OTHER INVENTIONS<br />

I could write an entire o<strong>the</strong>r book about inventing but for now I wanted to share some<br />

without compensating me monetarily, I still have <strong>the</strong> satisfaction that <strong>the</strong>y thought it was<br />

worthy. <strong>For</strong>get licensing; just hire me as an expert consultant. I will still build my own<br />

version anyway. I despise <strong>the</strong> patent process, not what it st<strong>and</strong>s for. The joy of inventing<br />

<strong>the</strong> patent process should be subsidized <strong>and</strong> its workforce increased until <strong>the</strong>n, F it.<br />

SOLAR DOME<br />

The Solar Dome is a Geomimetic Atmospheric Generator that combines Updraft, Vortex<br />

<strong>and</strong> Downdraft techniques to maximize <strong>the</strong> potential energy of hot, dry air. Solar energy<br />

is harvested via greenhouse effect <strong>and</strong> stored with <strong>the</strong>rmal mass. A large enough Solar<br />

Dome would retain enough heat to run after <strong>the</strong> sun has set, making it perpetual motion
