Enhanced EAS system box and server system consists of a legacy with all legacy features and settings and same codes ever used as well as custom same code programmable capable EAS box and server system with the latest features that have been proposed are propose or will be added shortly.
The present invention is based upon modifications of a Create the Future Design Contest Entry, which I filed on July 1, 2012, titled: “Superconducting Solenoid Liquid Vortex Power and Propulsion.” In the previous invention, fresh or salt water was compelled to vortex flow through the bore of larger diameter, high magnetic field solenoid coil “perpetual room-temperature-superconducting” electromagnets,
PROBLEM:
Salt and other chemicals rust undercarriage components. Car-bottom rust is dangerous and expensive.
The undercarriage is vulnerable to damage due to lack of care. Salt and mud damage is a safety issue -- many undercarriage components cannot be rustproofed. The greatest need for non-collision car repair results from preventable undercarriage rust.
The project consists of using the current demanded by the cities and using it for the generation of hydrogen using current to voltage transformers.
The amount of hydrogen generated by this system will depend on the consumption of the electrical network and the capacity of the current transformers.
Large companies like Google Waymo, General Motors, Amazon and others are investing billions of dollars in Robotaxi development, but they are missing two very important facts:
A large part of the future passengers will be very hesitant to share ride with strangers in a car without a driver, researcher Sigma Dolins found this and named it "Sharing Anxiety.
The sustainability crisis extends to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) , where human-made debris poses a ubiquitous threat. As one piece of a broader solution, we're bringing electronic textile technology to LEO for the first time, prompting an opportunity for industry and technology convergence among the electronics, textile manufacturing, and space technology industries.

AquaDynamics is developing a water purification system that will allow the recycling of water. It uses no filters, chemicals or UV light. Instead, it purifies water the way nature does: through evaporation and condensation, only more efficiently -- up to 99.75% efficient. I have worked on systems like this for 15 years.
The energy-free energy generator relates to a power tool which needs no fuel and no electric power supply. It is light and rapid and has strong power and aims at saving the earth and eliminating haze. With an increased number of features, mobile devices like smart phones, tablets etc are requiring more power. To extend their operating life,
Illnesses with airborne transmission vectors have been in the news, especially in the last couple of years. The current state-of-the-art for airborne particle containment is to encumber healthcare staff with bulky personal protective equipment (PPE) or create negative pressure isolation rooms. Bulky PPE can limit visibility and make routine tasks more difficult.
The Hawk Aerocar
Ever since people have gazed into the sky and wondered as birds soared overhead, mankind has desired to fly – to take off by themselves and fly to any destination they wanted. This is now possible and without congested airport and overbooked planes.
