Abstract: An electric power generating system adapted for use in a vehicle including at least one electric generator and one battery; and at least one energy converter for receiving superfluous movement of the vehicle and producing pressure fluid flow from such movement, and a power transmitting means for receiving and changing the fluid flow into rotational power. The power transmitting means transmits rotational power to the electric generator only when stored rotational power reaches a predetermined level. Therefore, the generator is operated by superfluous movement of the vehicle to generate electricity.

Abstract: A system for selectively pivoting a welding mask shutter lens either into an opened or closed position so that between welding operation, the work can be observed directly through the lens window opening with the lens pivoted out of the way; the system including an electro-magnet for pivoting the lens out the window opening, and wiring from the electromagnet extending to a pushbutton on a handle of a welding rod holder so to conveniently operate a switch in an electrical circuit with the electromagnet for attracting an iron bar formed on the frame of the lens.

Abstract: An apparatus mountable on a toilet so to wash and clean an individual's private parts; the apparatus including a rotatable brush powered by water, and the brush additionally spraying water so to wash while the brush gently scrubs; the brush being fully adjustable in position by a handle located alongside the toilet, the brush being movable into a stored, out-of-the-way position between the toilet seat and the bowl when not in use so to allow the toilet for other uses, and the apparatus including a water tank containing an electric heater so to heat the water that washes the person.

Abstract: An energy system which provides the self-propulsion of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes wheels driven by a motor. As the wheels vibrate and bounce due to irregularities in the road surface, the vibrations and bouncing cause a piston to reciprocate within a cylinder to thereby pressurize a fluid. The pressurized fluid drives a mechanical conversion device such as a turbine which in turn operates an electrical generator. The electrical energy produced by the generator charges a battery which in turn drives the motor. The driving force produced by the motor causes the wheels to turn and thereby propell the car. Additional electrical equipment provided as accessories in the vehicle, such as air conditioning, power steering, a heating system, vacuum brakes, etc., can also be coupled to the motor to be driven by the same electrical energy which is generated by the vibration and bounce of the wheels.
