Abstract: The invention provides the method for producing fire retardant, decay and moisture resistant lumber, and production line for its implementation, achieved by combining a treatment chamber and other technological components in one production line, resulting in possibility of carrying out a multi-stage lumber treatment within the same treatment chamber, by using water-insoluble natural mineral raw materials to impart refractory, decay and moisture resistant properties to the lumber by impregnation through a two-stage process, consisting of converting the insoluble natural mineral, e.g. magnesite, into the wood impregnating solution, followed by transforming the dissolved mineral inside the wood capillaries into an insoluble heat, decay and moisture resistant material.

Abstract: An electromagnetic propulsion system for the movement of spacecraft by means of ejection of the perturbed dark matter. In the present invention, to perturb and accelerate the dark matter, the electromagnetic energy generated by microwave generators is supplied to a number of position-adjustable electromagnetic vibrators that form a phased antenna array inside the waveguide. Since the dark matter permeates the Universe and its reserves are unlimited, it can be used as a working medium in the constant acceleration propulsion system for as long as the electric power supply lasts. Since the electromagnetic propulsion system has infinite reserves of the working medium, the specific impulse is also infinite. The speed of the dark matter jet approaches the speed of light.

Abstract: The present invention is a wave energy converter capable of extracting useful energy from ocean waves by utilizing finite depth of ocean waves, kinetic energy of flowing water and drag force of water that opposes the relative motion of the submerged body through the water, comprising two bodies attached to each other, wherein the buoyant body is moored to the seabed, and the fully submerged body is suspended from the buoyant body by vertical suspender cables, chains, ropes, other flexible lines, or a rigid frame, and placed at a depth of around one-half wavelength of the prevailing waves at the installation site, where the water is not affected by the surface wave action, therefore is still or relatively still.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and device for production of a new long-term storage-stable allotropic modification of oxygen, tetraoxygen O4, using a combination of known chemical reactions into one technological sequence, including chemical interaction of negative and positive oxidation state oxygen compounds. The method involves production of dioxygen difluoride by oxidation of molecular oxygen with fluorine, followed by the reaction of dioxygen difluoride with alkali metal peroxide, forming tetraoxygen O4. Tetraoxygen is stable in its liquid state up to a temperature of +40° C. and can be used for the oxidation of rocket fuel, long-term compact storage of oxygen, and many other purposes.

Abstract: A hydroelectric turbine designed to operate in a bi-directional reversing water flow caused by ocean waves, comprising an annular stator with two axially spaced sets of a plurality of guide vanes placed along its circumference that are inclined in the axial direction, an annular rotor with a plurality of concavo-convex blades placed along its circumference with an electric generator attached to it. The rotor is placed to rotate about its axis between the two sets of the stator guide vanes. Wherein, the stator and rotor are placed within the cylindrical part of an hourglass-shaped double funnel so when the ocean wave moves in one direction, the water flow enters the turbine through one end of the double funnel (inlet) and passes through the channels formed by one of the stator guide vane sets towards the rotor blades. The channels formed by the stator guide vanes are inclined at an angle to the rotor rotation plane, so that the water flows in the direction of the rotor rotation.

Abstract: Apparatus for converting the energy of ocean waves into electricity, comprises a buoyant body that floats on the surface of water and a submerged body suspended from the buoyant body by flexible cables at a depth where water is still. The submerged body comprises electric generators and horizontally-aligned rotors with a plurality of variable geometry, preferably flexible, buckets attached to a lateral surface of each rotor. The buckets are so shaped to move through water with minimum resistance in one direction and with maximum resistance in the opposite direction. The buoyant body rises with each wave, dragging the submerged body upward through the region of still water until a wave reaches its crest. As a wave falls, the gravity drags the submerged body downward until a wave reaches its trough. This movement causes unidirectional rotation of rotors. This rotation is transmitted to electric generators.
