SunMod Villages consist of 900-1300 S.F. turnkey, LEED standard, multi-use, self-sustainable, energy and satellite based telecommunications (and ISP) equipped, modular, portable community, residential, commercial and industrial buildings with hydrogen cell backup and local grid. SunMods are self-contained with all power, electrical connections, telecommunications, digital and plumbing installed and sealed at the factory.
Consists of LED array and driver circuit that uses novel idea to lower power usage over standard LED lamps, simplifies manufacturing, can be applied to medical theraphy LED lamps in all its light spectrum, can be applied to several lighting products, simplified driver circuitry eliminating complex electronic drivers with simpler more cost effective design.
See picture,
There are a lot of old buildings out there that waste a lot of energy. My idea for creating jobs is to insulate them to levels previously unheard of. The concept is to use vacuum insulation panels (VIP) instead of traditional insulators like foam, fiberglass batts, and the like.
Weed trimmers cause more heartburn than any other garden tool. Depending upon centrifugal force (CF) to extend the filament when you bump the head on the ground, if you let the string get too short, there isn’t much mass for the CF to work on. Also, as dirt and grass gets into the head,
Supercritical combustion is a new concept of combustion technology aiming at reducing the fuel consumption and pollutant emission levels of a diesel engine. Supercritical combustion is a controlled detonation technique in which the fuel will be introduced into the combustion chamber in its supercritical state,
This entry provides a suspended track cargo train system, more specifically, an H.O. scale suspended R/C cargo train system. In its preferred embodiment, the system includes a plurality of straight and curved track sections; floor stands to suspend the track sections, a train, which comprises at least one drive vehicle and at least one cargo car,
Globally, more than 3 billion people depend on biomass to meet their basic energy needs for cooking, boiling water, lighting, and space-heating. The use of these solid fuels on open ?res or inef?cient stoves results in large amounts of a range of health-damaging pollutants, often under conditions of poor household ventilation. It primarily affects developing countries,
The Trekr Dry-swim Machine© is designed to replicate the motion of doing the “doggie paddle” stroke during its use. It exercises all muscle groups at the same time, and provides the same benefits obtained by swimming in water. The design of the angle of the user could be varied from full upright to the prone (shown) positions.
The swimming pool is an American icon for summer fun. Leaving the house and the pool unattended can sometimes lead to unpleasant surprises. I have had a few myself, which led me to develop the swimming pool pump controller. Based on my own experiences,
Call it the Swirl Drive. The purpose of the idea is to improve on the Mecanum-type drive system by increasing traction and stability (and utilizing more off-the-shelf components), while retaining its simplicity, maneuverability and control system.
How the idea works: Start with a motor-driven turntable rotating parallel with the floor.
