You are a fool---
If you can’t understand legal or technical writing, you have no business blogging about it
“Wicking” is a term of art---fluid will travel in any direction via the fibers—regardless of gravity
-------------------
"Wick/wicking is in the patent classification system but not on HYDROLOGY textbooks."
The US Government states that LEGAL WICKING is not technical, being inert to gravity LAWS, meaning that LEGAL OIL LAMPS and LEGAL CANDLES can work upsided down. This sort of deceiving is behind the Economic Melting Down of 2008 burning about 41 trillion dollars, also dumping 1,1 million American as the leader of the pandemic catastrophe that took around 7 million lives world widely. In addition, obesity and sedentarism letting human beings miss brain capacity by becoming grumpier and dumber on neurogenesis effect.
Science is our understanding on nature functioning. Humans learn to respect nature early as babies on the first steps taming gravity for walking and running. Soon we understand the consequences of missteping and falling down. Therefore, all issued patents dealing with wick/wicking are CERTAINLY frauded because PATENT EXAMINERS ignored their homework from the beginning of their lives - GRAVITY.

[0007] Some conventional heat pipes, particularly heat pipes intended for use in low-gravity environments utilize arteries, i.e. channels, to provide capillary pressure to circulate the liquid-phase working fluid from the condenser to the evaporator. Some low-gravity heat pipes provide arterial wicks wherein the arteries carrying the liquid-phase working fluid are separated from the gas-phase region by a capillary-scale slot or a fine-weave mesh. Conventional arterial heat pipes, however, are susceptible to bubble-induced failures and, in addition, may fail to prime properly in a low-gravity environment. Bubbles may form in the liquid working fluid, such bubbles being particularly persistent in the presence of non-condensable gases, i.e. gases other than the heat pipe working fluid, that may be present as impurities or may evolve by chemical reaction during operation of the heat pipe.
[0008] Certain conventional arterial heat pipes may provide one or more wicks as an insert within the gas-phase region of the heat pipe. Wick inserts having machined structures may have limited flexibility, thereby presenting a challenge for use in deployable heat management systems, and inserted wick inserts having porous structures may have substantially lower heat transport capabilities, thereby presenting a challenge for use in a high-performance system such as may be required on space vehicles.
[0009] The present invention generally relates to heat-transfer systems and, in particular, to a bendable heat pipe having an axial wick insert.
[0020] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an exemplary wick insert according to certain aspects of the present disclosure.
[0029] FIGS. 12A-12C depict an exemplary configuration of a wick insert within a bellows tube in a flexible portion of a heat pipe according to certain aspects of the present disclosure.
[0030] FIGS. 13A-13B depict another embodiment of a flexible wick insert that can be bent in multiple directions according to certain aspects of the present disclosure.
[0031] The present invention generally relates to heat-transfer systems and, in particular, to a bendable heat pipe having an axial wick insert.
[0037] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an exemplary wick insert 150 according to certain aspects of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the wick insert comprises two elements 152 and 154. Element 152 comprises a separator plate 160 and a plurality of tabs 162 extending from a lower tab portion 164 on each side of the separator plate 160. Element 154 comprises a similar separator plate 161 and a plurality of tabs 163 extending from a lower tab portion 165 on each side of the separator plate 161. The wick insert element 154 comprises an inclined portion 161A and extended tabs 163A, which are discussed in greater detail with respect to FIG. 7. In this example, the separator plate 160 of element 152 comprises an extension 160A that will be disposed within the flexible portion 120 when the heat pipe 100 is assembled. In certain embodiments, the extension 160A does not have the lower tab portion 164 or the tabs 162. In certain embodiments, the extension 160A extends into the evaporator portion 130 when the heat pipe 100 is assembled and overlaps the separator plate 161 of the element 154. The function of this overlap is discussed in greater detail with respect to FIG. 5. In certain embodiments, the elements 152 and 154 each comprise attachment tabs 180 configured to be attached to the flexible portion 120 so as to locate the wickinsert 150 with respect to the flexible portion 120 and prevent displacement of the wick insert 150 as the heat pipe 100 bends. The attachment of attachment tabs 180 is discussed in greater detail with respect to FIG. 6C. Vent holes 170 are visible in the separator plate 160 of the condenser portion 110, and are discussed in greater detail with respect to FIGS. 10A & 10B. The labels E-E indicate the location of the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 7. A wick insert 150 may be particularly advantageous for use with outer tubes 112, 132 that are made from certain metals, e.g. nickel and Invar, that cannot easily be extruded with lengthwise grooves, such as shown in FIG. 11, to locate a wick insert.
