Spinal cord injury affects 17,000 Americans and 700,000 people worldwide each year. A research team at NeuroPair, Inc. won the Grand Prize in the 2023 Create the Future Design Contest for a revolutionary approach to spinal cord repair. In this Here’s an Idea podcast episode, Dr. Johannes Dapprich, NeuroPair’s CEO and founder, discusses their groundbreaking approach that addresses a critical need in the medical field, offering a fast and minimally invasive solution to a long-standing problem.

The effects of global warming are palpable. Heat and cold waves are now more frequent and more extreme. Naturally, we want to feel comfortable and would instinctively rely on air conditioners and radiators to warm up or cool down the spaces we are in. Unfortunately,
The primary goal of this concept is to provide an efficient means to capture energy that is produced offshore during off peak times for later use. It would employ a wind or solar powered compressor to condense a refrigerant at high pressures,
Thesis
We have developed a working method to immediately detect and locate nearby, unknown personal trackers using only a combination of simply RF demodulation and a custom algorithm.
Problem
Personal trackers such as Apple’s AirTag®, Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag®, Tile Tracker® and others are being used to stalk people,
The "RoboGuts™ S.T.E.A.M. Education Program" is a perfect system for a home hobby side business. The hobbyist provides a "Maker Space" I like to call a "L'Robotoriuim Shop" http://LRobotorium.
Water enters the combustion chamber and separates into hydrogen and oxygen and explosion occurs.
No friction. No lubrication system.
Fuel -- Water, Steam, compressed air, alcohol, biofuel, hydrogen, natural gas, gasoline,
Wireless power generating computer mouse and mousepad used to harvest mouse movement using a triboelectric nanogenerator. The power produced by the mouse motion on the mousepad is used to power the mouse.
Power generating mousepad and wireless mouse that are self-powered using triboelectrification.
The Idea I am submitting is a very crude but a starting Idea for a manned space vehicle.
This vehicle is a single man unit that can be used instead of the space suit. It will use gyro scopes for attitude adjustment, role, pitch and yaw.
"Vacuum (Negative Energy)" as Shock Damping Energy Source.
It uses the “Contraction Force of Vacuum” as potential damping energy.
In order for the “Negative Energy(Vacuum)” to function as Shock Damping Force, it inversely structured the location of where Damping Energy is stored.
All Alchemist784™ technologies systems employed within EARTHGRID™ are closed-loop 'cradle2cradle' configurations by intentional design to create sustainability and increase and maximize opportunities for re-harvest/re-use of the waste energies within the processes. Functionality involves use of several complex sciences orchestrated through our proprietary algorithms.
