Abstract: An upright reactor body with a perforated interior tube member which extends for the length of the reactor body. A water inlet permits water to be treated into the perforated tube member. A fibrous metal anode surrounds the perforated tube member followed by a surrounding layer of dielectric and then a surrounding metal cathode layer, wherein water from the inlet passes radially through the perforations in the tube member, through the anode, dielectric and cathode members, emerging from the reactor body through an outlet. A DC voltage is imposed on the cathode and anode.

Abstract: The waste water/storm water treatment system includes a plurality of treatment modules, each of which includes upper and lower tank members. Each tank includes an inlet with a spray bar at the upper end thereof, and a drainage member at the lower end thereof. Treated water moves from the drainage member in the upper tank through an inlet at the top of the lower tank. The outlet member of the lower tank is connected to a pump which is controlled by a switch, to move water to the next module in the system or to the drainage system. The tanks have metal-adsorbing inorganic media or agricultural media positioned therein, such as activated rice hulls, corn cobs and the like for adsorbing metals in the storm water/waste water.

Abstract: An apparatus 10 and method for producing a high-energy laser beam 14'". A low-power, good quality, input laser beam 14 is produced by master oscillator 12. The low-power beam 14 is focused at an input focal point 20 and reflected from turning flat 22 to a power amplifier 24 where it is amplified to a moderate power level. It is then transmitted through a polarization beam splitter 28 and its optical path length adjusted by adjustment means 30,32,34,36 prior to being directed to a phase conjugator 44. A quarter-wave plate 40 causes the phase conjugated returning beam 14" to be orthogonally polarized thereby reflecting it from polarization beam splitters 38,28. Beam 14" is then passed through the power amplifier 24 and focused at an output focal point 50 in a vacuum. The resultant high-power output beam 14'" is produced without significant degradation in the beam quality.
