By reducing energy use in the home, money can be saved on ever-increasing electricity bills, and the effects of global warming can be reduced. In order for a consumer to reduce the amount of energy they use, they must first know what they are currently using. Energy monitoring devices attempt to empower the user with the knowledge that can help them reduce their energy costs, and its environmental impact. EnergyMate is the next generation of

It is about how effectively one can use the law of perpetual motion. although the picture shows a car , it can also be used as a train if the ratio and proportion of the track and the vehicle is changed.
It basically works like this:
the vehicle starts moving from a top most point (station). it continues to move in a steep-slope fashion, thus gaining speed as it goes down and using this gained

The ECOGON sundial roofing system blocks the sun between 10:00am and 2:00pm, while collecting and storing its radiant energy (via solarium, rheostats and heliostats) for electrical production, saving thousands of dollars per year.
Construction is composed of energy efficient pre-fabricated insulated cement panels resistant to mold and mildew.
To reduce consumption of non-renewable fuels we coupled geothermal heating and cooling with a solarium, and active solar systems.
Water recovery is integrated in our Patented design.

White Paper Grail Pneumatic Two-Stroke Engine
This is a proposed clean emissions pneumatic two-stroke engine that does not have normal Two-Stroke cross contamination of oil and fuel (oil and fuel are not mixed).
Intake occurs when piston moves up by creating a vacuum under Piston Check Valve (6) (closed) and Piston (8) within the Engine Crankcase (16), (One-way) Intake Reed Valve & Throttle Plate (9) (IRVTP 9 opens) allow outside ambient air to enter Engine Crankcase (16). Simultaneously

The Parasitic attachment described below is a generic solution which can be adapted to fit any chimney/chimneys, to reduce pollution and create a bio-fuel bi-product by using algae based bio-reactors.
Bio-reactors are tubes of transparent material which process emissions such as smoke. The emissions enter glass tubes and pass through an algae and nutrient enriched water based solution. The algae uses the carbon dioxide from the emissions along with sunlight and water to produce sugars

‘KRANK’ the handle for a minute, get 20 to 30 minutes of bright light.
This manual L.E.D fixture uses the principle of magnetic induction. Every time you turn the ‘krank’ a magnet surrounded by copper coil agitates producing sufficient voltage to power the L.E.D.s that’ll light-up your space. Its form was inspired by the old hand mechanical drill we all had in our homes way back when. Its purpose is to be a home fixture

This is an innovative idea that uses wave energy along with reverse osmosis to produce desalinated water and elecricity. This plant should be constructed near the shore where the waves are strong throughout the year.
It consists of a chamber seperated into two by a semi-permeable membrane. At one end of chamber-1 two metal plates are connected to both sides of hydraulic or pneumatic pistons and this chamber stores the saline water. This chamber also has

I invented a VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine) design that needs a lot of work but it appears to be a good basic concept for mechanically controlling moving blades. The thing that appeals to me about VAWTs is that they only need a support structure 1/2 as tall and overall they are 2/5 as tall to be expose to an equal amount of effective wind area. I believe they can be cost effective because they
