Better side of the transmission of electricity through the HV DC are already proven! Application of DC / DC converters on the existing power grid, enabling translation T & D AC grid - into DC High Voltage Transmision & Distribution grid.
Application of DC / DC converters - transformers, at existing wired installations in the transmission and distribution system,
Isowalk is an intelligent mobility aid designed to replace the walking cane. Unlike the cane - a passive and ergonomically hostile device meant only to keep the user from falling - Isowalk provides active walking assistance that conforms its performance and response to each individual user,
The main idea that you can get the clear energy from the usual sources.
The system allows to generate electricity with the use of the liquid working body, capsule generators,
A “feather-weight”, non-conductive, non-metallic (no wires or metal connections at or near the light-emitting fabric surface), flexible, machine-washable visual display that is embedded into apparel fabric materials via CNC machines.
Wave energy extraction is complex and many device designs have been proposed. All types of sea waves electricity stations are expensive.
This device is simple and can be made by every handy man. The device is suitable for yachts or ocean research vessels. Main part is permanent magnet alternator (Fig. 1), pendulum is attached to rotor shaft,
Wind power seems benign and safe, but there are several problems: bird/bat strikes, noise, vibration, large normal force at the tower top from blade lift, slow adaptation to wind direction changes (and correspondingly large blade stresses), etc. that are all solved here.
Blood pressure is a major indicator of a person’s health and one of the five vital signs to watch. However, unlike other vital signs, abnormal blood pressure can be evidence of a long term illness rather than an immediate one and can be used to predict a cardiovascular disease which is a leading cause of death worldwide.

This design offers a better method for the placement of a shelf. Many past and current methods place the shelf on a bracket where the shelf is either permanently secured or requires timely labor to remove it from the wall. Once the bracket is mounted to the wall, this design allows very easy installation and removal of any shelf,
Electricity generated in our waters and electric vehicles are the only way to American recovery. Energy independence and economic growth while keeping the air and water clean and global warming at a minimum.
