Self Powered Electricity Generation System
This system is consists of a fly wheel and a pulley connected together by a belt. As the fly wheel stores energy, it will increase the torque of motor. The fly wheel is powered by an electric motor. The wheel drives the pulley that is connected to an electric generator. A part of the electricity generated will be transferred back to the motor (driving the wheel) and the remaining power can be used to operate any ...
Implementable Multi-Component Solution to Capture and Contain Oil and Gases Escaping from Fractured Vertical Pipes on Underwater Oil Drilling Platforms
The state of the art solution proposed herein involves the introduction of components made from 2 newly-described, patent-pending crystalline alloys, which compose a multi-sectional pre-fabricated alloy girder-pin frame, which surrounds the entire oil platform (from the vertical level of the platform, all the way down to the mud of the ocean floor). Surrounding this tall cylindrical girder-pin frame, a vertical outer sleeve barrier created by a pair of lap-folded, double-layered, oil impermeable, alloy-fiber and alloy-cable-reinforced cloth sheets, contain all gases and oil escaping within the base of the girder-frame. As the oil and gas rise within this cylindrical containment, ...
RollerRatchet
The three most popular hand tools used by the human race are the hammer, screw driver and ratchet wrench. Sales for these tools increase annually due to their universal appeal and usefulness. Tool sales in 2010 were $15.5B in the US and $43B worldwide according to the Freedonia Report on Power and Hand Tools.
The ratchet is the ideal tool for torqueing or removing a fastener and saves a great deal of time and labor. Current ratchet technology relies on a system of gears to rotate in either direction and allows the tool to remain in contact with the ...
Desktop CNC Electroforming Machine
Classical machining operations largely fall into the "subtractive manufacturing" category - operations that remove material from a solid billet to form the desired part. In recent decades, however, new forms of "additive manufacturing" have become available. In these cases, a CNC machine is used to add material to the workpiece to build up the desired features on the part. Examples include selective laser sintering (SLS), fused depositional modeling (FDM), and stereolithography. All of these techniques are limited in that they are largely only able to form parts from thermoplastics and resins. These techniques have historically required expensive and complex ...
Economical Pulsejet Engine for Civil Aerospace
The MAJX Aerospace Powerplant is an airbreathing open cycle jet engine employing valveless, high frequency impulse reaction technology.

Solar Generation - Output Smoothing
The intermittent nature of solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation creates a considerable barrier to relying on it as a source of consistent energy. Solar intermittency and power fluctuations vary greatly over the course of a day, in time intervals ranging from seconds to minutes.
To address this problem, NanoTune is working to modify solar panels to store small amounts of energy and be able to provide consistent levels of electrical power regardless of any variations in solar intensity. This will also relieve the need for other forms of costly backup generators that usually burn fossil fuels and have slow ...
Dry Sponge Cleaner for Hot Soldering Iron Tips
This invention relates to an improved method of cleaning the tips of soldering irons. Soldering irons require repeated cleaning in between each soldering process so that the hot tip is free from accumulated solder, flux and other substances as this otherwise affects the quality and speed of soldered joints. The currently available methods of cleaning the tip rely on a water-wetted sponge. The hot soldering iron tip is cleaned by briefly rubbing the soldering tip on the wetted sponge. This action causes the excess solder to rub off as it rapidly solidifies from being cooled by the water component. ...
Mini Combo Turbine: 120 mpg Automobile
To make a super-efficient environmentally-friendly engine, one would like to utilize two processes where the waste of the first process becomes the fuel of the second process.
A gas turbine is highly efficient because it burns fuel at high temperatures and because it maintains a constant speed at its most fuel efficient velocity. Because of this, it exhausts huge amounts of waste heat. A typical automotive combustion engine cannot exceed 25% efficiency because of the nature of the four stroke engine. A gas turbine typically achieves about 32% efficiency.
A steam turbine utilizes a boiler to superheat water into ...
HHO Hydroxy Test Setup
HYDROXY (HHO) WaterFuelCell EVALUATION TEST SETUP
Using water as a clean economical fuel source has been the dream of mankind for centuries and it now appears this dream has become reality.
On-demand fracturing of liquid water (H2O) to release its Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) components into a combustible gaseous form can employ a variety of methods and techniques. One such technique was pioneered by Stanley Meyer back in the 1980s using a method whereby simple tap water, without additives, is subjected to high voltage pulses within a stainless steel tubular type cell reactor.
Other pioneers, Tay-Hee Han and ...

Tangerang Selatan, BANTEN INDONESIA
Jun 30, 2011
This simple equipment is designed to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness level regarding time and material spent in tire manufacturing processes.
In current textile plies knitwork stage as initial process to make casing plies, there is a lot of longitude tire cords where each of them have diameters 5 times larger than the latitude with approximately 10 meters length.
Those wasted longitude tire cords could be reprocessed by tire cord splitting machine in several steps to produce a number of latitude tire cords were ready to knitted, such as counter spinning, cleavage stage (using high precision cutting tools), etc.
...Better Way to Install Electric Water Pump
Water is an essential commodity for life on Earth. Drinking water is supplied to people living in urban areas from the major and minor water supply schemes. Most of those living in rural areas pump water into the overhead tanks from their own wells of at least 1m in diameter. These wells are located close to the households and are not covered to allow sunlight to disinfect water to some extent and to get water aerated by direct contact with air.
Leaves falling into the wells and the clay particles and heavy metals reaching the wells with recharging water ...

Bog Master
The “Bog Master” snorkel boot was developed to enhance navigation through swampy mud such as encountered in underground and open-pit mines, dairy and hog farms, wetlands, etc., by foiling the grip of boot-sucking sludge. The purpose was to retain the unencumbered qualities of the boot while providing a potentially life-saving advantage of not “bogging down” in the mud through a multiport vacuum-break sole design. A snorkel/pipe maintains an airway (vacuum vent) and conducts the air to the area of greatest-sensed vacuum, namely the ball of the foot and heel. Check valves are an absolute necessity—their location being most advantageous ...

CatOne
Rudder-less Autonomous Unmanned Surface Vessel
In order to be actually autonomous, small unmanned surface vessels need to avoid getting caught by floating objects (algae, plastic bags etc.). CatOne is a family of multi-purpose catamaran-robots aimed at performing, in total autonomy or under remote control, a large spread of missions. They are proposed either as an alternative to boats with onboard drivers/operators or as a replacement/complement of networks of non-garrisoned, measurement fixed stations.
One of the main peculiarities of these (patented) tools is the electrical propulsion/guidance system, based on two aerial propellers, the only moving components of the system. ...
