Disclosed are methods to remove organic and/or inorganic compounds (e.g., contaminants) from water containing organic and/or inorganic compounds, involving contacting the water with an effective organic and/or inorganic compounds removing amount of hemoglobin/FeOcomposite where the compounds in the water adsorb onto the hemoglobin/FeOcomposite, and removing (e.g., using a magnet since the composite is magnetic) the hemoglobin/FeOcomposite from the water.

A wind operated electricity generating system for decreasing wind resistance of a moving vehicle and harvesting energy from the air encountered, comprises a box portion having a front opening, a rear opening and an inside compartment. When a vehicle is moving, air is funneled through the increasingly narrow inside compartment. The air is directed through a series of vanes to a plurality of blade of a multiple turbines that are thereby caused to rotate. The turbines are in turn mechanically connected to electromechanical generators, which generate electricity to be supplied to the vehicle. The electricity generated is stored in battery packs that may be utilized for propulsion of the vehicle. The electromechanical generator speed is controlled under a safe rotational speed by a braking mechanism attached to a shaft of the electromechanical generator.

Methods for aggregating suspended solid particles in an aqueous medium involving mixing the aqueous medium with an effective amount of a flocculant to aggregate the solid particles to form aggregated solid particles, and optionally separating the aggregated solid particles from the aqueous medium. The flocculant is obtained from animal blood. The pH of the aqueous medium may be adjusted to a pH of about 4.5 to about 5.7 by the addition of at least one acid or acidic buffer. The temperature of the aqueous medium may be adjusted to a temperature range of about 10&#xb0; to about 50&#xb0; C.

A writing utensil kit comprising a plurality of writing utensils including an associated tip having at least one notch formed therein and adapted to mechanically engage a writing surface and produce a stylized design when manipulated thereupon by a user. A method of using the writing utensil wherein a user selects a writing utensil from the kit; orients the writing utensil such that the writing utensil is in mechanical engagement and fluid communication with a writing surface; and manipulates the writing utensil such that a stylized design is produced thereupon.

A digital Non Return to Zero (NRZ) and Frequency Modulated (FM) radio transmitter intended but not unique to, for the transmission of Digital, Tone Only or Tone and Voice paging messages is described. This transmitter is built on the concept that the separate signals required are individually constructed, and then combined together into the actual RF output. This provides for optimized circuitry for each particular function for the highest performance. There is no reason for compromising the performance of a particular function, and the implementation of the modulation and synthesis with direct digital technology provides extremely linear and fast radio performance at no extra cost. Maintenance is also simplified since the individual blocks can be troubleshooted and repaired (or replaced) requiring a minimum of down time.
