In the introduction to a critical analysis of technologies adopted in the last time, her practice in the processing of waste agricultural and industrial production, as well as the estimation methods for describing the energy-saving technologies. In the photosynthesis of the basic photochemical processes in the development of plants. A quantitative estimation of the carbon content in different parts of the biosphere. It is shown that an imbalance of the synthesis products (consumption) and disposal can lead to irreversible environmental consequences. The processes of photosynthesis in plants and found that the rate of these processes depends on the external conditions and anthropogenic impacts on the environment. The paper analyzes the converted equation of photosynthesis and analyzes the mechanisms of electronic transitions in plant cells. When considering the physical and chemical nature of photosynthesis revealed that the main source of energy stored by plants is solar emition, and included in the structure of plant enzymes and conversion system is a complex mechanism for the conversion of solar energy into biomass. In the analysis of the absorption spectra of plant cell shows that the main types of flora have characteristic absorption spectra, the maximum length of which lie in the region, red and violet emition. The main visible part of the spectrum (yellow, green, blue), is generally reflected the biological object. Based on the spectral absorption characteristics of plants conclusions that to improve the efficiency of energy-saving technologies should be used not traditional sources of artificial light used for growing plants (mercury vapor lamps), and constructed on the basis of cost and LEDs with long service life LED transformation-verter. The analysis of the rate of energy conversion processes in B-tems with different sensitivity and shown that this process  can be optimized by the use of systems, allowing use of light flux control artificial sources of emition. The ecological processes associated with the development of the plant in terms of the influence of the ambient temperature and the water regime of compliance to accumulate biomass.

The problem of Intentional Destructive Electromagnetic Impacts (IDEI) on power systems becomes recently more and more actual in connection with two modern trends: an extending application of microelectronics and microprocessor-based devices and systems in electric power industry - on the one hand, and intensive designs special equipment for distance destruction of electronic devices and systems - with another. The most powerful method for such destruction is the High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) as a result of high-altitude nuclear explosion. The history of experimental high-altitude nuclear explosions includes already half a century. During this time many tens the scientific articles and books in details presenting this phenomenon and measures of protection from it, have been published. In view of this fact, it would be possible to assume, that the problem of protection against HEMP for a long time is solved and modern power systems are well protected from this phenomenon. The research performed by the author, displays, that actually it not and for the last decades in one country of the world is not undertaken any practical measures on protection of national infrastructures against HEMP and all  is restricted only to writing of reports, recommendations and guidelines. In the paper the reasons for such situation (in particular, political and military aspects of the problem) are analyzed.       

Amphibious hovercrafts (AH) are shown to be promising as an energy and environmentally efficient solution of the transport problems of the Russian north, but the known designs are not fit for it. A new software package has been developed for support of R&D of new AH designs, which implements mathematical models of AH, that take into account the dynamics of AH movement on water and solid horizontal and inclined surfaces with different roughness and large obstacles (ridges), various types of propulsors (contact wheels, aerodynamic propellers, paddle wheels), skirts (classical and consisting of flexible cones), blowers, motors, etc. Detailed 3D calculations have been carried out. The advantages of new, nontraditional designs of AH for the Russian North are shown. 

The method for preparation of the electrode material based on polyaniline (PAni) doped by p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) has been developed. PAni-(PTSA)0.5  was prepared by mixing solutions of emeraldine base (EB) and PTSA in formic acid at a 1 mol of PTSA to 2 monomer units ratio in the polyaniline chain. Electrochemical properties of the PAni-PTSA film casted onto a Ni support have been studied using cyclic voltammetry (CVA) and charge-discharge curves in 1М LiClO4 in propylene carbonate. It has been shown that the insertion of PTSA provides quickly attained steady state of CVA and enhances noticeably capacity of the PAni-PTSA electrode in aprotic Li electrolyte. If charge-discharge current is increased from 1 A/g to 10 A/g, capacity changes insignificantly from 260 F/g to 244 F/g, respectively. The effect of PTSA embedded in PAni as dopant at a stage of the formation of a polymer matrix on morphology, crystallinity, and conductivity of PAni-(PTSA)0.5 was studied by IR spectroscopy, X-ray analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. 

In devices for measuring photovision applied sensors on the basis of photoresistors, photodiodes, vacuum and gas-filled photocells. These photosensors have to add filters and system filters. On the experimental data found that as of photosensors, you can use the LEDs. In laboratory tests, the LEDs of different colors of light react to individual optical radiation. LEDs are not sensitive to radiation with a wavelength longer than at which they emit light. Established that the maximum sensitivity of all LEDs a bit is shifted into the region of shorter wavelength than which the led emits. On the basis of led sensors can make the light meter, RGB-sensors, photosynthesis active radiation and measuring the near UV radiation. With the function of relative spectral luminous efficacy of monochromatic radiation for night vision coincides sensitivity of yellow led with a wavelength of 590 nm. With the function of relative spectral luminous efficacy of monochromatic radiation for daylight vision matches the sensitivity of red LEDs with a wavelength of 625 and 628 nm. To create RGB sensors need LEDs with operating wavelengths 660, 625 and 525 nm. There is no need to use corrective filters.
