Abstract: An energy capturing device is positionable above a roof of a building, structure, or object. Each of a plurality of lifting components has a short leg with an inner end coupled to the building, structure, or object and has a long leg with an upper end positionable above the building, structure or object. An upper pivot member couples the upper ends of the long legs to the energy capturing device. A lower pivot member pivots the energy capturing device between a raised operative orientation above the building, structure, or object and a lowered inoperative orientation beneath the building, structure, or object. A control system allows positioning the energy capturing device with respect to the building, structure, or object.

Abstract: An electrically powered infrared based thermal weed control system. A housing has a downwardly facing chamber. At least one electrically powered infrared heating element is mounted within the chamber. A source of electrical potential is electrically coupled to the electrically powered infrared heating element. A control assembly varies the electrical potential to the electrically powered infrared heating elements and the heat generated for controlling undesired weeds there adjacent.

Abstract: Each of two turret-shaped modules has a generally hemispherical configuration facing outwardly and a disk-shaped flange facing inwardly. The flanges are similarly configured with a planar surface and circular periphery. An axial bore extends centrally through each module parallel with the planar surfaces for receiving and supporting first and second cylindrical objects. A V-band encompasses the flanges with the planar surfaces in contact with each other. The clamp includes a rotatable member to loosen and tighten the clamp. In this manner, the flanges and modules are rotated and fixed with respect to the received and supported cylindrical objects.

Abstract: A housing has interior and exterior ends with a side wall there between. A spray assembly includes a manifold. The manifold is mounted for rotational movement within the housing. A tube extends through the exterior end. In this manner the manifold is coupled to a source of water. A plurality of spray nozzles is provided. The spray nozzles are provided on the manifold. The spray nozzles are angled in opposite directions. In this manner pressurized water may pass through the tube. Also in this manner water passing through the tube will spin the nozzles. Further in this manner the water coming into contact with a wheel there adjacent will be discharged.

Abstract: A roof has a fixed roof section with a bottom, a top, sides and an exposed face. A solar panel has an exterior edge, an interior edge and side edges. The side edges have midpoints intermediate the interior and exterior edges. The solar panel has an outer face and an inner face. Tubing movably couples the solar panel with respect to the fixed roof section. A drive member is adapted to move the solar panel with respect to the fixed roof section. A control sub system includes a processor and a sensor. The processor is operatively coupled to the sensor. In this manner the position of the sun is determined. Also in this manner the drive member is activated and inactivated. Further in this manner the angular orientation of the solar panel may be varied. Finally in this manner the efficiency of the solar panel may be maximized.
