This invention relates to a variable pitch hub for propeller-blades in order to maximize efficiency and output in terms of rotational speed and torque to a wind power driven generator, maximize strong wind survivability for propeller, generator and support-tower, as well as a speed regulating gear.
My idea is to use linear motion technology and controls to power a vehicle, car or truck by incorporating a circular linear motor in to the wheels of the vehicle.
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics Model to Predict Changes in Velocity properties in Stented Carotid Artery
Abstract:
Atherosclerosis is a disease that narrows, thickens, hardens and restructures a blood vessel due to substantial plaque deposit. In the Carotid Artery,

Proposed Airplane Fuel Tank Modification
The basic concept for the modification is a series of pressurized rectangular pouches of blastproof acrylic fabric, such as Kevlar, which are affixed (epoxied?) to the top and bottom outer surfaces of the plane’s wing fuel tanks, as well as on the central fuel tank in the bottom center of the fuselage.
Desalination process is both time consuming and costly. This process will allow input water flow and output water flow to be continues. Requires no heating of the water.
Sept 1: The process of water flow would require nano-robots (nanotechnology) programmed to search out the salt and attach to the salt. With each nano-robot with a magnet property,
The Vehicle Vector Wireless Network (VVWN) is an added option to current GPS navigation units. The VVWN inputs vector data from other VVWN units within its wireless network range, and transmits its own vector data to other vehicles within its range. The main purpose of the system is to calculate potential collisions between vehicles.
At the moment there are two major companies touting IPTV around, AT&T and Verizon with their cable tv products U-Verse and FIOS respectively. But these systems fail to really pull the plug from cable, and utilize the IP protocol that could revolutionize television.
IPTV could be more useful, using a system like Akamai,
Today marks a new era of space commerce. In the 1930s the DC3 enabled effective commercial air services. What will mark a comparable step in this era of space enterprise?
Aircraft that fly from a runway can reach space. Scaled Composites and Orbital Sciences Corporation have demonstrated this. Space tourism favors the comfort and confidence of runway operations.
This device uses heat from the sun, engine, and electrical cords to heat water to steam, which spins turbines to produce electricity. The sun hits a black panel on the hood and reflects heat back up, creating a greenhouse effect. The engine heat rises through the panel and heats the water. Lastly,
