I present the concept of a laser pumped with electron beams from carbon nanotubes in the process of field emission of electrons. Today, commercial lasers are mainly pumped optically, for example, by coupling to laser diodes or by applying an electrical voltage, such as in laser diodes.
PROBLEM:
Free-space optical systems are generally used for "last mile" communication and can operate at distances of several kilometers long as long as there is a clear line of sight between the sender and receiver, and the optical receiver can decode the signal of the information transmitted.
Global agricultural repository is an ongoing project geared towards the eradication of food shortage and technological assistance to the farming communities world wide.
This project addresses the growing needs of farmers. Various regions of the world have specialized needs and specific resources.
As evidenced by recent events, it is a well-known fact that space debris is a growing threat to operations in space. The proliferation of satellite swarms and constellations is exponentially adding to the danger of catastrophic mission failure or debris scattering. Additionally,
With the technological advancements in the field of machinery, the industries require advanced machines for material and components handling.
An Alternative Crank Engine
This product innovation relates to the internal combustion engine and proposes a significant step forward in improving performance, fuel economy and emissions by changing the thermodynamic cycle of heat transfer into useful work whilst retaining all existing technological infrastructure and costs.
A monitoring system to allow early detection of damage to high tension power lines. Using Acoustical Emission (AE) techniques on high tension power lines for early detection of internal damage or fraying before the cable breaks.
Cable "Galloping" (low frequency, large amplitude, vibration caused by high winds),
Molten Metal Reactor Technology – Prospects in Sustainable Hydrogen Production
Globally, Hydrogen (H2) has been consumed for a variety of purposes, majorly as a feedstock or raw material and for the refining process. However, recently,
