Solids are better insulators than liquids and there are materials that are more dense in their solid rather than their liquid phase. These two facts are at the heart of an innovative way to improve efficiency in concentrated solar energy plants. Formation of crusts of solid phase change materials reduces efficiency during operation.
Many models for estimating solar irradiance exist and there are still more software packages utilising these models. The majority of these models simply look at total irradiance and do not consider the influence of the spectral distribution. More sophisticated models use a single standard spectrum for the whole year.
Fresh produce is in high demand globally, with many trends like climate sustainability and a rapidly growing population influencing the availability. Considering these two pivotal factors, using current methods of conventional soil growing, which has a comparatively poor productivity will create a shortfall in supply of crops and produce globally,
The DragShield is an aerodynamic device that is placed behind the pickup truck cab, where air flows over the cab and into the truck bed. The DragShield has been proven by both analysis and testing to reduce the fuel consumption of a pickup truck. It works by reducing the drag on the vehicle,
Ideaz partnered with Pillar Technologies to develop the first real-time construction environment monitoring system, bringing state of the art IoT technology to the construction site.
Pillar's system helps construction and insurance companies track and reduce the risk of fire, water and mold among other environmental conditions.
Pl4NO is a neo futuristic shoe, made from one single material, mounted by the user, without differentiation between the left or the right foot. This minimalist shoe doesn't need glue, seam, or any other kind of fixation material whatsoever, being structured only by notch mechanisms.
Inspired by the visionary composer and architect Iánnis Xenákis and his graphic projects of composition,
The main concern of the future is the natural resources which are being consumed rapidly with greed undermining the consequences.The use of fertilizers may improve yields today but the impact is vast on soil texture and fertility. Also, it affects the ecosystem immensely.
NASA's Langley Research Center has developed a new technique to enable the preparation of metal/composite hybrid laminates, also known as fiber metal laminates (FML), by depositing metal directly onto fabric using a plasma deposition process. FMLs provide a useful combination of structural and functional properties for both aerospace and non-aerospace applications. Currently,
A garment hanger called Plico 2 solves the perennial problem of the narrow neck hole by folding for easy insertion without complicated mechanics. The upper illustration (Fig. 1) and the video show how it works.
When T-shirts, turtleneck tops and polo shirts are displayed for retail on conventional hangers to optimize visibility,
Environmental pollution is increasing day by day in India and the world. From one report 10% of total pollution is produced through automotive engines. And economy of engine will decreases day by day by increasing in its cc capacity for higher power output, it directly cause to higher pollution in air. To control that pollution increasing day by day
