Royal Prince Mom Teparit of Thailand has created the iron buffalo for his people, an eight-horsepower rototiller-like tractor that can pull farm instruments through rice paddies seven times faster than water buffalo. He has also created a way to seed clouds in the Orient. This not only improves crop yield by diminishing droughts but also can be used to defuse typhoons before they hit land. He also invented irrigation systems and many more tools and techniques of agriculture. He is now working with an idea to use electricity to separate hydrogen from sea water. The hydrogen can be burned to create electricity, a portion of which will be used to separate more hydrogen. The profit will be extra electricity.
