1. Recycle

1.1. ~The Biolytix® System is a compact waste treatment system that converts raw sewage, wastewater, and food waste into high quality irrigation water on site. ~Then selected worms, beetles, and microscopic organisms convert the waste into structured humus, which acts as a filter to turn the waste into garden irrigation.

2. Waste

2.1. ~Waste Management addresses waste from its source through its final disposal, providing recycling services and looking for more ways to reuse wastes and convert wastes into new products. ~Wet waste streams lead to fermentation of organic wastes, which ultimately can produce alcohols, organic acids, biogas, diesel, and soil. Dry materials can be used in thermal chemical pathways to capture carbon, resulting in production of ethanol, ethyl acetate, methanol, Fischer-Tropsch diesel, or lube oil.

3. Design

3.1. ~By placing vertical-axis turbines (different from the traditional horizontal-axis, propeller-style turbines) close together in a strategic array, energy is gathered by each turbine, while simultaneously directing wind to nearby turbines. ~vertical-axis turbine design demands less space to operate. ~Turbines are placed in close proximity as a necessary part of the spatial design, significantly decreasing the acreage necessary to gather wind power.

4. Sight

4.1. ~developed a synthetic cornea that can be implanted into a human eye to significantly improve sight in people with eye-related diseases. ~The synthetic cornea is made of collagen and encourages the regeneration of natural human tissue into the collagen matrix, improving sight while reducing infection and discomfort usually associated with cornea transplants or contact lens use. ~ The regenerated corneas can produce tears and are sensitive to touch, essentially making them just like the natural cornea of a healthy eye.
