Rapid Terraforming of Hostile Terrestrial Bodies

On of the main obstacles to increased space exploration is the lack of nearby habitable worlds. Mars atmosphere is less than 1% of Earths, while Venus' is 92x denser, making both worlds uninhabitable despite their agreeable surface gravities and within the margins solar habitable zone. Making these planets habitable would allow for human colonization, decreasing population on Earth,

Re-coil method

This method is somewhat similar to a machine gun, in terms of using re-coil method to generate force ( power).

A cylindrical heavy object is placed on the circular track which has pressure points . This heavy mass will be tilted to an angel where it becomes very easy to rotate it with very less force .

Realistic Solar Energy Implementation

A cleanest form of energy for our planet also renews itself daily challenging efficiency rates i.e. energy output compared to the solar energy input which has been uncommercially low now changing as new materials yield substantial improvements. Consequently interest is now quickly growing for solar energy as a serious alternative source of energy. Manufacturers of solar energy panels,

Rear Airbag for Trucks

Trucks are essential for transportation and economics. On the other hand the fuel consumption of trucks especially heavy trucks has not been reduced as strong as compared to passenger cars in the last decades.

One reason for the high fuel consumption of trucks is given by their edged design, which causes a high aerodynamic drag.

Recoil Saw

Recoil saw

Using a hand saw requires repeated push and pull strokes. Normally this involves either: limiting the force of each stroke, or making a separate effort to stop each stroke.

The recoil devices are simply an impact bar, attached to 1 or more springs, attached to the hand saw.

When using the recoil saw,

Reconcile

Traditionally, shoes are purchased by the single pair and expected to be durable for a year or more. After the traditional shoe life cycle the shoes are thrown away with the rest of the landfill waste.

The reconcile concept changes the way we think about our casual footwear and it's environmental impact.

Recyclable Portable Container

There are three problems surrounding traditional agriculture:

1) It’s a direct contributor to obesity epidemic; children’s resistance to eating greens is a normal body response to flavorless produce.

2) Transportation from hundreds of miles away.

3) Low yields per unit of water and energy add to global starvation and wars.

Reduce Surface tension+freezing point of water

Recent scientific studies have verified that the surface tension and freezing point of water can be lowered by negative electrostatic charge.All metals , minerals, proteins and amino acids never go into solution; they are held in suspension as minute particles by negative electrostatic charge on colloids- a little understood application of Zeta Potential.

Reducing Oil Reliance Via LIM and IPT Technologies

Current surface transportation technology contributes to over two-thirds of US petroleum consumption and nearly one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. Measures to decrease this reliance on petroleum will improve national security and decrease global climate change. Electric vehicles (EVs) offer such an opportunity, but challenges with battery capacity, rate of power delivery, and recharging requirements limit vehicle range,

Regeneration of Automobile Kinetic Energy Loss in Deceleration

Presented system for regenerating automobile kinetic energy loss in deceleration uses a piston engine that as a compressor charges a reservoir and as an engine augments the main engine on acceleration. Effectiveness exceeds that of electric power absorption systems because energy and maximum power absorption are greater while the size, weight and cost are much lower. For example,