[0039] The wick insert elements 152 and 154 are disposed within the outer tubes 112 and 132, respectively, and the wick insert element 152 extends through the bellow tube 190 and into the outer tube 132 where extension 160A overlaps the separator plate 161 of the wick insert 154. The wick inserts 152, 154 acts as barrier to form two distinct passages within the outer tubes 112, 132 and bellows tube 190. As the flexible portion 120 moves from the straight position to the flexed position, the elements of the flexible portion 120 bend about a neutral axis 151. Elements that are on an outer side of the neutral axis 151 will tend to stretch while elements that are on an inner side of the neutral axis 151 will tend to compress. As the separator plates 160, 161 are on the outer side of neutral axis 151, the separator plate 160 will pull away from the separator plate 161. The overlap of the extension 160A with the separator plate 161 maintains the continuity of the separator plates 160, 161 along the single axial chamber 200. The ability to maintain the continuity of the separator plates 160, 161, and therefore maintain the separation of the portions of the single axial chamber 200 that are above and below the separations plates 160, 161, is one feature that allows the assembled heat pipe 100 to be bent after fabrication while maintaining its heat transfer capability.
[0040] In the example embodiment, a spring 196 is disposed inside and constrained by the bellows 190 in the vapor-phase portion of the single axial chamber 200. The spring 196 is also constrained by the wick insert element 152. The spring 196 enables the wick insert element 152 to deform during flexure without buckling. As shown in FIG. 5, in the flexed position the bellows 190 and the spring 196 are bent so that at their radial edges the bellows 190 have a compressed inner side and an expanded outer side near the inner walls of the braided sleeve 192. Similarly, the spring 196 has an expanded radial edge and a compressed radial edge. As depicted in FIG. 5, the expanded spring radial edge is disposed against the separator plate 160 of the wick insert element 152 and the compressed spring radial edge is disposed against the bellows 190 inner diameter. It will be apparent to those of skill in the art that the flexible portion 120 may also be bent in the opposite manner where the expanded spring radial edge is disposed against the bellows 190 inner diameter and the compressed spring radial edge is disposed against the separator plate 160.
[0041] FIGS. 6A-6D are cross-sectional views of the heat pipe 100 of FIG. 3 according to certain aspects of the present disclosure. FIG. 6A shows the wick insert element 152 disposed within the outer tube 112 at location A-A. The wick insert 152 in the condenser portion 110 may be graded by the use of a splitter 115 that separates the liquid passage into two or more distinct sub-passages 202 and 203. The wick insert 152 contacts the inner wall of the outer tube 112, which comprises grooves 113, at the lateral corners of the separator plate 160 and the tips of the tabs 162 and the divider 115. The contact between the corners of the separator plate 160 and the grooves 113 is discussed in greater detail with respect to FIG. 6E. In operation, there will be a gas-phase flow 220 in the gas-phase passage 201 that is above the separator plate 160 and liquid-phase flows 225 and 230 in the arteries 202 and 203, respectively. The separator plate 160 has vent holes 172 in the region over the divider 115. Vent holes should have a diameter that is greater than or equal to the capillary pumping dimension of the liquid passage, which may be characterized by either the hydraulic diameter or the largest circle that can be inscribed within a cross-section of the liquid passage taken perpendicular to the tube centerline. Vent holes 172 are discussed in greater detail with respect to FIGS. 9A and 10A.
[0043] FIG. 6B shows the wick insert element 152 disposed within the outer tube 112 at location B-B. In the heat pipe 100 of FIG. 3, the divider 115 does not extend the full length of the condenser 110 and is not present at location B-B, leaving a single liquid-phase artery 204 that is in fluid communication with the arteries 202 and 203. In operation, there is a liquid-phase flow 235 that will divide into flows 225 and 230 when the flow 235 reaches the divider 115. In the region where there is no divider 115, the separator plate 160 has vent holes 174, which may be larger than the vent holes 172, that are discussed in greater detail with respect to FIGS. 9B and 10B. The labels F-F indicate the location of the enlarged view of FIG. 6E.
[0044] FIG. 6C depicts the attachment of the attachment tabs 180 of the wick insert element 154 to the outer tube 132 of the evaporator portion 130 by, for example, spot welds 182. Also visible is the extension 160A that, in this example, is underneath the separator plate 161 such that that extension 160A is captured between the inner wall of the outer tube 132 and the separator plate 161.
