DIRECT ENERGY CONVERTOR — THERMIONIC TRANSISTOR
Direct conversion of thermal energy to electric energy remains one of the most promising, yet challenging, methods of power production.
Direct thermal to electric energy conversion has potential to replace internal combustion engines and turbines in nearly all electrical applications,
The first graphic shows storm wave energy up to 7 kw per meter of wavefront for Lake Erie. These storm waves cause millions of dollars of damage along the shorelines and climate change is making them more violent every year.
6G will be much faster than 5G and will use submillimeter waves. On one hand, the higher frequency will support broader bandwidth. On the other hand, because of atmospheric absorption,
Horizontal K type configuration is new type of configuration designed for an internal combustion engine.
In this configuration, 4 cylinders are present per crankpin in the shape of "K" with its vertical side parallel to the ground. The positioning of cylinders is based on the multi-body simulation results.
Far in the depths of Earth’s oceans, a vary diversity of life call the abyss home. Often times life below can be more alien to us on the surface than the ones we imagine amongst the cosmos,
In the fight against cardiovascular (CV) diseases, scientists focus on the identification of individuals at a higher risk of developing CV events within 10 years, in order to concentrate preventive efforts on these subjects.
The fuelless generator just as the name implies is a power generating system that doesn’t require any kind of fuel for its operation. The fuelless generator technology has been in existence for some time now but there hasn’t been known large scale application of this technology. However,
CryoRAC is a proposed design for an innovative air conditioning system that works on radiative cooling utilizing cryogenic liquids. The radiation mode of heat transfer is an easier method of cooling compared to convection mode as in the traditional air conditioner. Radiative cooling provides preferential cooling for hotter objects.
1 ton of coated magazine paper consumes over 15 trees and 1 ream of paper (which is 500 sheets), and will use 5% of a tree to be manufactured. When you consider how many magazines, newspapers and office papers are used or printed and distributed across the world,
