WhalePower is in the process of developing a range of new, more efficient fans for computer cooling. Our corporation holds the patent to develop new fans, turbines, pumps and compressors improved by a unique blade shape, enhanced by bumps on the leading edges of the rotor blades called "tubercles.
What with this Hydrogen production and use, its all very well having no fuel bills to worry about, Hyperspace travel (does anyone know how to steer in hyperspace under rocket power?) and saving the Earth as we go about it, but as we all know, Hydrogen is dangerous stuff.
Cutting of stencils on mylar, paper,or plastic sheets for artwork is usually by Exacto knives, or by modified soldering irons. In this idea,
The Solar Energy Collection and Transfer Satellite uses a system of EMBs (Electro-Mechanical Batteries, Figure 1) to store energy collected by solar panels located on the satellite. EMBs store energy through spinning a composite flywheel with an electric motor, which is incorporated into the battery.
Consists of LED array and driver circuit that uses novel idea to lower power usage over standard LED lamps, simplifies manufacturing, can be applied to medical theraphy LED lamps in all its light spectrum, can be applied to several lighting products,
We have a million models of mobile phones in our midst but I have not yet come across a model with a built-in intercom which can facilitate two-way communication between two authenticated parties using the GHz range or a WiFi protocol within a short range of say
“Is 150 Year Old Technology the Best Design for the Next 100 years of High Speed Rail (HSR)?”
For over 150 years, one structural rail technology has been used to transport both (1) bulk items such as coal, grains, chemicals, and containerized cargo; and (2) people. Today,
This invention channels wave energy through float weights, cables, hydraulics and a generator into electricity for public use.
{Diagram 1}
Float weights* move up and down on the surface of water with each wave. The up and down motion of the float weights are transmitted into linear cable motion.
This design responds to concerns regarding electric car solutions (battery, mileage per charge, charging the batteries.. etc.) it also responds to congestion problems and provides mobility to underage, elderly,
The MDMouse(TM) product is a new innovation in home-based medical measurement technology. It combines an otherwise conventional computer optical mouse controller with one or more internal medical parameter measurement devices such as a blood pressure cuff or blood glucometer etc. which are stored in the mouse.
