Electroscope/ESD Wrist Band

I have devised an Electroscope/ESD Device that detects valent electrons, and then "drains" the user of any differential voltage. This device should be used when working on electronics, in effect to show the user of any electric fields that might exist, along with eliminating the static charge. Previous versions only mitigated valent electrons,

Eliminate Leak Paths/Reduce Failure Modes for Rocket Motors

Rockets utilized by NASA, etc. utilize an antiquated ignitiion system, requiring a chain of events to occur to obtain ignition. (Safe-and-Arm device to rotate to "arm," electric impulse given, ignites propellant pellets, which ignite initiator propellant grain, which ignites the igniter propellant grain, which ignites the motor propellant grain.

Elpipes: Critical Enabling Technology for a Supergrid

Elpipes are polymer-insulated underground HVDC conductors based on low cost extruded metal conductors. Elpipes are designed for higher efficiency than is practical for overhead power lines. For a 325-800kV DC elpipe, we have selected a design basis of 1% loss per 1000 km, about three times better than an overhead 800kVDC line,

Embedded Wear Sensor

High temperature and high mechanical stress harsh environments can cause wear and erosion on exposed surfaces of critical components. Few sensing devices or methods are capable of performing intrinsic wear measurements, particularly in real-time and in situ. A fiber optic sensor has been developed that is capable of measuring real-time in situ regression,

Energy Harvester for Insulin Pump Users

It appears that the medical products presently available to patients lack a critical energy source.

This is very true for Insulin Pump wearers. If the batteries should go bad, there is no backup available until the user can get new ones.
