Gigabot X: Recycling Plastic via Pellet 3D Printing

Plastic waste pollution is an increasingly prevalent environmental issue around the world. Many companies produce plastic waste through their manufacturing processes, and resource-limited environments - isolated island populations, natural disaster locations, remote operations, and more - continuously bring in plastic products that end up as waste. In parallel to these issues,

Gravity Induced, Buckyball Based Power Plant

The Gravity Induced Power Plant is an electricity generator based on the free-fall (gravity-induced) of capsules loaded with highly magnetized buckminsterfullerene (or buckyball) along a helical tube. The power plant is self-sustained by lifting the capsules by means of magnetic levitation.

Harnessing Pressure, Kinetic or Piezoelectric Energy

Following from an issue of Nature on the harnessing of rain drop energy sometime ago at “Tech Briefs Media 2020”; subsequently, I thought to propose these two related energy ideas that may be useful if you considered them, viz:

1. Pressure from or to seats in vehicles, etc. harnessing and conversion to alternative energy

2. Similarly,

Home Smart Energy

Currently, it is not possible to live without electricity. Our lifestyles influence this resource consumption. Indeed, each one of us with his attitude and mores imposes a certain profile to electrical consumption. This project aims to develop a solution that allows smart remote measurements of electricity consumption.

Homopolar Liquid Vortex Magnetic Chelating Radioactive Particulate Decontamination Device for Fukushima

The present invention is based upon modifications of a Create the Future Design Contest Entry, which I filed on July 1, 2012, titled: “Superconducting Solenoid Liquid Vortex Power and Propulsion.” In the previous invention, fresh or salt water was compelled to vortex flow through the bore of larger diameter, high magnetic field solenoid coil “perpetual room-temperature-superconducting” electromagnets,

Hydrogen Fuel Generation

Located in the tropical waters of the Atlantic would be a vast field of floating solar collectors, providing power for electrodes submerged in the seawater. At the cathodes, hydrogen is collected and piped to compressors and liquified for shipping. The compressors are also powered by the solar collectors.

Hydrogen Generating ORBAGEN

The hydrogen conversion is the classic chicken-egg problem:

Since the infrastructure of the filling stations is not sufficient, few H2-powered vehicles are manufactured and because too few vehicles are bought, there is no incentive to set up filling stations!

As is well known,
