A mop having a self-contained and electrically powered wringer. The mop consists of an elongated, hollow handle wherein is placed a power unit. Attached to the power unit is a rod connected to a mop head consisting of an assembly of a cleaning device holder and a cleaning device. The preferred embodiment of the invention includes a housing for receiving the cleaning device holder. The housing in the preferred embodiment also includes movable rollers. The preferred embodiment is actuated by a switch causing electricity to flow to the power unit. The activated power unit causes a communicating spring acting against a spring stop to be fully retracted or projected. In the preferred embodiment, when the switch is released, the power unit causes the communicating spring to be fully projected. The process of retraction and projection of a cleaning device through the rollers results in the expulsion of water from the mop head. Also disclosed are alternative methods for the wringing mechanism of the mop.

A method for applying variable electro-muscle stimulation (EMS) to an exercising person includes a belt having a plurality of electrodes placed around the abdomen at the rectus abdominis and obliques. The person then gets into an exercise apparatus which has a rotatable component. Attached to the rotatable component is a transducer that senses the position of the component. An EMS generator is connected to the belt through the transducer. As the user exercises in a first direction, increasing stimulation is applied to the subject muscles. As the user moves the rotatable component in the opposite direction, decreasing stimulation is applied to the user. In an alternative embodiment, the belt has at least one pair of electrodes connected to a common adjustment control so that as the voltage increases to one of the electrodes, it decreases to the other electrode of the pair, and vice versa. A toggle switch makes possible the selection of a particular pair.

In one embodiment, a mechanical leverage system using refrigerants in conjunction with temperature differences found in the environment is utilized for air conditioning, energy generation and other applications. The mechanical leverage system provides a means for altering boiling point temperatures of refrigerants in which the system is enabled to absorb and expel heat within the temperature differentials found in the environment. The mechanical leverage system is capable of saving or generating energy.

A device for administrating electro-muscle stimulation (EMS) includes a flexible covering having a plurality of spaced apart electrodes ( ). In a preferred embodiment the flexible covering is shaped like a belt ( ) and is designed to encircle and be connected around a portion of a patients body ( ). The belt is fabricated from an elastic material so that the electrodes are pressed against the skin of the patient to promote better electrical conduction. The electrodes are selectively positionable to different locations on the belt, so they may be placed directly over a selected muscle or muscle group. Each electrode has its own individual control ( ) for adjusting the level of the electrical stimulation signal, so that (1) different muscles can receive different levels of stimulation, and (2) the level of stimulation may be changed during the course of treatment. A master adjustment control ( ) is used to adjust the stimulation signal level applied to all the electrodes. In a preferred embodiment, the individual adjustment controls are located adjacent their respective electrodes on the belt.

A system to distill seawater is disclosed. The system includes a condensing probe that serves to increase surface area and duration that heat is transferred. The system includes a first evaporator to receive seawater and boil the received seawater and produce a water vapor in addition to a boiler that contains a refrigerant R-410A. The system includes vertical blades placed across a bottom portion of the first evaporator, allowing precipitated salt to pass between the vertical blades and settle onto a tray located underneath the bottom of the evaporator. The tray is then compartmentalized as the vertical blades rotate horizontally and create a partition separating the tray from the seawater. The system includes a glass encasing that encapsulates the boiler wherein a vacuum is disposed within the glass encasing. The system includes a heating element coupled to a circulating fan to heat water vapor in the condenser.
