LiftPort Lunar Space Elevator Infrastructure
“Lunar Space Elevators for Cislunar Space Development”
LiftPort Group and its ‘Best in Class’ team of experts have come together (for the first time ever) with a unique, revolutionary rethink of the Lunar Elevator concept. LiftPort’s Lunar Space Elevator Infrastructure (LSEI) is different.
Blind people are constantly at risk for being hit by cars which they cannot see. Especially in contemporary society where cars are getting quieter and quieter (electric cars produce essentially no noise) it is extremely important to be able to alert blind people of oncoming traffic.
"Kaplan Crystalline 'Room-Temperature' Superconducting Alloy Wire" is wound into large coils which can be “charged” to create large, high magnetic field, “perpetual electromagnets.” Either fresh or salt water can be easily compelled into high velocity and high momentum vortex flow within the electrically-insulated center of such solenoids,
Project Overview:
The goal of this project is to duplicate the generating power of a hydro power dam immersed totally underwater. This would work by using the pressure depth to deliver the pressure head for the turbines.
Project Overview:
This project will create an energy producing device that will take in an underwater current, increase its velocity 3 to 10 times. This gives the CKM an advantage over most designs today for current to power devices.
When the Pulsed Turbine duel tandem four-chambered rotor engine comes to fruition, it will display inherit redundancy characteristics, built-in safety features not found in other aviation engines. This design configuration brings two separated Pulsed Turbine Rotor Engines, (U.S. Patent: US 6,907,723 B1),
The present invention segregates the various contaminates
from each treatment or process step, thereby resulting in a
plurality of recovery tanks each containing only a single
contaminant. Because each recovery tank contains only a
single contaminant, the process of recovering that single contaminant, if desired,
The Pulsed Turbine Transvector Jet Propulsion concept is a recently developed adaptation to the Pulsed Turbine Rotor Engine and The Pulsed Turbine Jet Propulsion concept.
Analog to Digital Converters, ADC, provide digital representations of analog voltages/power for digital signal processing and control circuitry.
As sampling rates increase, problems of temperature drift, noise, aperture uncertainty and many more factors are exacerbated. Around 1978 a very bright Engineering Technician ( Bob ),
Sleep disorders are simultaneously among the most common diseases and the least diagnosed. Symptoms range from low energy, irritability, and concentration difficulties to sleep attacks, cardiac arrhythmias, and hallucinations. Considering the USA, more than 70 million people possibly have a sleep disorder,
