The Altus manufacturing method utilizes a patented spool movement system (US #7132027) to braid and consolidate composite grid poles (see www.isotruss.com). While multiple grid pole designs are possible, they are all stronger than any conventional pole currently in the market such as wood, concrete, steel, composite,
The FireStorm Plasma iPlug is a new entry in the formerly mundane area of Spark Plugs. All Spark Plugs produce "sparks" to ignite the Air Fuel Mixture in the combustion Chambers. FireStorm is different, it produces "PLASMA". By doing that,
ICE(internal combustion engine)are very highly developed machines. Today any improvement in the efficiency is needed to extend the supply of limited resources.
Modern ICE engineers have developed every part but one the valve that connects the atmosphere to the combustion chamber.
