I have invented a Thermoelectric Generator with electrical power of 5,000 watts AC. The generator is the size of a bread box and weight is 15lbs. It is made of bismuth-tellurium P&N semiconductors arranged in a circular or square Thermopile. I researched,
In recent years, aluminum alloys have become the dominant material for body-in-white (BiW) and battery enclosures (“BE”) in electric vehicles (“EV”) due to their low density. Aluminum BiW and BE, or other platform parts, typically provide weight savings of ~40% compared to equivalent commercially-used steels.
The Wave’s inertial electric generator (WIEG) is a small linear electric generator in which a part is moving almost continuously based on a special sealed construction of some cylinder (with a Donut Fixed Neodymium Magnet) in cylinder (with double walls inside the copper coils to collect the generated current)
While the importance of physical (social) distancing in reducing the spread of COVID-19 has been well-documented, implementing similar controls in public transit remains an open question. For instance, in the United States, guidance for maximum seating capacity in single-destination public transit settings, such as school buses,
CONCEPT FOR A WORLD WIDE ELECTRICAL GRID
It is time to start a world wide electrical grid. A feasibility study needs to be started now. The technology exists to build a world wide electrical grid now.
SOLAR SHIELD CONCEPT
A swarm of drone devices are places in orbit between the plane and sun. 1 km reflective shield array of sufficient size and numbers to make the desired impact on the amount of warming radiation reaching the planet’s surface. The swarm is computer controlled,

Problem statement
A study published in the journal Biological Conservation found that U.S. turbines kill 234,000 birds per year on average, while a newer study, published in Energy Science, found that about 150,000 birds are affected by wind turbines in the U.S. per year.
High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Systems
Our design idea solves the problems of cheating in High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) carpool lanes. HOV is a traffic management strategy experiencing a large, planned expansion. HOVs are used globally to reduce traffic congestion and promote public transportation use for encouraging ride-sharing.
