At present, smart wearable devices have become indispensable equipment for modern life. With the popularization of mobile Internet in China, the Internet of Things is also being actively promoted.
Vibration and Inertial Electro Mobile - VIMO contains several innovations that improve the energy efficiency of existing technologies:
A new system of accumulation of vibration energy, which is 4-5 times more effective than the famous GenShock.
Combined wind-turbine,
In a world of rising energy consumption, the need to efficiently minimize and contain extended energy costs cannot be overemphasized. This has led the world to thoroughly investigate electricity consumption behaviour by continuously monitoring with the aid of electric meters,
ChIMES (Chemical Identification by Magneto-Elastic Sensing) is a passive chemical sensing technology that can detect a very broad range of substances. The technology consists of a sensing element and a separate electronic package; the two components can communicate wirelessly through a metallic or nonmetallic barrier.
On wind turbines VForce® patented blade morphing technology can generate an estimated 8-20% additional electricity generation (Lindenberg et al. 2008) by operating in low wind situations.
The technology is suitable for tapered blades and is of light weight construction.
HYPOL™ JM 5013 / JB 1009 is a two-component, water-based, catalyst-free polyurethane chemistry for comfort products. Manufacturers are challenged to deliver safety, comfort and sustainability in one single product. Conventional hydrophobic polyurethanes have superior mechanical performance but lack heat- moisture management and tend to emit VOC.
This entry presents a novel technology that successfully, and inexpensively, converts bio-renewables into 93% to 100% bio based, high performance, long lasting lubricants. Oil feedstocks such as soy oil,
This innovation relates to the field of opposed piston internal combustion engines (OP-ICE) having two pistons in one cylinder configured to have facing heads. Specifically,
SOUND ENERGY HARVESTING
SOUND ENERGY:
We all know sound energy is a mechanical energy which travels in the form of a wave, a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure which needs a medium to travel i.e.
A semi-tokamak geometry as shown in the accompanying illustrations forms a current carrying magnetized plasma loop. The current is generated either by means of induction or DC biased electrodes or a combination of both.
