Solar Controlled Ventilation

Wintergardens and many other buildings run hot during summer time. If there is no control, it might be rather hot in the rooms, if sun burns down.

The invention is not really big, but it works fine: if the sun shines, the sun produces some electrical energy by a small photovoltaic panel.

Solar Engine

All regions the world over with high temperature weather are suffering from consumed power by air conditioners, where this consumed power is localized in a compressor. This design is generated to solve this problem.

It is a simple solar collector that is made of metal with good conductivity and coated with a black color to collect more sunlight.

Solar Turbine

Solar Turbines are a self-contained system for utilizing environmentally available radiant energy to provide a new source of electricity. The lightweight device relies on a 19th-century concept that uses 21st-century technology. As a renewable source of energy, the Solar Turbine can generate electricity for ground-based units or on spacecraft.

Solution to the Death of Moore’s Law

The first classical transistor was invented at Bell Labs in 1947, which gave rise to the electronics industry of the 20th century. However, Moore’s law – which has described the rapid technological developments of this industry – will soon come to an end. Once the features of the transistor hardware are reduced in length to approximately ten atoms across,
