The Trash Lure is customer product specifically designed to snag waterborne trash. The lure is intended for use around marinas and other public water sport locations. The Trash Lure's body is made like any other lure, usually injection molded plastic, but the hook is barbless.
The invention relates to saving the kinetic energy of the vehicle (any car/bus/truck/train/two-wheelers) wasted at the time of breaking by converting it into potential energy for reuse, thereby increasing the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.
This design presents a method for containing oil from a subsea oil blowout. An apparatus constructed from this design will mitigate the spread of oil slicks from subsea oil blowouts, with the benefit of allowing oil exploration to proceed with diminished risk of environmental damage.
Transforms your existing smartphone into a true videophone, solving the "opposing camera and display" problem, allowing simultaneous viewing and transmission of relevant video -- the fundamental requirement of videophones.
The potential benefits are having video chat and conferencing for the masses; accessibility to remote,
The Solar Forge is comprised of a large parabola section reflector, a carriage, and a target. The parabola concentrates sunlight, the carriage allows the parabola to track the sun, and the target makes the resulting heat available for a practical purpose.
The portable single-axis solar tracker is designed to track the motion of the sun across the horizon to improve the efficiency of the users solar powered equipment.
