The Electron Exciter employs an arc that can ignite the nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases in the air with the result being a bright white light. This light is produced with less than 2,500 watts at the secondary with 13 amps, 3 phase at the primary.
This arc,
Durable, affordable, easy to install. Greatly reduces or eliminates icy buildup on the wiper assembly, improving operator visibility.
In cold weather while the car is in operation, the Temperature Sensor will turn the blades on automatically. Each Ice-E-Liminator draws approximately 1-1.5 amps of current.
The submersible speedboat can be carried assembled by road, rail or ship. The small size, high speed, the use of the water jet, low acoustic, electric, hydrodynamic, thermal and magnetic footprint, the silent planned displacement, with the propulsion system off and consecutive surfacing / diving,
The Plant Air Purifier is a new air cleaning appliance that utilizes the recently discovered air-cleaning capacity of root-associated microbes living synergistically with common houseplants to trap and consume toxins in the air. The research behind this was done By B. C.

A traumatic brain injury is caused by a severe impact such as a blow or jolt to the head that injures the brain. Such impacts may result in concussion or, in extreme cases, death.
The Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute recently developed a research tool — the Daysimeter — for measuring personal circadian light exposures and activity levels. Through use of the Daysimeter and associated software, LRC researchers are able to interpret light as a stimulus to the circadian system,
This system improves automotive safety by directly communicating the status of a driver’s braking level to the driver immediately behind them. If the driver in the car with smart brake lights is just applying light pressure to the brake pedal, only a small group of bright LEDs lights up.
