Electrified passenger rail is quiet, quick, and clean; BUT the average cost for conversion to electrified rail is over $15 million dollars per route mile for infrastructure and new equipment; and these electric trains are limited in range to the limited electrified track sections.
Including a phase change in a closed cycle heat engine is innovative because liquids expand so many times their volume when boiled. The working gas in a Stirling engine expands at a linear rate when heated creating the pressure changes needed.
With the rapid urbanization and modernization in China, the residential building area has been growing constantly. Application of decorating materials indoor leads to severe volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde pollution, which have adverse health effect on people, including respiratory stimulation, immune stimulation and even cancer risk.
Excess heat is a problem in electronic systems. Traditional solutions involve conducting heat energy away from the heat generating device through a heat sink to be dissipated to moving air or liquid.
ABSTRACT
For decades, structural sandwich panel design and fabrication has depended on thermoset composite solutions to make light, strong, and stiff structures required in industries such as wind energy, aerospace, transportation, marine and infrastructure. Typical sandwich structures use foam or honeycomb cores with fiber-reinforced thermoset face sheets. Unfortunately,
With a growing population that is highly exposed to an extreme working conditions and stressful life pattern, chronic muscular pain is a thing too common among both the old aged and 30+ (who use bike or work for prolonged period in the same position).
NASAs LaRC has a new method for generating very low mass visual targets that enable three-dimensional metrology and photogrammetry measurements (surface position, shape, profile, etc.) for very thin and lightweight structures.
ThorPad combines the well-known mushroom-shaped interface of the conventional suction cup with the amazing adhesive properties of modern polymers.
This concept was regarding energy genration through tidal wave energy. In INDIA had capacity to generate 150GW of renewable energy but only 33 GW was generated; that's only 22%.
High speed vertical lift aircraft has always been a constant search for the aerospace engineering community. During this search, only two aircraft have partial success reaching this goal so far, a jetfighter and a tilt rotor. The jetfighter can only land vertically but not take off.
