Displacement: The engine will have a total displacement of 200 cc, divided equally between the two cylinders (100 cc each).
Pistons: The pistons will be designed to move in a linear-rotary motion. This means that they will have a linear motion (up and down) like in a traditional piston engine,
In the domain of flight, one of the main supporters of worldwide carbon dioxide discharges, the quest for practical options in contrast to conventional petroleum product controlled airplane has prodded a scope of imaginative ideas and advances. Electric airplane, however encouraging in their capability to decrease emanations, as of now face limits in speed and reach,
In the realm of aviation, one of the most significant contributors to global carbon dioxide emissions, the pursuit of viable alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-powered aircraft has spurred a range of innovative concepts and technologies. Electric aircraft, though promising in their potential to reduce emissions, currently face limitations in speed and range,
ATOM-1.0 Humanoid Robot Vision.
It is important in today's modern age of technology to have pioneers pushing forward to reach greater achievements. The robotics pioneer must have a vision, determination and not be easily discouraged by lack of project funding or criticism. Without great tech thinkers whose vision been before their time, where would our current technology stand.
This entry concerns the safety of life on the planet. It proposes action to improve our awareness of potential threats from near earth objects in space by asserting the need for an early warning scanning capability that covers all directions.
The recent 2017 discovery of ‘Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object to enter our solar system, is pertinent.

Throughout my life the roof of the house I live in has been updated three times. A similar situation can be observed in my neighbors. The roof, made of slate, is not immune from cats that jump on it, hunting for birds and mice, over time it cracks and needs to be replaced.
The known vertical-axis Darrieus rotors have a number of advantages over horizontal-axis turbines.
All the heaviest parts (generator, multiplier, brakes) are located below, on the surface of the earth.
There is no need to turn the turbine against the wind. The Darrieus rotor works in any wind direction.
The blade profile is symmetrical and has no twist.
Eyesight is one of the essential human senses, and it plays a significant role in human perception about the surrounding environment. The issue of visual impairment or blindness is faced worldwide. According to statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment or blindness,
Electric vehicles are rapidly increasing in the global market. Most electric vehicles have adopted a reducer, which is a double reduction gear set. Although the traction motor of an electric vehicle has a wide rotational speed range, the reducer has the disadvantages of lowering the efficiency of the motor operating region and limiting the maximum vehicle speed.
