Tactile Squeegee for Plexiglas Windows

Cleaning Plexiglas windows is not easy, you have to be careful to apply the right amount of pressure. Too little pressure and you do not clean it very well. Too much pressure and you end up scratching it. For many years I had washed and cleaned aircraft with Plexiglas windshields.

Where Do Insects Go When It Rains?

Larger insects will cling to whatever shelter they can find until they are eventually washed along by running water.

Einstein Half Dead

Modern physics theory does not fully see eye-to-eye with Einstein and nothing seems fully satisfactory. Worse still, nobody seems yet to have even disproved the much earlier physics theories of Descartes or Gilbert?

Mississippi River Mouth Debris Jetting Using Acoustic Transducers

The Mighty Mississippi is backing up and causing flooding issues due to over growth build up at its river mouth. This is dangerous because that region is already so close to sea level. In fact much of the City of New Orleans is 12-feet under sea level and protected by a man-made seawall.

Life Under Mars Ice Shelf?

When looking for life on Mars we should be thinking of how life forms on Earth. Not because it will be similar, although it possibly could be, but because we know the things, which inhibit life and the things which help it flourish.

DNA Testing Has Changed Everything

The possibility that DNA could be used for human identity and relationship testing had been discussed from the time DNA was first revealed as the molecule which makes people unique. Yet, it was not until the discovery of DNA fingerprinting by Prof. Alec Jeffreys (now Sir Alec) of Leicester University in 1984 when the first practical testing system became available.

Saving People in Disaster Crisis, Concept

So often when we see huge Natural Disasters there are many people killed, but for everyone who perishes there are 5-10 people injured; many very seriously. So often too the region of the world were the disaster occurs does not have enough hospital beds, medical professionals or the right equipment needed to help save those lives.

Acoustic Transducers for High Altitude Balloon Control

Using acoustic transducers it maybe possible to create a small region of thicker air underneath a blimp and use that patch as a platform of air to float on while blowing ever so slightly low pressure air underneath the blimp like a hover craft. Although this idea sounds like a long shot it can be done by use of a screen, which shoots the directed frequency waves into the waves created by the acoustic transducers.

Smart Dust and Virtual Keyboards

Using Smart Dust which is sprinkled onto a rock it maybe possible to type information into a small computer or PDA very rapidly. This could be quite handy for many things such as; Search and Rescue, Fire Fighting, Civil Air Patrol, Hikers and Mountain Climbers and of course military applications. Think for a second the possibilities for Net Centric Warfare for Special Forces Troops.

Randomness Versus Predetermination

Do we have free will? Based on how science experiments are conducted, the flip of a coin and decisions we make; it's quite possible we do not.

Using Mosquito MEMS to Collect DNA Samples

Soon scientists will have scaled down robotic insects. This is a good thing and most of this technology is being funded for Department of Defense uses as they will have a killer application there indeed.

The Bermuda Triangle and Antarctica

The disposition of Earth Energy Grid Anomalies around the Earth serve to tell us some things we need further study to understand about who we are and what purpose this planet serves.

Ocean Polymer Goo to Stop Enemy Ships, a Concept

Naval blockade using polymer goo to stop fleeing ships might be possible. In this concept we will use the goo to stick to the bottom of the opposing navy’s vessels. Is operation; “Salad Bowl” a secret weapon? No, blockades have been going on since warships have been used. It is merely another tactic in the arsenal as the modern use of blockades moves forward.

Mars Surface Exploration and AFF

As we study more and more about Mars we know there is life. Unfortunately in many regions of the planet it is not so evident. There is evidence of past water in abundance and perhaps some ground water under the surface; this is where we will find life.

Transducers - The Remarkable Changers

Complex control systems all make use of signals that can be easily measured and altered remotely...