[0051] FIGS. 9A-9B are cross-sections of an example evaporation portion 410 of a heat pipe 400 showing the size of inscribed circles within the liquid-phase arteries 402, 403 according to certain aspects of the present disclosure. FIG. 9A depicts an outer tube 412 with a wick insert 452 having a separation plate 462 forming a gas-phase passage 401 and a single liquid-phase artery 402. The largest circle that can be inscribed within the cross-sectional area of the liquid-phase artery 402 is shown as the dashed-line circle 440.
[0052] When the wick insert 452 is installed into the tube 412, the tips of the plurality of tabs 462 are displaced inward while in contact with the inner surface of the tube 412 such that reaction forces 453 applied by the tube to the tips of the plurality of tabs 462 together provide a net downward force 454 on the wick insert 452. This downward force serves to maintain the lateral edges 466 in contact with or proximate to the inner surface of the tube 412.
[0056] FIG. 11 depicts an alternate configuration of a heat pipe 500 according to certain aspects of the present disclosure. Two narrow and opposing indents 490 penetrate outwards into the walls 432 of one or both of the condenser portion 110 and the evaporator portion 130. Each indent 490 provides a relatively small gap on the container internal surface into which a wick insert 490 is placed and retained. In the evaporator portion 130, the wick insert extension 492 may fit under the wick insert 490, similar to the configuration of extension 160A and separator plate 161 shown in FIG. 4, and into the same indents 490.
[0057] FIGS. 12A-12C depict an exemplary configuration of a wick insert 550 within a bellows tube 590 in a flexible portion 520 of a heat pipe according to certain aspects of the present disclosure. FIG. 12A depicts a partial cutaway view of a flexible portion 520 of a heat pipe, showing a braided sleeve 592 surrounding a bellows tube 590 within which is disposed a wick insert 550 and a spring 596, similar to the flexible portion 120 of FIG. 5. The separator plate 560 of the wick insert 550 separates the gas-phase passage 601 from the liquid-phase artery 604. The labels G-G indicate the location of the view of FIG. 12B.
[0060] FIGS. 13A-13B depict another embodiment of a flexible wick insert 700 that can be bent in multiple directions according to certain aspects of the present disclosure. FIG. 13A is a perspective view of the wick insert 700 that is comprises of a separation plate 710 with, in this embodiment, vent holes 730 formed in the solid portions 712 on either side of the flexible portion 711. This embodiment includes several tabs 720 spaced along the wick insert 700 that serve to hold the wick insert in place within a bellows tube, e.g. the bellows tube 590 of FIG. 12A, in place of the spring 596. In certain embodiments, the tabs 720 are used with a spring, e.g. the spring 596 of FIG. 12A. A portion 13B of the wick insert 700 is enlarged in FIG. 13B. In certain embodiments, the tabs 720 are welded to the separation plate 710. In certain embodiments, the tabs 720 may be coupled to the separation plate using other attachment methods known to those of skill in the art, e.g. mechanically interlocking, brazing, soldering, etc.
[0061] FIG. 13B shows a portion of the wick insert 700 where a plurality of slots 714 alternately extend inward from the lateral edges 713 to create a serpentine form in the separation plate 710. The portions of the serpentine form that are aligned parallel to a centerline 740 of the separation plate 710 have a first width 718. The portions of the serpentine form that are perpendicular to the centerline 740 have a second width 716. In certain embodiments, the slots 714 extend past the centerline 740. In certain embodiments, the first and second widths 718, 716 are approximately equal. In certain embodiments, the first width 718 is less than the second width 716. The slots 714 increase the lateral flexibility of the wick insert 700 in a plane that is parallel to the separation plate 710 and passes through both lateral edges 713. In certain embodiments, a flexible portion of a heat pipe that includes the wick insert 700 may be locally bent in any plane that passes through the centerline 740. In certain embodiments, a flexible portion of a heat pipe that includes the wick insert 700 may be sequentially bent along its length in different planes that each pass through the centerline 740.
[0062] In certain embodiments, the portion of the wick insert 700 that is located within a condenser portion or evaporator portion, e.g. sections 110, 130 of heat pipe 100 in FIG. 3, may have slots 714 such that the condenser portion or evaporator portion can be bent or formed into a particular shape after assembly. The degree of flexibility and the minimum radius of curvature that can be achieved while bending either the rigid condenser or evaporator portions or the flexible portion of a heat pipe may be a function of one or more of the spacing and the length of the slots.
