Filed:

Mar 16, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/377738

Inventors:

Cyrus Gerami - Chicago IL, US

International Classification:

H05B 6/64

US Classification:

219757000

Abstract:

A canopy vent hood, particularly for mounting below an over-the-range microwave oven, has a substantially flat first side panel, a substantially flat second side panel and a triangulate-profiled nose element. The first and second side panels are spaced apart, and the nose element is translatable between a first position jutting out and downwardly over the range top from between the first and second side panels, to a second position jutting out over the range top from between the first and second side panels, to a third position completely retracted between the first and second side panels. The first and second side panels each have a substantially straight-vertical first front edge, and these edges lie substantially within and determine a vertical plane. The nose member is substantially disposed forward of the vertical plane in the first position and substantially disposed behind the vertical plane in the third position. The nose element can be a substantially see-through nose element. A method of preparing food and venting fumes, heat, vapor and other emissions in the vicinity of the range top employs the canopy vent hood mounted below an over-the-range microwave oven. The nose member is translated to the first position during cooking, and up to the second position while cooking if arm reach is needed. The third position is used after the cooking process, storing the nose member out of the way.

Abstract:

A reciprocating motion energy conversion apparatus is adapted to capture kinetic energy of wind, waves, or other reciprocating or turbulent motion in order to generate electricity. A rolling shaft rests on a shaft guide frame, with the rolling shaft being coupled to the input shaft of at least one electric generator. As the shaft guide frame tilts or rocks, the rolling shaft rolls on the shaft guide frame, turning the input shaft of the generator and producing electricity. In a Wave rocker embodiment, the shaft guide surface is secured within a buoyant, waterproof enclosure, which is placed in a body of water to convert energy from wave motions. In a Wind board embodiment, the shaft guide frame is suspended from two swing panels, which are put into swinging motion by turbulent winds, causing the rolling shaft to roll and turn the input shaft of each pair of electric generators.
