For hand signal enhancement, a reversible, flexible illuminated framework, for wearing upon the human hand or over gloves. Emanating from a wrist cuff, the framework comprises four or more rope light type LED illumination elements, that provide constant on, flashing, or sequential illumination, a battery pack upon the wrist cuff, an index finger mounted switch unit; the rope light is capable of various color illumination through use of waterproofed colored or clear translucent sheaths, the light elements are connected together with a web strap midway along the length of the light elements; fabric fingertip caps terminate the light elements and hold the light elements inline with the fingers of the hand; a Velcro band upon the light elements at the first finger joint of the index and the ring fingers keeps the lighting elements from rotating upon the fingers during use.

A three-piece, compact wireless railroad grade crossing motorist warning device comprising: a locomotive mounted transceiver which simultaneously communicates (upon close proximity) with a similar transceiver mounted at railroad grade crossing, and motor vehicles equipped with sympathetic receivers. Upon signal receipt verification, the grade crossing transceiver emits a coded radio signal to local motoring public sympathetic receivers. Upon signal reception, an audio/visual alert is presented to the motor vehicle operator, alerting the motor vehicle operator to the locomotive-occupied railroad crossing. Additionally, a contact verification display is displayed to the operator of the locomotive, upon activation of the grade site transceiver.

A solar electric generator is provided wherein a plurality of propellers are mounted transversely to a shaft journaled on bearings in a housing. Each propeller includes a plurality of equiangularly spaced arms with each arm terminating in a vane member which is coated with a light absorbing medium. The housing is provided with a transparent window so that sunlight may fall on the coated side of the vanes as they rotate with the shaft mounted in the housing. The shaft is connected to a suitable electric generator such that rotation of the shaft is converted into electrical energy by the generator. A focusing system is provided to direct light along different paths to strike the absorbing surface of the vanes as they rotate about the shaft and a tracking mechanism is operative to track the sun both daily and seasonally.

Disclosed is an improved, ultra-compact, piezoelectric spark start, butane fueled, incandescent mantle type lantern for backpackers and the like, which utilizes readily available, common disposable butane cigarette lighters as an insertable and removable "fuel cell". Illumination intensity is operator controlled at the fuel cell flame adjustment control. Piezo sparking is sequenced with push-button movement of the butane lighter gas release lever, for convenient and controlled gas discharge. The lantern base portion is retractable on upright posts, into the globe (upper assembly) once the "fuel cell" is removed from the base guide, and the combination piezoelectric element and fuel cell receiver. Once removed from the receiver integral to the lantern, the "fuel cell" again may be used as a conventional cigarette lighter. A perforated, sleeve-type, sliding cylindrical shroud is located at the top of the present design, and is moveable vertically, so as to protect the globe during transport, and a wire handle is located thereupon, which folds under the base of the lantern in the collapsed mode, for convenient packaging and transport.
