Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Heater for Ultra High Pressure Compressed Gas." This invention involves a pneumatic power supply designed to power servo controls and actuators. It features a filament wound composite and aluminum ultra-high pressure vessel containing helium, which houses an internal pyrotechnic heat-generating element. This element provides thermal energy to the system, compensating for adiabatic cooling of the gas during blowdown. The heater ensures that the gas temperature remains relatively constant, effectively increasing run time during the delivery of high-pressure gas to pneumatic controls in missiles.
Another notable patent is the "Liquid Propellant Gun, Positive Displacement Single Valve." This invention presents an improved bi-propellant injection system for a liquid propellant gun. It includes a valve that is positively opened at the start of fuel and oxidizer injection into the gun chamber. The valve maintains a predetermined displacement, providing a constant size propellant orifice throughout the injection cycle.
