Abstract: The water desalination system using geothermal energy includes a plurality of stepped evaporation trays. Salt water flows into the uppermost tray and cascades to each successively lower tray to overflow from the lowermost tray when all trays are full. Two sloped glass panels pass solar energy therethrough to heat the water. Condensation collects on the inner panel and runs down the panel to collect in a trough at the lower edge. The desalinated water then flows to a collection tank. Additional heat energy is provided by a working fluid (e.g., air) that is pumped to subterranean levels where significant geothermal heat is produced. The heated air is then circulated around the evaporation trays to enhance evaporation. The required energy for the operation of the system may be provided by solar cells and wind energy. Mirrors and functionally graded material further increase the efficiency of the desalination system.

Abstract: A system and method of sustainable aquaponics that vertically integrates unique aquaponic system designs with alternative aquaculture fish feed sources, fingerling production methods, alternative aquaculture/farmed fish grow out models, and green energy sources that yield organic produce in the form of fruits and vegetables. A raceway system serves as the hub for grow-out throughout the warm and cold months. During the summer months, fish can be spawned and fed for steady growth, while during the winter months, the fish continue to grow at slower quite acceptable growth rates. Plants like legal (licensed) cannabis for medical use can be grown in plant areas near the raceways with very high yields.

Abstract: The present technology enables data communication between a kettle body and a power base of a cordless kettle. This enables a user to view kettle data and control functions or parameters such as temperature, from the power base of a cordless kettle.

Abstract: A system and method of sustainable aquaponics that vertically integrates unique aquaponic system designs with alternative aquaculture fish feed sources, fingerling production methods, alternative aquaculture/farmed fish grow out models, and green energy sources that yield organic produce in the form of fruits and vegetables. A raceway system serves for grow-out throughout the warm and cold months. During the summer months, fish can be spawned and fed for steady growth, while during the winter months, the fish continue to grow at slower quite acceptable growth rates. The present invention derives its water from an open, natural, established pond or lake ecosystem to ensure that the raceways are adequately seeded with all of nature's good and bad bacteria and algae. The present invention can include winter quarters for the fish that is well-insulated and heated to ensure that the fish are comfortable and will continue growing and spawning throughout winter months.

Abstract: A sea water well source is used to supply cold sea water to a pair of serially connected thermal exchange systems. The sea water outflow from the second system is then supplied to an aquaculture preserve to provide nutrients in the sea water to marine life cultivated in the aquaculture preserve. The first of two heat exchange systems uses the cold sea water to cool a building or refrigeration unit. Alternatively, it may be used to condense fresh water from the air when the sea water is passed through coils. The second of the two heat exchange systems is a temperature-controlled agricultural system which uses the sea water output from the first heat exchange system to maintain the climate so as to grow agricultural products.

Abstract: A combination aquarium heater and cooler apparatus is provided which utilizes a feedback circuit to automatically maintain the fluid in an ecosystem at an operator set desired temperature. The feedback system scheme takes advantage of a thermo-electric heat pump component in combination with a high gain amplifier in order to achieve the desired result of maintaining the ecosystem at a temperature which is nearly constant regardless of other undesirable spurious heat inputs or losses to the ecosystem.
