The VTOL aircraft is the ultimate aircraft. It can take anywhere without the use of a runway. Though the helicopter is the most successful VTOL aircraft it operate at relatively low speed. This has called for the development of a conventional aeroplane which can take off an land vertically. In these aircraft, vertical thrust for take off is achieved by tilting the entire wing or engine on which the rotor is mounted. This has made

The Self Sustaining Electro Magnetic Generator is a device that is meant to charge electric car batteries. The concept was to provide consumers with an electric car that would only have to be charged once. The main part of the device is a system of magnets that push off of each other creating electricity. When car battery is 50% empty the generator turns itself on causing the magnets to create power for the battery. While

Universal proprietary water Purifying/conditioning multi media for bottled water
We have developed a very inexpensive and easily operated filter system for the removal of heavy metals, arsenic, mercury, bad tastes and offensive odors. It is basically composed of a composite mixture of metal oxides, carbons, and zeolite multi media that has been processed into nano material suitable for incorporation into inexpensive filter paper. The filter paper has a pore size between 1 to 5 microns

Automobiles will be powered by rechargeable battery technology in the future. However recharging will always be a time consuming procedure. Further the economical aspects also are depending on how the electrical power is generated for recharging. So here, a complete autonomous recharging station is presented. The electrical energy for recharging is gained from the environment by using e.g. wind energy, solar energy or geothermal energy.

A new concept for separation of a reaction mixture that is result of degradation of cumenehydroperoxide. It is founded on the existence of azeotropes between water-cumene and water- alpha-methylstyrene (AMS) with boiling points lower than the boiling point of the azeotrope in the system water-phenol. It permits the separation of the phenol, containing in the acetone stream, to make by means of azetropic rectification instead of chemisorption. The difference between the new and the existing

(a)In the XiXth and XXth centuries several researchers devoted their attention to processes of extracting electricity from the Earth’s field. A brief history of these processes can be found in [1] but their effective accomplishment was practically non-existing due to the (also) non-existing plastic, thin film and photovoltaic technologies [2].

In an emergency, involving the release of Chlorine gas within a populated city environment, the storm water infrastructure can be used for removal of the heavier gas through the use of a master suction system that creates a negative presure and draws the gas from streets to a downwind evacuation and treatment site. Due to the corrosive nature of this gas, rapid removal is essential for human safety and damage to metal items of value.
