Abstract: 72% of all energy generated in an internal combustion engine is lost to the radiators and exhaust. Internal Combustion Energy Recovery, ICER, uses this energy by reflecting the infrared, IR, radiation from combustion to capture it with absorbing gas (to) increase cylinder pressure. This technology is adaptable to existing engine(s) as a “bolt on” modification.

Abstract: A partition for use in vehicles having interior cabin space including at least one row of seats includes a deformable frame and at least one attachment device. The deformable frame is covered at least partially with a fabric material. The at least one attachment device attaches the deformable frame to a portion of a vehicle. Upon installation in a vehicle, the deformable frame separates a first passenger seat of the vehicle from a second passenger seat in the same row.

Abstract: A process for producing butanol comprising the following three phases: (1) growing algae, (2) fermenting algae and (3) separating butanol.

Abstract: Three billion years ago single celled plants used sunlight and CO2 to make molecules in which much of the energy was stored that we use today. The first algae cells were very much like today's algae and are still the most efficient converters of sunlight to stored energy. Simple equipment and materials in air and earth are all we need to make a liquid, gasoline-replacing fuel with aqueous culturing and fermenting tanks. One such facility, 14 miles square, on land or floating in a bay could make enough butanol to supply the motor fuel we need. But, it is better to divide production into several thousand Fuel Farms™” to reduce transportation and increase national security. The prototype small business fuel farm uses two acres of land for growing trays, fermentation and storage tanks. A box canyon of land not suitable for agriculture or residential use, hence cheap, but with a a well producing six gallons of water per minute of any quality is all we need.

Abstract: Generally, systems for air and water purification using unpowered charged sorbent mediums (3) which may include layered double hydroxide (LDH) (1) compositions, lignin (2), and methods of sorbing inorganic or organic material(s) onto such mediums, including anionic contaminants (10), cationic contaminants (11), non ionic organic contaminants (20), and even biological agents (7) such as bacteria or viruses present in liquids or gases.
