Throughout recent history there were several attempts to build Jules Verne's vision of a space cannon, from Krupp's wartime Paris Gun as a weapon to the 60's Harp project as a space launch system.In recent decades the SHARP light gas gun and the current successor Quicklaunch project are all still unable to affordably and reliably achieve their goal.
After using the toilet we normally wash our hands. Before taking a shower, we often use the toilet. Before washing, we commonly allow the hot water to run in the sink or tub until it warms up, producing unnecessary waste.
This system works as a straw. When you put the finger at the straw’s upper end, the liquid does not drop because of the air pressure. Fig 1 presents the system at quiet state. We organize the set so it takes the lesser space on board. The entire set (missile, piston,
This is a laptop.
Getting into more detail, this is a mockup of a personal device or laptop that is designed with the general idea of suiting to each person's different wants and needs. By looking at the success of many products like the iPhone,
The human power tractor allow a man or several to move very large weights. A solid back axle with two 64" tractor tires and a 16" gear. A gear the size of the tractor tire drives it -- this is driven by a 12" gear on thee same axle with a 121" gear.

We are seeing a tremendous increase in efficiency of vehicles by using diesel and electricity in a hybrid configuration.
Perhaps this is time to combine the natural gas many have available at our home and which is a produce if the USA, for home power. (Not in a fuel cell the price is too high still.
Some years ago a design student solicited help for a class project to design the bicycle of the future. He needed a new propulsion system that would allow new design freedoms.
I found this challenge very exciting.
I proposed eliminating the mechanical chain and gearing system with electronics.
This machine is based off of electrolysis that has been a known format of extracting hydrogen. We know about electrolysis and how it works. The question is have we done all that we can. I propose a different way of thinking about the process.
With today's society basing all new advancements and technologies on renewable energy, clean energy and energy efficiency, "going green" is the new future.
Hydrogen is the most abundant resource on Earth so implementing this as a new fuel will greatly benefit our environment in numerous ways.
