Every day we consume a lot of energy to heat our homes. The cost of that energy is rising by the year. In order to save money, I offer to use a heating system with together solar collectors. Solar collectors will be installed on the roof and will be connected to the boiler.
As hostile nation-state actors turn to cyber-attacks, they are becoming more strategic. Strategic attacks are those in which an attacker, often a hostile nation-state actor, penetrates a network to gain control of a process, adjusting valves and moving set-points.
Both body massage and bodily exercise of the musculature induce various physical pressures on the venous blood vessels throughout the circulatory system. The human body simultaneously exploits these induced pressures and protects the circulation of the blood using one-way flow valves in the blood vessels which close each time the blood vessel is sufficiently compressed,
The miracle of lightning.
The power of thunder.
I believe that this invention will be superior and beneficial for all humanity by providing sustainable energy. How can lighting provide energy for usage of people? According to the research, the strike of thunder can provide energy which can supply all parts of New Jersey with energy for one generation.
Eccentric Overload Training (EOT) sets and maintains an Eccentric weight that is heavier than the set Concentric weight of an exercise cycle (cycle being lifting/lowering, pulling/releasing, etc.). Many studies demonstrate and confirm the tremendous benefits of EOT over traditional resistance training - faster and greater muscular/tendon/ligament strengthening, reduced "wear and tear" on muscle/tendon/ligament/bone structures,
Kirat is an electric-powered wheelchair with facilities that can be adjusted according to the user’s needs in terms of balance, the level of comfort, and everyday life requirements.

Individual device/appliance backup power unit with Rechargeable battery (BUPURB).
Utilizing a small product package, I see the need for a small (i.e., USB cube, smartphone, or multi plug strip size) and inexpensive ($10) rather than a large centralized generator or large battery unit for powering everything costing $1000's.
This is a Gun/Revolver with an embedded microchip. Which is linked/connected with the mobile phone number of the individual owner which can be real-time traceable like a mobile phone. Need to have tie-ups with mobile service providers.
