It is essential that electronics technology be taught early in our schools to ensure that the next generation can understand how to use, maintain, build,
Energy Generating Autonomous Sailing Craft (EGASC), unlike other wind energy conversion technologies requiring high stress resisting materials, generates pneumatic air/oxygen compression and electricity by the fast kinetic movement of the planing sailing craft with much higher components reliability.
Car Collision Energy Neutralizer
High speed is the biggest factor in deciding the impact extent of a car collision. High speed results in high kinetic energy which in turn results in greater collisions.
Every year millions of people rake their yards each fall; and when finished have piles and piles of leaves that they send to a landfil or that they burn. This is wastefull and unhealthy if burned. My solution is to use the unwanted leaves as a building material.
