  • Patent number: 10370261
    Abstract: The improved liquid transportation and desalination system transports seawater or other saline liquids through a piped distribution system with essentially no moving parts by relying on MHD principles. A fluid pump device comprised of high-strength permanent magnets forming chambers through which the liquid passes and inter-chamber opposing electrode plates with an applied DC potential provide the magnetic flux density and electric current for generating the Lorentz forces acting on the liquid. The fluid pump device may be combined with a desalination filtration device for provision of fresh water near the end of the distribution line without the need for a largescale treatment plant. Desalination/filtration occurs through use of nano-porous graphene and/or carbon nanotube media.

  • Patent number: 9957157
    Abstract: A new approach to fabricating regularly patterned nano-scale structures, by self assembly of the structures is disclosed, where a pattern of nano-lines are deposited on a substrate and nano-structures are grown by self assembly in regions between the lines to form regular or patterned nano-scale structures, which are ideally suited for the construction nano-scale materials, nano-scale electronic devices and other nano-scale objects, apparatuses or devices. The invention also relates to methods of making and using same.
