Abstract: A portable chilled air respirator device is used to treat air. Ambient air is drawn into an inlet of the device. The air is passed through a filter to filter the air. The air is cooled and dehydrated, such as by being passed over a reactant to create an endothermic reaction. The air is then secondarily cooled and rehydrated, such as by a secondary endothermic release of energy in an evaporative process, before being directed through the outlet of the device.

Abstract: The method for creating energy sources for a vehicle drive system includes burning an air fuel mixture in an internal combustion engine and discharging the burned air fuel mixture through an exhaust system of the vehicle. Steam is created utilizing heat of the exhaust system. The steam is passed through a generator, which supplies mechanical or electrical power to an appropriate drive system of the vehicle. Hydrogen can be created utilizing the steam and a catalyst substrate. Wind turbines mounted to the vehicle can also supply electricity to the vehicle as air passes through the turbines due to movement of the vehicle.

Abstract: A hand-held disc storage, deployment and retrieval device includes a housing defining an interior cavity adapted to store a media disc therein. A manually-actuated slider is disposed within the interior cavity and movable along guide tracks formed in the housing between a disc deployment position and a disc retrieval position. A manually-actuated lever mechanism is operably connected to the slider for deploying and retrieving the disc from the housing. Disc tracks and a ramp are formed in the housing for guiding the disc into and out of the interior cavity. Multiple housings may be interlocked in stacking relationship to one another. The disc may also be locked within the housing, or a case provided for locking multiple housings and discs to one another within the case.
