The main drawback of electric cars is the long time it takes to recharge their battery pack.
At night they must be recharged at home and during the day at the few recharging points available throughout the city.
The objective of the SOLECTRIC CAR is to reduce the recharge time by 50%.
With this project,
Drive module combining in one reducer and motor, which is not driven not by a rotating magnetic field, but the forces of magnetic attraction and repulsion generated between the current in coils and permanent magnets. The design is shown in the attached figures, where fig. 1 is sectional view of the axis of the drive module,
We are developing an advanced phase change based passive battery pack for EV applications. Regions like india where summer temperature reaches 45 degrees needs better thermal management solutions which enhance the adoption for technology. We came up with passive cooled battery pack. These battery packs enhance battery life, safety, long term cost of ownership.
The Compressent Desk Chair is the first product that offers the therapeutic feature of self-regulated compression to enhance employee productivity. The benefits of pressure on the body have been proven to calm the nervous system. Several products aimed at providing compression have been introduced over the years, such as weighted vests, belts, and blankets,
We look at monitors all day. Computers, smart phones and television monitors are just a few. I present a monitor that can change the size of images, present simultaneous multiple images and, fitted with internal cameras, acts as a window to view family and friends from your own living area.
The main goal of the developed Hypersonic UAV (HUAV) will be its use as a test platform for studying such a layout and the subsequent creation of a multifunctional cargo vehicle or a booster aircraft for a spacecraft.
In general, prototype models of aerospace vehicle, aircraft or high speed wing bodies (even in automobiles), objects are tested in a wind tunnel test facility to get theoretical data to design the object at optimum solutions. Wind tunnels are available in a large range of mach numbers at subsonic to hyper velocity flow range.
The 3D printing industry has grown quickly over the last decade with average compound annual growth rates of around 27% leading to a market size of $17.7 billion in 2022. The use of 3D printing for large-scale polymer objects is also a high growth area,
I always had a wish to upgrade and accelerate the fight against fires. In my country every summer we have many fires that burn large areas especially on windy days. Many times these fires are close to the sea and can be in areas difficult to approach.
Companies achieved international leadership styles through innovations that create competitive advantage by perceiving an entirely new market or serving market segments ignored by others. Innovations are mundane and incremental depending more on the accumulation of small insights and advances than on a single major technological breakthrough Information plays a large role in the process of innovation and improvement.
