Patent
Geothermal energy conversion system
TL;DR: In this article, a geothermal energy recovery system of improved efficiency makes use of thermal energy stored in hot, solute-bearing well water as it is pumped upward to the earth's surface through an extended heat exchange element for continuously heating a downward flowing organic fluid to a supercritical state.
Patent
Acoustic isolation for a telemetry system on a drill string
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for the transmission of data along a borehole during drilling operations which includes an acoustic transmitter receiver and mechanical filters is described. But this system is not suitable for the use of underwater applications.
Patent
Gravity head geothermal energy conversion system
TL;DR: In this paper, a closed-loop fluid lubricant pumping and cooling system for the bearings of the turbine and brine pump system, normally isolated from the working fluid loop and the hot brine pumping and heat exchange loop, was proposed.
Patent
Geothermal energy system and method
TL;DR: In this paper, a geothermal energy transfer and utilization system makes use of thermal energy stored in hot solute-bearing well water to generate super-heated steam from an injected flow of clean water.
Patent
Geothermal energy pump and monitor system
TL;DR: In this paper, the operation of a geothermal well power-generation system is monitored by sensor, communication, and performance monitoring equipment permanently associated with the operating power generation system, which is transmitted by multiplex communication to receiver and utilization means at the earth's surface.
