ElectroCeramics Energy and Propulsion
Acoustio-optical resonant refrigeration in self-oscillating ceramic waveguide structure.
The dominating factor in realizing ambient superconductor technology lies mostly with the technique of cooling a selective and predetermined recipe of ceramic materials.
This design idea started with the studying of the basic principle of the electrostatic engine developed by Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Gordon, which works by the attraction forces existing between electrical charges of different sign. Also,
Salamander Research And Development's latest idea concerns the worldwide demand for potable water.
Most distillation devices require replaceable filters or sophisticated wiring or plumbing. My device is scalable from 1/2 liter on up;
Endangering the world, nuclear power generation’s vulnerability to natural elements is now so visible in Fukushima, Japan. Yet, for more than 50 years the US Navy has operated safely nuclear submarines. While nuclear submarines have been lost at sea, no one of ours has ever contaminated the environment.
Most television broadcast stations, cable channels, and satellite channels use logos extensively. For example, in the History Channel, they use a bright “H” and other items in the corner of the picture continuously. This is very obnoxious and it distracts from the enjoyment of the picture.
My idea is a product which would replace the cap on standard automotive washer fluid reservoirs and other types of applications. If you have ever tried to fill the fluid without a funnel handy fluid gets spilled all over.
Climate change, global warming, oil spills and nuclear disasters are just some of the bad effects that our planet is experiencing due to the use of energy derived from fossil fuels. The need for a safe, clean, efficient,
The Distributed Power Monitoring System consists of 2 components:
1. A base station (usb memory stick form factor).
The base station receives periodic reports (configurable) from
field units via low-power radio (Zigbee or similar next-gen product)
It also includes software to process the data,
Challenge:
If ethanol and other bio-fuel production is necessary plus, it can be made economically viable, then is switchgrass a better choice than corn.
Yearly we watch helplessly as the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio River valleys and their tributaries display the enormous power of water by flooding…destroying lives and property. We, as taxpayers, spend millions and billions of dollars every year doing clean up and rebuilding to see a reoccurrences in following years.
