Abstract: An energy farm system that harnesses energy from the environment has an integrated energy collector that harnesses solar light radiation, solar heat radiation, and harnesses wind energy. Some embodiments of the collector may be used for powering lights on a pole, communication equipment outdoors, and be suitable for powering homes and buildings. The collector harnesses wind energy by a horizontal axis rotation wind mill, harnesses solar light radiation by using a system of lenses that focus light to the center to the photovoltaic cells, and harnesses solar heat radiation by using a system of lenses that focus heat to the center to a heat exchanger. The collector mounted on a pole receives solar energy from the sun rays, as the sun travels from east to west. The lens elements focus light and heat radiation towards the center of the collector to a solar cell array and a solar energy collector.

Abstract: This invention discloses a parking meter system having a (I) parking meter and a (ii) central system on a global computer network, wherein the parking meter is activated by the central system. The parking meter is adapted with a cellular telephone device with an embedded central processing unit with parking meter function, whereby the function interfaces with the central computer system for the purpose of activation/deactivation of the parking meter and in collection of parking fees. The invention also discloses a dual-use parking meter system where the parking meter may have a coin box, a coin insertion slot with a coin sensor, and a coin status function logic embedded in the adapted telephone device, wherein on inserting coins for parking fee payment, the central system is able to send meter use status for display in the adapted cellular telephone device's display screen.

Abstract: An aircraft comprises a hollow elongated body having a plurality of short wings projecting outwardly form the body in a vertically stacked array. The wings transverse substantially the entire length of the body. Engines with diameters substantially equal to the maximum width of the wings are mounted behind the wings, with at least one engine mounted on either side of the aircraft. Honeycomb structures mounted behind each engine cause the air thrust rearward by the engines to be directed as a smooth laminar flow of air. Air deflectors mounted behind the honeycomb structures deflect the air thrust rearward by the engines. A steering mechanism can orient the deflectors: (i) in a downward direction to provide an upward lifting force on the aircraft, or (ii) in an upward direction to provide a downward force on the aircraft, or (iii) in a port or starboard direction to steer the aircraft. Landing gear is attached to the bottom of the aircraft. Resilient structures are used to absorb shock in case of a crash.
