Closed-loop Control of Heliostats in Concentrated Solar Power for Electricity and Hydrogen Production

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) uses heliostat mirrors to direct sunlight onto a central collector where heat is converted to electric power. CSP has a significant potential cost advantage over photovoltaics, mirror area being less expensive than photocells.

However, this advantage is offset by the sturdy heliostat construction required for maintaining alignment during daily temperature changes, wind forcing, etc.

Neurofiboptic ™ Control and Sensing Network

This design idea solves the problems of heavy weight and costs in aircraft and vehicle systems design and manufacturing by eliminating thousands of feet of copper wire that power and connect various systems, most EMI, and time and costs with less additive steps of manufacturing. An additional benefit is safety redundancy built in and reduced maintenance.

Cheap Desalination Device Using Roofs of Buildings

There are numerous sources’ of salt water and very limited of fresh water in the world. A lot of different distillers work everywhere but most of them are very expensive and require a lot of energy. We suggest a very cheap distiller with very low consumption of energy. It is cheap because: using very simple technology;

Micro Drone

The illustrated drone is a simple mechanism that combines articulation and side shift to provide adjustable, on-the-go, variable roll, pitch, and yaw.

Past drones have been controlled in several ways, with multi-engine, and counter-rotating blades, for example. Imagine, however,

A Tail-Wagger Airplane

The illustrated airplane tail surface combines articulation and side shift, providing adjustable, on-the-go variable longitudinal control for straight in-runway landings. There is no more correction from flight configuration to ground travel.

Pilots must exercise greater skill and caution in crosswind landings to transition from flight to a landing configuration. Imagine, however,

Patented Ceramic Lubricant

TriboDyn® TRI-EX2 Motor Oils are a patented ceramic lubricant that is attracted to areas of heat & friction. As pressures increase with RPM or load, the special TRI-EX2 lubricants, combined with the active “Ceramic Coating Technology” in the oil, form a self-lubricating “Ceramic Film” in high load & heat areas,
