M21

The Maz21 energy concept evolved from the water web concept of 2018 (). It seeks to generate power in a cost effective way. It utilizes kinetic water turbines fixed in a series inside a 80cm internal diameter polyethylene tube. The whole system will have 4 kinetic water turbines which shall be connected to form a complete cycle.

Maxwell’s Demon Realized by Brownian Motion

Mr. Richard Phillips Feynman, a famous genius scientist, introduced a Brownian ratchet in his book “The Feynman Lectures on Physics” (see Figure 1). The Brownian ratchet is also referred to as Feynman’s ratchet, Feynman’s thermal ratchet and the like.

The Brownian ratchet is a submicron-scale micromachine in which components move randomly by Brownian motion.

Multi-Layered Solar Panel Charging Station For Electric Vehicles

This idea is for a multi-layer of solar panel shade for electric vehicles (EV). Most solar panel charging station design uses a single layer of solar panels as shade roof for electric vehicles during charging. But a single layer of solar panel shade roof has a limited power rating during charging. To overcome this,

Multilayered Roof

For centuries, we covered our buildings with a heavy roof that traps heat, which makes it necessary to use Air Conditioning as well as extensive lighting for being so Dark.

Now, with this Multilayered Roof, the heat is dissipated by the wind through the many layers, and because the material is semi-transparent,

Neighborhood Resilience Centers: How to Improve Response to Natural Disasters and Cyber Attacks

Our design idea, Neighborhood Resilience Centers (NRCs), solves the problem of access to power and communications following a disaster. Whether natural (earthquake, hurricane) or man-made (cyber or physical attacks on the electric grid), the lack of widely-available resilient energy and communication services complicates and lengthens recovery efforts, increases stress and suffering in the affected population,
