Despite advances in electric vehicle (EV) and autonomous driving technology, a meaningful improvement to individual automotive mobility remains elusive. While the humble wagon has been around since the horse and buggy, there’s not been improvements to the design that take advantage of 21st century automotive technology.
The world is aging rapidly, with more elderly individuals than ever before. Older people face significant challenges, including loneliness, difficulty connecting with loved ones, limited access to technology, and the need for health tracking and assistance. While pets can offer companionship, they also have drawbacks like expenses, care requirements,
Passive systems are a type of design that uses natural processes to cool/heat a building without the use of mechanical/electrical systems. The system is composed of solar collector towers (air heater) and solar drying chambers.
Engine cooling method which reduces engine temperature about 75%. It acts directly on the combustion chambers or any part of the engine. It can be implemented on any combustion engine,
I introduce another type of solar-photon spacecraft, differing from the solar sail or heliofoil.
Consider a rotating cylinder rotating along an axis perpendicular to oncoming light.
The Battery Health Tester is an innovative device designed to provide quick, accurate, and cost-effective assessment of battery health. This portable, pocket-sized device is tailored for a wide range of users, including OEM workshops, local garages, R&D startups, and individual EV owners,
A food container lid that contains a cutlery incorporated into the internal part, the cutlery folds on itself so that when the lid is opened it unfolds reaching the length of the container. In the prototype I made, I designed it for a baby food container,
