We have developed a groundbreaking power system that leverages current MIT research to turn scrap aluminum into a highly efficient, safe fuel source.
Aluminum has an incredibly high energy density, double that of gasoline and an order of magnitude greater than lithium-ion. However,
Nigeria is in dire need of an alternative and sustainable drying system. This is to reduce wastage during harvest and enhance it's target on mechanizing agriculture, especially in terms of rice production. In view of this, a modern hybrid solar dryer is designed,
Function – It is a circular internal combustion engine. Pistons are attached to a pair of rotating wheels (flywheels) connected to a central driveshaft. The pistons rotate in separate channels, one for combustion and one for compression which encircle the assembly.
Building on the Heavy Duty Aftermarket Super Truck project and the patented Air Management System that delivers up to 10% fuel savings, 50% reduced under-hood heat and restores 65+ horsepower from electrifying the cooling system – comes a new revolutionary solution for the transportation industry.
The crankshaft is a key part moving in the internal combustion engine. It converts the reciprocating piston movement into rotary motion. It is exposed to different forces resulted from the pistons pressures, friction, bending stresses and others.
Loro is a smart, caring, playful, cool, and personalized companion for wheelchair users, that can see, speak, listen and learn by artificial intelligence and machine learning. The system will be able to monitor users' health status in real-time and provide reminders for medication and tasks.
Commercial nanoelectronics device manufacturing is very expensive, with fabrication facilities costing up to 17 billions and requiring massive quantities of water and power. The cost of the next fabrication in Taiwan is projected to reach $20 billion. Meanwhile,
One of mankind’s most recent and important daily requirements, electricity, comes from exhaustible and non-renewable sources of energy like nuclear energy, natural gas, fossil fuels, petroleum products, etc. To cater to this problem, among other problems, an innovative method of hybrid energy generation has been developed.
The first classical transistor was invented at Bell Labs in 1947, which gave rise to the electronics industry of the 20th century. However, Moore’s law – which has described the rapid technological developments of this industry – will soon come to an end.
