Systems and methods for direct air capture of carbon dioxide or other gases utilize a calcium sorbent in a manner that allows for wide scale, relatively low cost implementation. In particular, a calcium sorbent may be provided as a substantially thin coating on one or more substrates and utilized for direct air capture of carbon dioxide through chemisorption. The carbonated sorbent may be disposed of for sequestration of the carbon dioxide or regenerated with capture of carbon dioxide released from the carbonated sorbent during the regeneration process.

Direct capture of carbon dioxide

The present disclosure relates to a launch system and method. The launch system and method can include at least a preliminary accelerator tube system (PAT) that can be combined with one or more of a main accelerator tube system (MAT), a flight test tube, or a soft catch. The PAT alone or combined with the MAT can be used for launch of a vehicle for testing and/or for delivery of a payload.

Vehicle launch system and method

The present disclosure provides methods, assemblies, and systems for power production that can allow for increased efficiency and lower cost components arising from the control, reduction, or elimination of turbine blade mechanical erosion by particulates or chemical erosion by gases in a combustion product flow. The methods, assemblies, and systems can include the use of turbine blades that operate with a blade velocity that is significantly reduced in relation to conventional turbines used in typical power production systems. The methods and systems also can make use of a recycled circulating fluid for transpiration protection of the turbine and/or other components. Further, recycled circulating fluid may be employed to provide cleaning materials to the turbine.

High efficiency power production methods, assemblies, and systems

The present disclosure relates to a launch system and method. The launch system and method can include at least a preliminary accelerator tube system (PAT) that can be combined with a main accelerator tube system (MAT). The PAT alone or combined with the MAT can be used for launch of a vehicle for testing and/or for delivery of a payload.

The present invention provides methods and system for power generation using a high efficiency combustor in combination with a COcirculating fluid. The methods and systems advantageously can make use of a low pressure ratio power turbine and an economizer heat exchanger in specific embodiments. Additional low grade heat from an external source can be used to provide part of an amount of heat needed for heating the recycle COcirculating fluid. Fuel derived COcan be captured and delivered at pipeline pressure. Other impurities can be captured.

An optical receiver is provided for a diverged-beam, free space optical communications system. The optical receiver includes a demultiplexer and a detector array. The demultiplexer includes a diffractive optic configured to receive an optical beam propagating in free space. The optical beam includes a plurality of optical carrier signals of respective wavelengths for a plurality of communication channels, and the diffractive optic is configured to spatially separate the optical beam by wavelength into the plurality of optical carrier signals. The detector array includes a plurality of optical detectors configured to convert the plurality of optical carrier signals into a respective plurality of electrical signals for the plurality of communication channels. The plurality of optical detectors includes at least twice as many optical detectors as optical carrier signals in the plurality of optical carrier signals.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods useful in capture of one more moieties (e.g., carbon dioxide) from a gas stream (i.e., direct air capture). In various embodiments, the systems and methods can utilize at least a scrubbing unit, a regeneration unit, and an electrolysis unit whereby an alkali solution can be used to strip the moiety (e.g., carbon dioxide) from the gas stream, the removed moiety can be regenerated and optionally purified for capture or other use, and a formed salt can be subjected to electrolysis to recycle the alkali solution back to the scrubber for re-use with simultaneous production of one or more further chemicals.
