Abstract: A system and method for removing energy from tornados and hurricanes whereby the formation of a tornado is prevented or the force of the tornado or hurricane is substantially decreased. The system comprises superconducting donuts not requiring cryogenic cooling for producing magnetic fields, high permeability posts mounted on the ground in positions at the center of the donuts for developing artificial lightning that can be directed toward the tornado or adjacent clouds to remove energy from the tornado or hurricane.

Abstract: It is believed that Raytheon uses lightning strikes to prevent rotating clouds from building into hurricanes. In this invention, metal towers are placed on islands so as to safely ground the Raytheon man made lightning strokes without damage to property or loss of life.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming an antenna extending downwardly into the ground, below the Earth's surface, for sensing the Earth's inner ELF (extremely low frequency) signals which signals are in turn useful in predicting earthquakes and volcanoes, and also sensing the intensity of said phenomena. More particularly, the inventive antenna is basically reversed in direction from conventional antennas.

Abstract: Under load tapchanging voltage regulators with source and load connections, series and shunt transformers, switching devices for causing selectable levels of electric power to flow in either direction between the series and shunt transformers, and tapchanger controls for sensing the voltage at said load connections and causing the switching devices to select proper electric power flows so as to maintain desired voltages at the load connections.

Abstract: A wireless hub uses a first processor to communicate with IEDs, uses a second processor to communicate with landline SCADA devices, and uses a third processor to extract, store and exchange messages between SCADA protocols and IED data formats so as to as to permit two way communications between SCADA users and IEDs which are independent of protocol data formats and time of exchange.

Abstract: Apparatus for viewing in neutrino light first uses microwaves to create neutrino force differentials on piezoelectric material. The force differentials are used by elements of a matrix to create pixels of a two dimensional picture for use in viewing of underground structures from a satellite. In another form pixels are formed on an LCD display for direct human viewing.

Abstract: A programmable device for analyzing mixtures of suspended vapors and air by pinging particles making up the vapors at their mechanical resonant frequencies and detecting the resultant rings.

Abstract: In an independent basic service set (IBSS) of IEDs, using wireless communications devices to provide license-free two-way wireless peer to peer communications of digital data between pairs of IEDs, and also to provide wireless peer to peer communications between ones of said IEDs and a common access port to the IBSS.

Abstract: A device comprising a fault detector and communications module. The communications module can transmit and receive information and data via a commercial two-way wireless system, which may include two-way paging technology. The inventive device is capable of measuring imbalance currents in a remote capacitor bank, and if the imbalance current exceeds a set threshold the inventive device communicates this information, and/or other information, to an electric utility control center. The communications module is mounted using a standard utility meter socket, thereby allowing the communications module and an associated adaptive capacitor control to be stacked and mounted on the same meter socket to provide an integral unit. A two-way infrared communication port is also provided.

Abstract: A wireless hub for use in an electric utility substation, said hub providing two-way wireless communications digital information between the hub and associated IEDs. The hub includes a protocol processor, a data processor and a Scada processor. The data processor exchanging two-way digital information with IEDs using protocols of said IEDs. The Scada processor exchanges two-way digital information with an external source having its own protocol, and the protocol processor converts two-way digital information between protocols of said IEDs and the protocol of an external source. The hub includes circuits that permit any one of the three processors to select either of the other two processors to exchange digital information with the chosen processor.
