Ensure Interoperability of the Residential Electronic Devices Using Wireless Hook Modules

An intelligent building has the ability to monitor its indoor and outdoor environment and control the installed systems (e.g. air-conditioning, ventilation, heating) for ensuring the occupancies comfort level with minimum energy consumption. There are different solutions of building automation existing on the market nowadays, and most of them are based on wired communication. Even so,

Field Evaporation Assistance

This invention would assist farmers recover parts of their fields that have flooded. Often, only pumps will drain low lying areas, but these are capital intensive and energy intensive. This idea would consist of a metal framework that has a cloth or plastic mesh stretched across it. Water would soak into the lower part, submerged in the flood water,

Free Energy Home of the Future

My design began with trying to find a way to build a home that uses wind energy to produce its own electric power, even in a low wind speed locale. Due to my background in farming and construction, I began looking at round building structures such as a silo (i.e., a vertical cylinder),

Free Sphere Rotor Peizo-Electric Energy Harvester

This Energy Harvester is unique by exploiting the energy of angular momentum and gravity through the vortex created by water draining in a vessel and capturing this energy with peizo-electric materials, either in cantilever or radial form. This module can be stacked to produce greater storage capabilities or scaled up for greater output.

Gasoline from Carbonated Water H2CO3 -> C8H18

This idea uses ultrasonic molding along with magnetic and electrical control systems that produce the ionization levels at the proper positions in a molecular liquid, and then controlling the magnetic moments to disassemble "carbonated water" H2CO3 and reassemble into C8H18 "gasoline"...

We all know how much gasoline affects the economy, and if we

had cheaper gas,
