Abstract: The ship body of the present invention comprises at least two levels. One is an upper level that comprises a floatable body. The other is a lower level. The lower level is intended to be submerged under water in normal use. The lower level comprises at least two parallel, essentially vertical walls, a floor, and a ceiling connecting the at least two parallel essentially vertical walls. The front end and a rear end of the lower level are open to allow water to enter through the front end and exit through the rear end of the lower level.

Abstract: The method of interrupting a tornado comprises the step of locating an area of ongoing tornadic activity. Ultra-cold substance is then released at low altitudes in the area of ongoing tornadic activity. In preferred embodiments, the ultra-cold substance is delivered to the area of ongoing tornadic activity by an airplane. The ultra-cold substance is preferably liquid nitrogen.

Abstract: The invention describes and claims an apparatus and method of maintaining cleanliness of the thermometer storage case. The apparatus is an improved elongated end-loading storage case for thermometers. The improvement comprises two or more elongated sections of the case. Each section comprises a connection edge, an insertion tip, and a distal tip. The elongated sections of the case are detachably connected to each other to form a thermometer storage case that opens up to reveal the inner surface of the case for easy inspection and cleaning. The case comprises a fastener for fixating the case in the assembled case body position. The method of cleaning the thermometer storage case comprises the steps of unfastening and opening the case, inspecting and sanitizing the inside surface of the case, and then reconnecting and fixating the elongated sections to form the thermometer storage case.

Abstract: A versatile watercraft of the present invention comprises a base wing, a C-wing, and preferably a plurality of vertical stabilization knives. The base wing extends horizontally from the right side of the watercraft to the left side of the watercraft, and longitudinally, for at least a third of the length of the watercraft. The C-wing, extends above the base wing. The C-wing is comprised of at least two essentially vertical walls and an essentially horizontal top. The watercraft also comprises at least one propulsion device. In the preferred embodiments, a plurality of vertical stabilization knives extends vertically below the base wing and extends longitudinally for at least a third of the length of the watercraft.

Abstract: A flexible heating mat is provided. The mat comprises a plurality of sections, connected to each other by arch ribs. The arch ribs form a flexible, preferably raised, ceiling and a closed space above the precipitation-covered surface. Each section comprises a tube, capable of conducting a melting substance therethrough and dissipating it through at least one jet for melting of ice and/or drying of moisture. In other embodiments, the mat comprises at least one snow-mashing member. The mat may further comprise a pump for pumping out the melt and/or recycling the melting medium.
