Methods of powering a heat engine with a remote lasers are disclosed, where the ambient air surrounding the engine is used as the working fluid. All methods include inputting the ambient air into the engine, absorbing laser optical radiation, turning it into heat, supplying the heat to the air, harvesting mechanical work from expanding air and releasing the air back into surrounding atmosphere.

Laser powered, air breathing, open-cycle heat engines

Methods of laser powering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with heat engines are disclosed. The laser powered heat engines are used in conjunction with devices for absorbing laser optical radiation, turning the laser optical radiation into heat, supplying the heat to a working fluid of the heat engine and harvesting mechanical work from expanding working fluid in the heat engine.

Methods of laser powering unmanned aerial vehicles with heat engines

A hands-free female and male urine collection apparatus has a body with connected side, front, rear and bottom wall, with the side and front walls inclined inwardly. Portions of the bottom wall are inclined downwardly from the front wall towards the back wall and opposed portions of the bottom wall are inclined downwardly and inwardly from the side walls. The bottom wall terminates in a funnel shaped drain having a depending outlet. An adapter depends from the bottom wall and includes a flange to slidably receive a flanged cup. A plurality of right angularly related mount strips or other mount device extends radially outward from the body and are adapted to supportably bear upon a toilet bowl.
