We have found that often we put something in the microwave, start it, walk away, and get distracted only to find rotting food in the microwave the next day. One problem is that the light in the microwave is only on during the heating of the food,
My invention is a fish friendly hydro power system. Traditional hydro power use dams and rotating turbines to produce power. Both of these can have negative environmental impacts. My invention uses no blades or other rotating machinery. Instead the system takes advantage of the Venturi effect.
Power electronics as the controllers of speed are used for the velocity control of motors in the petroleum operations.
Because the extraction pumps are at extreme depths is required that this equipment is fed by an electrical system of median tension.
