US Patent:

43513190, Sep 28, 1982

Filed:

Aug 17, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/067283

Inventors:

Roland W. Robbins - Ridgecrest CA

International Classification:

F24J 302

US Classification:

126425

Abstract:

Apparatus for maintaining a radiation sensitive portion thereof in alignment with a distant source of radiation during relative movement between the situs of the apparatus and the source, wherein movement from alignment causes a differential in energy output in spaced apart elements of the radiation sensitive portion which is transformed into mechanical energy to return the portion to alignment.

Filed:

Feb 17, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/658544

Inventors:

Roland W. Robbins - Ridgecrest CA

International Classification:

H24J 302
G01J 120

US Classification:

126270

Abstract:

An apparatus for causing a solar energy collector to constantly follow the sun using the sun's radiant energy reflected from an arrangement of mirrors to differentially heat fluid-containing reservoirs to create a differential pressure which is utilized to rotate the apparatus and the collector.

Filed:

Mar 26, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/362355

Inventors:

Roland W. Robbins - Ridgecrest CA

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

F25B 900

US Classification:

62 6

Abstract:

This invention comprises a cryogenic cooling device operating in the manner f a split Stirling cycle engine whereby a sinusoidal pressure-wave generator distal to a regenerator displacer piston and accompanying cylinder, individually compresses in a delayed manner and expands a contained volume of gas in an expander housing respective to regenerator displacer piston travel to bring about a cooling effect in an attached displacer housing.
