This is a proposal to use a water wheel floating on a river to generate clean electrical energy. Unlike solar and wind generators, rivers flow 24 hours a day.
A water wheel can be scaled up or down. The surface speed of rivers varies between about 3-8 MPH.
This describes an efficient water heater that uses microwave radiation to heat a coiled water pipe. The radiation is contained in a metal cavity, painted inside with microwave-reflective paint, similar to that used in home microwave cooking ovens, and on stealth aircraft.
The objective of this project is to maximize the efficiency of LED flashlights. A 60° field-of-illumination LED is positioned just below the barrel, and is aimed at the off-axis parabola, which reflects all of the light in a focused beam. No light is wasted. If desired,
