This project is a revolutionary non-polluting environmental process, using proprietary technology, chemicals and mechanical devices, which efficiently separates and transforms used nylon carpeting into its original individual components for reuse, namely; nylon, polypropylene, and rubber adhesive. In the United States alone,
Recoil saw
Using a hand saw requires repeated push and pull strokes. Normally this involves either: limiting the force of each stroke, or making a separate effort to stop each stroke.
The recoil devices are simply an impact bar, attached to 1 or more springs,
This idea will eliminate millions of power cords, product cases, remotes, duplicated circuits and save much energy. It will save consumers and manufactures much money. It is a win win situation and can be made in America. It will work in all countries.
This entry seeks to find a way to broaden our consciousness of our electrical consumption through visual cues and information modeling. The primary issue we would like to “illuminate” is Phantom Power Loads from electronic devices and appliances.
The Zero Pollution Aircraft Engine© (ZPAE©) from Massive Nibble© will be the world’s first solar-powered engine targeting both the private and commercial aircraft markets. The ZPAE© is a new, much more efficient Stirling heat engine configuration that can be rapidly and precisely throttled.
The Massive Nibble© Zero Pollution Engine™ (ZPE©) will take solar power to a whole new level. It’s a new, very simple, much more efficient Stirling heat engine design, that can be made with a power density exceeding that of internal combustion engines and can be rebuilt indefinitely.
Chameleons would look like ordinary white shoes. They would come in different styles, from Air Force 1-like shoes to high-top skater-like shoes, and even women friendly fashions.
Ships have propellers which are designed to fling water relatively rearwards in an efficient manner. Tidal power is one area of ‘alternative energy’ which seems as if it has some chance for being cost effective.
This invention is a new form of tyre which can be changed without removing any wheels and jacking up several tonnes of steel.
It is in the form of a number of separate rubber compartments, each with a metal foot bonded on.
