The new processor pushes back boundaries with outstanding performance and extraordinary efficiency. Its number crunching qualities are undisputed. The 1 kHz processor (eight bit wide) delivers 18,000 petaflops of calculation. It is a system of using decimal or higher number system in processor;
Solar and wind energy are clean and renewable but their energy content is both low and costly to store. A two-mirror solar Stirling engine (SE) design could be a major step towards the high efficiency (>
The laws of physics restrict the rotational speeds of traditional large generators due to the increased centrifugal forces. Hoover Dam generators run at around 1.5 - 2.0 Hz.;
Dynamic Energy Technologies has patented a means of utilizing vehicle ride motion to generate electrical power. This electrical energy downloads the inefficient ICE/alternator combination. A 90% efficient alternator powered by a 20% average duty cycle ICE gas engine wastes 82% of the fuel consumed when producing electrical energy.
Electric Generating Turbo, EGT, is comprised of a turbine, the turbine wheel, the shaft, a rotor, stator and a set of neodymium rare earth magnets. The unique feature of our invention is the custom designed generator application.
This idea is inspired by MIT's small jumping robot cubes and the decades old technology used to orientate satellites in orbit.
This is a Tachometer- which works on the principle of Stroboscope. It is pocket size, 2 Nos. AA size battery operated, optical, non-contact type, which can be used for remotely viewing of blades of a RUNNING turbine of an aircraft while on the ground in an airfield.
This PROJECT reviews and provides clarification to the meaning and concept of cloud computing with particular reference to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and its underlying virtualization technologies.
This is my second innovation to save human lives.
Concept of nails chassis for hill accidents. Every day we hear news of vehicle fallen from hills or bridges. But still we have no solution to stop these accidents and save lives of human beings.
