Problem
In the streets of cities, many silent scooters, electric vehicles appeared. Sometimes silent vehicles, including bicycles, move through pedestrian zones. At the same time, there is a risk that these vehicles can be scattered from behind to a pedestrian. Not all pedestrians can hear that some object is following them at a high speed.
Benefits
A photosensitive sensor.
Problem:
On the ocean coast, in hot countries, there may not be enough drinking water.
Benefits:
Creating an additional source of drinking water without using electric energy. The use of the energy of ocean tides and castings.

Air strippers are used for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOC), gasoline range organics (GRO) and chlorinated organic compounds from water. The process involves high air to water contact by forcing air through contaminated process water, groundwater or surface water which allows the volatile contaminants to strip out of the liquid stream.
It is important in today’s modern age of technology to have pioneers push forward to reach greater achievements. The pioneer must have a vision, determination and not be easily discouraged by lack of project funding or criticism. Without great thinkers whose vision was before their time, where would our current technology stand.
