Forest Waste to Hydrocarbons

EnerSysNet Canada Inc. (ESN) will bring the factory to the forest by developing a network of, mobile energy conversion (MEC) systems to produce infrastructure-compatible aviation, gasoline and diesel range liquid hydrocarbons from timber harvest trimmings and sawmill waste. Because this approach utilizes sustainable lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks “in situ” thereby drastically reducing the logistics expense,

H.E.R.- Uses for Waste Emission Gases

Problem:
CO2 emissions are a problem that cannot be ignored. Despite worldwide attempts at legislation and organization, experts predict that emissions will continue to climb 2% per year going forward. Coal and other hydrocarbon plants that generate power are some of the largest contributors of atmospheric CO2. State-sponsored resolutions to decrease CO2 emissions have proved costly.

H2N- Human to Nanogrid: Utilization of Human Muscle Power for Producing Electricity

During exercise on any gym equipment, all the human power is lost into the environment. The Human to Nanogrid (H2N) model utilizes human muscle power to produce electricity and then transmit this power to energy storage systems like a battery or a bank of supercapacitors or a hybrid storage system. Further, when several of such machines are connected,

H2O to H2 and O!

I'm working on an older technology used in early nuclear submarines. They had to break salt water (abandon of it in the oceans) to feed the crew with fresh O2 for months without surfacing. I use this technology to re-fuel marine engines saving them some money.

High-Speed Transportation

Air resistance is the biggest obstacle to achieving high speeds. My method is based on the fact that the wagon is in the tailwind. The air is transported as fast as the carriage travels. The carriage travels in a rectangular channel. (It can be round but then you get less load space.
