The inventor provides a pollution-free electricity generator that harnesses the weight and power of ocean waves to turn a shaft that runs an electricity generator. The inventor anchors the ocean wave drill bit corkscrew apparatus in the surf so that ocean waves roll over half of the drill bit corkscrew apparatus and turns a shaft that powers and electricity generator.

A zero-fossil-fuel-using non-polluting apparatus to (1) use wind power to (2) generate a steady flow of hydroelectricity (3) from increasing the height level of water from a water table or river or lake and (4) storing that water and its potential energy in (5) a water tower, and then (6) releasing that water's potential energy in a (7) steady gravity-driven flow in a downward-flowing pipeline to (8) operate in-pipe electricity generators to establish a reliable non-fluctuating source of hydroelectricity from (9) many in-pipe hydroelectricity generators in pipelines to create electricity when the water tower water is released to the in-pipe hydroelectricity generators which creates (10) a steady non-fluctuating stream of water to turn the turbines of many in-pipe hydroelectric generators to create (11) a steady, non-fluctuating flow of electricity regardless of whether the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.

The invention provides an apparatus which can heat water using a Fresnel lens or magnifying glass to focus and concentrate sunlight on water-filled radiator-like tubes which move water, by the water pressure from a water spigot/bib (without pumping), to: 1. move the heated water through tubes to heat any space inside any building, and 2. provide steam to power a steam-powered electricity generator to provide electricity, and charge a battery, during daylight hours, and then use the charged battery to supply electricity during the night hours, and 3. move water, cooled by the subsurface ground, by water pressure from a water spigot/bib without pumping, into proximity with any air space inside any building to cool the air space, and 4. array a series of magnifying glasses or Fresnel lenses in order to catch the rays of the sun from sunrise to sunset and focus those rays on the car radiator-like tubes full of water in order to heat the water without using fossil fuels, and 5. support the, array of magnifying glasses or Fresnel lenses and car-radiator-like water tubes with arch structures to hear the weight and protect the structure from earthquake damage.

Fabrication of about a thirty-story parking structure where commuters will park and then take elevators to the to of the structure where they will embark on a skiff or small boat and travel down a water trough that goes over the tops of roads, freeways and bridges to the other side of normal traffic bottlenecks, to docking spaces about the third floor of downtown buildings where they will dock their skiffs or boats and disembark on the dock, and their vacated skiffs will go onto a conveyor belt that will take the vacated skiffs to the top of another thirty-story building in the downtown area where commuters wanting to return to the original parking structure will embark on the skiffs going down a similar water slide back to the original parking structure from which they had departed earlier, to get their cars and trucks and drive back to their homes.

A system allows people to more easily find products matching their skin tone. The system includes a database that categorizes cosmetic products according to a skin tone color set. The system includes a scanning device to scan one or more spots of a person's skin. For example, three different spots can be scanned. The scan determines a skin-tone identifier for the person's skin. With this skin-tone identifier, the customer can view products that match their skin tone.
