In developing countries and under developed countries desert air coolers are used. Most people are cannot afford water cooling systems. The main goal of this project is to infuse water cooling system with desert air cooler, by doing this the cost and space occupied are reduced drastically with both systems combined.
Rocket launch to space is expensive – typically thousands of dollars per pound. But now there is an alternative. High-force magnetic levitation makes it possible to construct a circular accelerator – the “Launch Ring” – with the potential to launch multiple payloads per hour into orbit at far lower cost.
The conceptual design,
Our product, the Smart Adaptive e-bike, will be a modern way of transport for daily commutes. It is under design and initial stage of simulation & prototyping. We are designing the bike to be similar to the other e-bikes in structure with some additional features includes power pedal assist and power to cost model (i.e.
Urban Telecom Node
A rising and sustained use of telecommunications, both commercial and personal, has been beneficial yet demanding on financial resources on providers and consumers alike. Energy consumption for 24/7 transmission is a nominal part of this circumstance.
The specialized aircraft engine software development for the aerospace industry is high demand. With the information that I knew, the common purposes for developing computational model include proof of engine cycle concept, testing of operability, testing the performance of the aircraft engine or provide a platform for the control system to be designed around.
I propose developing a miniature electronic device that measures temperature, chest (lung and heart) movements, and oxygen saturation. This device would be placed on the chest of the monitored person.
The monitor is to be equipped with motion sensors (3D accelerometer, 3D gyroscope and 3D magnetometer, as well as a thermometer and oxygen saturation sensor.
It was shown by medical researchers that harmful biological matters such as infected blood with HIV/Aids virus can be treated or reduced or disinfected by exposing the matters to high voltage electrical fields.
Smart Personalized IoT based Contact less Rapid Health Diagnostics Pods with App Based Reservation with Virtual Monitoring by Health Care Professionals for Pandemic Control. The power demand is met by solar powered batteries.
The outer structure of the pod is built by recycled plastic with a sensor door made of fiber operated by QR provided to the App.
This muffler is basically a combination of absorptive and reflective type and has 3 layers.
The inner one content a converging and diverging type of venturi with holes on it and a flap (can be a rhodium/palladium) in between the C/D venturi which diverts the exhaust gases.
