If power must come before work, water is requisite for human survival. Water covers 70% of the earth, but only 1 percent of water is drinkable. In fact,
Since the introduction of electric motors in the modern automotive industry, demand has been increasing for production of smaller and faster motors; as a result, the field of power electronics is being pushed beyond its limits.
The Problem:
Visually impaired (blind) individuals rely on simple walking sticks for navigating around obstacles encountered in their daily travels. Advanced electronic walking sticks further provide early warning of obstacles detected by sensors, and vibrating of the stick handle. However,

Background
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal.” [1] Fossil fuels have afforded humanity an unprecedented high standard of living at an equally high cost to the environment.
The internal combustion engine has been with us for over 100 years, and has seen a myriad of changes in its design, efficiency, and reliability over the years. We have seen carburetors being replaced by fuel injection, dynamos replaced by alternators, and ignition systems seeing many changes,
The Lazy Belt is the world's first 3D printed belt fabricated from a combination of ABS plastic and Thermoplastic Elastomer. The Lazy Belt is for everyone who needs to tighten their pants quickly and easily,
With this machine, the idea is to harness as much possible energy from as little space as possible.
With the horizontal blade configuration,
Classical industrial robots need actuators to be as stiff as possible for placement speed, accuracy and delivering high force. With robotics now moving into applications that require greater adaptability for handling soft or fragile materials and for avoiding injury when working with humans,
The OmniSign is the world's first all-in-one wireless vital signs monitor. It has the ability to wirelessly measure and record all four vital signs in one application.
By engineering the fire extinguisher into an oval form, three common construction problems and code violations now have a solution.
1. With the OVAL fire extinguisher, walls can now remain at their standard depth if a storage cabinet with a flush door is desired.
