Abstract:
A method and apparatus that enables the production of micron-scale free-standing bubbles made of liquids containing surfactants are provided. The method and apparatus of the invention overcomes the limitations of conventional bubble forming techniques by using a controlled cavitation process in a liquid media.

Abstract:
Horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) systems are described that include a turbine with deflector in front of the turbine in order to change flow encountered by the turbine's blades. Such an arrangement improves turbine efficiency and may be embodied in a range of size scales for numerous wind (or water) power generation applications.
