This new-technology electricity generator functions uniquely according to known principles of electromagnetic induction, and requires no external power or fuel. It is patented (US 8,847,720). The power output depends upon the frequency of the inducing current, making a very small generator extremely powerful. It is modular and scalable; as there is no fuel,
Identity theft is one of the most commited and most detrimental crimes being committed today. It’s also one of the fastest growing crimes in the world. Once the criminals have your information they can destroy everything you worked for all your life.
The knapsack sprayer is a device widely used due to its low cost and wide applicability.
