Plastic containers are mainly used for food, storage and for home organization. The main advantages of plastic include durability and cost. Most food products use plastic packaging because they are corrosion resistant, chemically inert, have a low thermal expansion of co-efficient and possess good thermal, electrical insulating property, very good water resistant and possess good adhesiveness.
It is thought that, like other areas of concentrated marine debris in the world's oceans, the Great Pacific garbage patch formed gradually as a result of the ocean or marine pollution gathered by ocean currents. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch isn't the only accumulation of debris in the world's oceans,
A balloon is a flexible bag that can be inflated with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, oxygen, air or water. Modern-day balloons are made from materials such as rubber, latex, polychloroprene, or a nylon fabric, and can come in many different colours. Balloons are usually made of latex, which is considered biodegradable.
Shape state analysis offers vital insights. Structures change shape before collapsing. Earthquakes are preceded by shifts in relative locations of monitoring stations. Genetic abnormalities can be detected and quantified from locations of anatomical features recognizable to specialists. These and other applications rely on comparing arrays of physical landmarks.
Technical Abstract
Photovoltaic Velcro Backed Wearable Electronic Device Charger
The Photovoltaic Velcro Charger utilizes flexible microcrystalline silicon for the photovoltaic cells and is affixed to a velcro patch that would allow for the mounting of the photovoltaic charger in numerous positions on an outside garment or life jacket.
Windshield wipers are designed and made to remove rain, snow, ice and debris from a windshield. Most cars have two wipers on the windshield, and they may have one on the rear window and one on each headlight. A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots,
Currently, the world is committed to the concept of recycling plastics. This is a very challenging process because most companies have a hard time investing in recycling. This is because recycling costs a lot considering the initial investment and running cost.
This project is about the minimization of recycling cost just like the project "Cost reduction project" ().
Sunatori's Effect refers to Anisotropic Electromagnetic Force Phenomena which were recently discovered by Simon Sunatori, P.Eng./ing., M.Eng. (Engineering Physics/Génie physique), F.N.A., IEEE-SM, WFS-LM, BNR/NT (MSS).
Anisotropy manifests itself in dramatic fashion as unexpected physical phenomena of magnetic attraction-repulsion, which is analogous to love-hate relationship. Experiments appear to defy basic law of nature,
This solution is based on a strategy and an invention. Earth has its own system to balance its temperature. Human activity distrupts this balance. Earth reduces its temperature by ice poles as a natural cooling system. We should just help the poles to repair melted ice then reduce global warming.
BACKGROUND:
Every year thousands of people lose body parts in accidents caused by different ways. Usually most of the other parts which are used to interact with computer are lost, but the eyes are still working, so why don't we use them? It doesn't mean if he or she doesn't have hands or he or she can't speak,
