Sanitary dental mirror made of stainless steel or high-grade aluminum heated dental mirror powered by disposable AAA batteries and sealed with O-Rings. The heated mirror surface doesn't require constant rubbing on smocks and/or napkins to remove moisture vapor that collects due to the temperature differential between the metal mirror and the inside of the patient's mouth. This makes the instrument much more sanitary than mirrors currently in use.
Variable temperature (operator controlled) dental irrigator constructed of three pieces of stainless steel or high-grade aluminum housing two water supply tubes (cold and hot) sealed with O-Rings. The calibrated temperature control valve located on the discharge end of the dental irrigator allows the user (dentist or technician) to adjust the water spray from the irrigator to suit the patient's comfort desire. An additional feature of the irrigator is the interchangeable discharge jets (tips) that may be screwed on/off the main irrigator body for sterilization.
Compressed natural gas (CNG) fueled auxiliary power source in the 100-250 brake horsepower range, mounted (hung) on the rear of the wind generator main shaft, equipped with shaft speed sensors that have been calibrated to minimum/maximum desired main shaft (electrical generator) speed and that can engage and spin the main shaft attached to the electrical power generator on demand when there is insufficient wind to do so.
Interchangeable template set for precisely and quickly cutting openings in gypsum, tile, wood paneling or other wall covering material. Floating design and wide variety of available templates (electrical outlets, round water pipe pass-throughs, HVAC duct openings, etc., allows the desired opening to be clearly and quickly marked and the hole cut with very close tolerances to minimize waste material and reduce heating/cooling loss, increasing energy efficiency.
Wind Powered Electrical Generator-Hydraulic-Natural Gas Power Augmented
Natural gas (NG) fueled auxiliary power source, combined with a high-pressure hydraulic pump supplying hydraulic fluid to a secondary hydraulic propulsion unit mounted (hung) on the rear (aft) of the wind generator main shaft provides axial force (torque) to the mainshaft via a ring and pinion set and planetary gearbox, or scaled turbine propulsion unit equipped with shaft speed sensors that have been calibrated to minimum/maximum desired main shaft (electrical generator) speed and that can engage and spin the main shaft attached to the electrical power generator on demand when there is insufficient wind to do so.
Grid Independent Ac/Dc Electrical Power Generation System
The ability to power an off-grid device, such as a lighting system or wide-area computer network (Wi-Fi) hotspot is maximized and made self-sustaining by introducing an apparatus that provides energy storage and recharging capability by way of a series of interconnected photo-voltaic (PV) panels that are scalable in number, and microprocessor-controlled power supply/converter unit(s) recharging an inter-connected bank of deep cycle direct current (DC) batteries, with type used and number dependent upon end-user requirements and application. The intelligent controller will be built to include a removable memory/firmware device containing a system control program consisting of about 16,000 lines of C+ code. This code may be reconfigured as required to optimize the device for its operating environment, (see Claim above). In this way, the power generation system may be quickly reconfigured to best suit the operating environment in which it is deployed. The system intelligent control unit monitors and at user/owner determined intervals interrogates the PV-panels and batteries, recording and transmitting system operational status to a data collection/analysis station. The entire apparatus (Direct Current (DC) or Alternating Current (AC) electrical power generation system)) may be configured to act as an independent power supply for remote devices.
