The WaterNet

The Waternet (How to prevent the world from a water war)

(English is not my native language.)

Because of global warming, it will become more and more difficult to get pure water. The polar ice liquefaction, the evaporation of tropical seas will generate more floods and water pollution. All of these will cause more trouble due to toxic water as illness, drought,

Thermo-Electronic Battery

ABSTRACT

The Rechargeable Therm-o-Electronic Battery

A device that looks just like but weighs less than a normal battery of its size, charges just like a battery but whose output is programmable within the dynamic range of the device.

Thin Film Photovoltaic Dynamic Wind Turbine Blade

Thin Film Photovoltaic Dynamic Wind Turbine Blade

Innovation

The innovation consists of wind turbine blades that dynamically optomize peak performance of a wind turbine with the use of thin film photovoltaic technologies, solar energy and a computer controlled analysis program of wind conditions. Wind turbine blades would be constructed of light weight material with a carbon fiber covering.

Thin Film Tubular Thermoelectric Generator

The thermoelectric effect is a reversible effect that allows the direct conversion between thermal energy and electric energy, without any intermediate step. This effect plays a key role in sensing, in generating electricity and cooling. The first examples of thin film thermoelectric devices are currently entering the market.

Top Down Data Fusion

Today, data is collected globally from multiple sources via GPS and other handheld devices, stored in the cloud and left to the user to figure out the value of this data, and what to do with it. To create data value requires a data fusion model that consolidates these data silos into one `digital cloud platform,

Transparent Aluminum "Slam Dome" Nuclear Safety Apparatus

THE “APPARATUS FOR THE CONTAINMENT OF NUCLEAR MELTDOWN DEBRIS” depends in part upon a unique corrugated Transparent Aluminum alloy “Slam-Dome” that is mounted over a super-plastic-lined, 16-sided, reinforced concrete, 1700 foot diameter circumferential “trench-subway” foundation that is excavated 30 feet deep and 20 feet wide around a conventional nuclear fission power plant.

Turbo-expander

WDL has designed & developed a turbo-expander. This is used in a boosted IC engine to reduce the charge air temperature below ambient temperature. This in turn improves engine performance, fuel economy and emissions.

To be effective, a turbo-expander needs a high effciency turbine.

Underwater Nuclear Power Plant

We all know the disasters generated by nuclear power plants like the Chernobyl Disaster or Fukushima recently.

Yet people stress the fact the plants are safe but by recent standards they are not 100% fault proof.

What I propose then is to build a nuclear power plant under water!

Unlimited Cheap Clean Energy

There is much talk about wind and solar, but they are both intermittent, unpredictable, and expensive. The real solution to the energy and pollution problem is geothermal. It was determined in 1980 that if we could instantly switch over all our energy needs to geothermal, and continue to increase our usage at the present rate,