Bill Clinton then American President was on my commencement on May 10, 1996 saying that we were privileged for receiving the highest education that the US can offer its citizens. He said we would be developing new technologies never excepted before. Pennsylvania is the Keystone State for virtue and liberty. William Penn and Benjamin Franklin would get disappointed on their role in the American Revolution as afterwards my graduation this American President was doing oral sex with Monica Lewinsky intern in the White House office. Penn State president Graham Spanier and Joe Paterno coach were covering up a wave of pedophile abuse that lasted a decade letting Jerry Sandusky abuse disadvantaged boys just where I got my PhD. Now Penn State is joining the Wicking Mob conspiring and colluding with USPTO and Law firms on patenting affairs letting reinvention of Intellectual Property with flaws, disrespecting the Law, Science, and knowledge from your old textbooks. I am a PennStater and my ‘scientific breakthrough’ (US pat 6,766,817) is being violated by flawed patents from lay and dishonest people. Just for curiosity my PhD thesis in Soil Science is rotting at the fourth floor library of ASI bldg. Lay people behind wick/wicking neither understand Hydrology nor the functioning of oil lamps. The science is called Hydrology and the phenomenon is called Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow. The ignorance is so appalling that there is a wicking culture derailing from libraries and common knowledge nurturing flaws like wicking drainage pretending that oil lamps have wicks in the bottom for drainage. As a farm boy raised in a coffee plantation I have no doubt that these wicking people have never ever seeing an oil lamp in their entire life displaying the flame in the top continuously sucking fuel upward from a deposit underneath by a porous interface called wick that draws a fluid by Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity (V/A/T=mm3/mm2/s). Oh! Dear!
The scientific and technological gap, as well as distortion and manipulation of science and institutions, is so huge that there is room for a new science to start fresh new expanding boundaries of knowledge and purging society from pretention, misguidance and dishonesty. For sure there is no other option besides a commitment to honesty always pursuing a balance with Mother Nature - HYDROTECHNOLOGY - A New Science.
Why is Stanford University cheating Hydrology?
Power vs. Knowledge
Henry Darcy in 1856 addressing fluid flow on porosity proposed the Darcy’s Law. Hydraulic Conductivity gages flow through a cross sectional area by time (volume/area/time) as ‘the velocity of the flow is proportional to the hydraulic gradient’. Afterwards in 1907 Edgard Buckingham suggested a change in the equation to address Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow, as the negative pressure upward against gravity (Soil Physics, Jury et al., 1991, John Wiley). It has been observed that many inventors and scientists employing the terminology ‘wick/wicking’ neither understand the functioning of oil lamps nor Hydrogeology in their libraries, concerning the functioning of Hydraulic Zones. They come up with scientific flaws as wicks only have negative hydraulic flow (unsaturated). Wick is a porous flexible structure resistant to fire that moves fuel toward a flame (Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow) in order to comply with its Etymology it must also resist to high temperatures of flames. It becomes a very basic Etymological flaw to call something as a wick that fails as wick on oil lamps. Then, it is impossible to contrive a wick that cannot perform as a wick. Even more, wicks could never be used as a draining porosity under saturated conditions which is not that easily handled by lay people missing deep comprehension on Hydraulic Zones interplay. After all, wicks never worked in the bottom of oil lamps and it was initially meant to constantly supply fluid under demand to a flame with a very clear hydraulic functioning.
It is a blatant mistake by any faculty handling ‘microfluidic devices’ ignoring the science of fluids – Hydrology and the Law.
Comprehension of American Academic Values
On a pursue of a ‘scientific breakthrough’ I bumped to a huge technical and scientific gap lasting more than a century also associated to an ongoing sort of conspiracy in the patenting system regarding intellectual property affairs as a blatant reinvention scheme is taking place sometimes with flawed patents. USPTO deliberately assigs lay Examiners to judge issues they are not know in the art in combination with outrageous multiple applications of the same invention as it were possible to invent the same thing over and over. The distortion is so evident that in the cover up USPTO does not disclose the technical background of Patent Examiners to assure that they are judging issues within their skill boundaries. Patent Examiners are judging issues and hiding their technical expertise. On their intellectual acumen scientists are engaged with disclosing Nature principles making them also very sensitive to perceive coherence on human affairs since we are part of Nature as well. Scientists learn about Theory of Knowledge and Metaphysics of existence just to know what can be known.
