Orbital Magnetic Speed Change

This design idea is a speed change mechanism that mainly brings the possibility of high efficiency, than avoiding power losses, usual characteristic of mechanical transmissions. For example in the car industry, the automatic transmission and the associated drivetrain usually consume about 20 percent of the engine's power and a manual transmission takes about 16 percent of the power.

Photoassisted Electrolysis

To date, hydrogen generation for fuel cells has required electricity generated by burning fossil fuels or inefficient solar cells. This invention (US Patent 6,843,903) enables electrolysis of water using the energy of solar photons to partially replace the energy of the applied current.

While most solar photons do not have the energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen,

Project 180 Turn Around: 2015 Rebuild New Orleans

Project 180 Turn Around: 2015 Rebuild New Orleans is a project that interested me when Brad Pitt devised a restructuring housing program to help those who lost in New Orleans. It’s been 7 years since the devastating events of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Not much was done to prevent and repair the incident by all levels of government.

PVC Materials: Ecological, Health, Chemical and Fire Safety in Their Manufacture, Use and Disposal

All of us know about the potential danger connected with processing of a polymeric waste, and nevertheless all of us use a lot of polymers! The problem of polymers utilization is especially actual for PVC as a result of PVC burning dioxins release into the atmosphere - global ecotoxicants which split poorly and collect both in a human body,

Rabei Energetic Cycles

As it is widely known, a Rankine cycle is a closed-circuit thermodynamic cycle whose specific feature is to involve a phase change (liquid/vapor) of a working fluid (WF). My invention relates to a novel concept, RABEI ENERGETIC CYCLES (REC), whose specific feature is to NOT INVOLVE PHASE CHANGE of the WF,

RASP®-Reduced Agricultural Storage Program

India and other developing economies continue to face crippling hunger and poverty rates. Despite the consistent production of agricultural products, the post-harvest loss rate for fruits and vegetables hovers around 40% undermining the ability of local farmers to feed their countrymen and develop exports.
