The windmills on I-10 between Phoenix and LA might be used to tow ocean water uphill over the continental divide. If that were done, a river could be built that would flow down through Phoenix, into Mexico, and all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Water rapids, bike trails could be built, and of course the organic material in the ocean could be used to raise farmland and provide drinking water to the area.
The 1950s interstate highway system is due for some improvements:
1. high-speed train down the center for quick commutes
2. two lanes next to the train for high-speed motorcyclists (200+ MPH)
3. autobahn lanes for cars without speed limit
4. slower traffic lanes on the right
Build 2 tracks off-road to the right of the interstate. One would be a gravel or dirt road for high speed four wheel drives. Then another track for Baja 500-type driving. Drunk driving might be allowed (or even encouraged with proper licensing). Imagine partying in Phoenix overnight and then racing to LA or San Diego before sunrise for possible surfing. Hence the LA 400. You could also have a few campgrounds along the way just in case you wanted to stop.

Book Futures
While hiking with my natural mother over Father's Day in 2009, she was talking about writing a nutrition book for the masses. Her book encouraged experimenting and re-teaching your taste buds to detect chemicals and find the natural food that is best for you. She had written a few chapters in her spare time, but didn't have the time or energy to complete the book. She was also running into road blocks with finding a publisher that didn't want her to invest money for publishing her book.
So while we were hiking and discussing her book, I was considering options for how to get that important book published and had an idea. A properly marketed website called Book Futures would allow independent investors to review book or movie ideas and invest in them directly. This could provide seed capital and allow the author/screenwriter an advance to concentrate on completing his/her vision. Investors would certainly provide enough oversight to ensure their investment was well tended and depending on risk, would share in a substantial portion of the profits.
Eventually this idea could be used for business investment capital without requiring any oversight or regulatory control. Interested parties are always watching. Small niches can be filled without going through a hierarchical system that requires the review of a finite number of editors who do not have the time to devote to certain ideas that might otherwise be marketable.

Trapping Discrete Particles in Fluids
Molecular Dynamics looks at the shape, charge, speed, and spin of individual molecules as they move and bump into each other in a fluid such as air, water, fire, etc.
Water contains all atoms at a small particulate level. Since each molecule/particle has a unique shape and responds to specific electrical/magnetic charges, molecules and atoms can be trapped. The patent for the process is called "Trapping Discrete Particles in Fluids".
If you were to imagine a shoe floating down a river, a specific shaped trap could be built that would capture only that particular shoe. A certain size. A certain shape. A certain weight. So the same thing could be done for molecules to trap individual sodium molecules to desalinate as well as water mining for precious metals or cleaning the ocean of large pharmaceutical or herbicide pollution.

International Banking System
After 7 or 8 years of studying banking, politics, economics, and money, the problem with money became apparent through reverse engineering the concept of money. A solution called Promise Language was developed using software programming concept/object-oriented design principles. It is a simple specification that is similar to basic contract law and is easily read by a computer. It's designed to be a public specification that is both human and computer readable. Ensuring trust is maintained by tracking the results of people's promises between each other. When implemented, money becomes obsolete. All transactions become transfers of wealth (or value).

Hidden Desktop
Hidden Desktop is an evolution of The Computer Condom (see below) that hides a user/desktop from all other potential users of the computer. The login and password is completely hidden as is all their files and data. Originally envisioned to protect someone's data from innocent perusal of the computer, it was engineered with near NSA-quality security.
The desktop is only accessible through a secret hotkey and all associated data (browser history, files, chats, emails, etc.) is instantly locked down and secured when the user logs off or shuts down the computer. Even computer security experts would not locate or suspect that another login existed on the computer.
A provisional patent was filed on this software in 2006 or 2007.

The Computer Condom
The Computer Condom is a software product designed to protect a computer from attacks by hackers and viruses on the internet.
The software created a separate user login (desktop) on a computer that was fully secure and could browse any website safely. It customized the desktop by locking down the internet browser to disallow many of the more exploitable services, but would not hinder normal web browsing. It was also going to lock down the computer's Windows Services to further prevent outside hacker attack, but I did not receive market success and the product then morphed into Hidden Desktop as described above. Hidden Desktop is virtually the same product, except the entire desktop was hidden from all other users of the computer.

The Arbiter
In 2003, while at work and bored with the few restaurant choices available in the area for lunch, a software application was developed to help us make the right choice.
A few features of this fully-functional choice-maker:
- entering of available restaurants
- database remembering the last few restaurants chosen (so as not to repeat a restaurant too often)
- button to make the proper choice of restaurant on that given day.
It worked every time.

Internet software development API
In 2002, as part of another project a tiny program was designed to automate software development at most companies. For 90+% of all companies, the software relegates and abstracts most of the drudgery of application development. It was designed for websites and could be used for both intranet and internet applications. It is extremely fast, can be used by anyone who can code a webpage's HTML. It abstracts all aspects of software design, including the database. It goes beyond object-oriented programming and might be called "concept-oriented programming". Intuitive and easy to use by non-programmers, it virtually eliminates the need for software developers at most companies.
Some features:
- framework for complex business applications with fully functional classes and object models. No limitations.
- automatic data persistence of classes/objects with full choice of back-end database (text files to SQL Server to Oracle to Access)
- multiple application support with single user login
- fully secure login (one-way encrypted password with salt value) with password reset and login creation
- role-based security for each web application
- automatic pagination
- shopping cart with encrypted credit card numbers unavailable to developer or database
- configurable payment methods that support instant or installment payments
- efficient load-balancing across multiple servers for server farms
- programmable HTML menu system
- JavaScript functions for dates and data validation
- small DLL (~350k) runs in each IIS application process
In essence, it's a fully-functional application server that is easier to use than .NET or any Java-based solution and is without limitation on class, object, database design or HTML layout.
