Abstract: An energy module comprising an energy absorber; and a mooring system, comprising a wing-shaped polymer shell attached to the energy absorber, the wing-shaped polymer shell designed to utilize the force of a passing current to create a downward force and thereby reduce any upward motion in the energy module; and a mooring cable housed inside the wing-shaped polymer shell and anchored to maintain the energy module in a fore and aft and a side-to-side position to provide stability, and to negate a rotational force on the energy module.

Abstract: An improved tidal and river energy converter having a semi-submerged device designed to harvest energy from the tidal and river sites. Each device is connected to other like devices to form an interconnected array of tidal and river energy devices that are anchored to the shore at right angles to the prevailing tidal and river current. Each device is composed of a supporting floatation hull attached to a submerged strut supporting an air compressor driven by a slow rotating propeller. The air compressor is connected through a streamlined mooring system to the other air compressors in the array and those in turn are connected to a high pressure line leading underwater to an onshore air turbine electric generator connected to the local power grid.

Abstract: An ultra safe, low cost, ultra-low emissions automobile providing high survivability in case of an accident, the automobile having a cold molded engineered ceramic monocoque inner chassis body, and a stylized outer body encasing the inner body, the outer body being attached to the inner body. The automobile is constructed such that the inner chassis body is made up of at least two separately molded parts, and the two molded parts are joined together by self-aligning pin and hole combinations, each such combination including a pin projecting from one of the molded parts and a mating hole on the adjacent molded part. The molded parts of the inner body and each pin and mating hole combination are secured together by super glue. The inner body is shaped to accommodate a cockpit module, has a forward nose cell, and comprises a mass of structural plastic foam within the nose cell forming a collision bulkhead.
