Hydrogen Extraction

This machine is based off of electrolysis that has been a known format of extracting hydrogen. We know about electrolysis and how it works. The question is have we done all that we can. I propose a different way of thinking about the process.

Hydroponic Screen Wall

The average distance fresh food travels before being purchased and consumed in the US is over 1,000 miles. This huge distance creates numerous problems, including increased emissions due to transportation, spoilage of goods, and reduced product quality. Perhaps more unnerving is the disconnection we have with food.

Improved Use of Inconstant Power

Currently the use of inconstant power sources, such as wind turbines, is needlessly expensive and "hi-tech." Turbine blades resemble airliner wings, and the turbines require transmissions, electric generators (with imported rare earths), and fancy electronics, etc. for phase matching to the electrical grid. The electrical power so generated cannot be stored.

Improved Windpower

Friction has finally been overcome by application of a novel, spherical NanoDiamond coating applied to sustainable energy, primarily Windpower Gear-boxes and Bearings. Additional benefits are ultra high efficiency and extremely long part life, as metal on metal contact is virtually removed.

Irrigation with Condensation

THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE: WE USE SOLAR POWER TO PRODUCE ENERGY TO CHILL WATER IN A WATER TANK TO BELOW DEW POINT. FROM THE TANK, THE CHILLED WATER FLOWS IN A CLOSED CYCLE (WITH THE HELP OF A SMALL PUMP) IN BLIND PIPES, PLACED IN PARALLEL NEAR THE PLANTS, ON THE SOIL AND NEAR THE ROOTS,

Krehmer's Fountain

World population is estimated at over 7 billion people. Global population is expected to peak at approximately 10 billion people. Many millions of people are currently starving, malnourished and don't have access to safe drinking water.

Water tends to be scarcest where it is needed the most, i.e. the Middle East, Australia, the Sahara Desert, Northern Mexico,

Lighting Bolts in a Box

LIGHTING BOLTS IN A BOX

There is a distinct world?wide need for a technology that can offer an exponential advance in electric energy storage above and beyond the basic technologies of Lithium?based batteries and ultra?capacitors. Such a revolutionary advance should far surpass and exceed the electric energy storage capabilities of Lithium?

Lightning-Laser Magnetically-Pinched Nuclear-Fusion Power Generator

The lightning-laser magnetically-pinched nuclear-fusion power generator emits an air ionizing laser beam such as an ultraviolet laser beam towards the sky. This air ionizing beam produces an ionized conductive column(s) of air which conducts an artificial lightning, high voltage, high alternating frequency electrical current produced by a first tesla coil into the sky, clouds,

Low Cost Concentrating Photovoltaic System

In summary, this invention can greatly reduce PV system cost. A low cost PV system is self sustainable and makes the cost of renewable PV energy comparable or lower than conventional sources. The market potential is enormous. The current Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) systems have not achieved their intended goals in reducing the PV system cost.

Low Temperature Energy Converter

Thermal Charge Pump (Energy Conversion via Second-Order Quantum Coupling)

One of my primary interests has always been the conversion of low-grade or waste heat, and heat from lightly concentrated solar flux (i.e., temperatures between 100-500 degrees C),
