TOPIC: Improvements in On-Road-Vehicles takes inspiration from Aerofoil Sections and Ekranoplans.
As per Illustration 1- principles of Ekranoplan can be used to reduce fuel consumption of vehicles- like trucks- by reducing their effective weight, which would lead to reduction in friction, which in turn, would lead to reduction in traction torque,
This project based on agriculture is intended to create an automated irrigation mechanism which turns the pumping motor ON and OFF on detecting the moisture content of the soil. In the domain of farming, utilization of appropriate means of irrigation is significant. The benefit of employing these techniques is to decrease human interference and still make appropriate irrigation.
At present, the mileage (distance coverage) for two wheeler claimed by the manufacturer is based on the fixed laboratory testing conditions. Many factors such as individual driving pattern, traffic condition, road condition, load, speed condition, petrol level, and terrain will affect the mileage of the vehicle to a greater extent.
The conventional fuel tank has a single chamber and the drying up of fuel is a common issue encountered by the commuter class. In such a case, one has to either push the vehicle to the fuel refilling station or else buy the fuel in a plastic bottle.
THE HIGH TECH TOILET/ TOILET AND BIDET SYSTEM
POTENTIAL BUSINESS:
If a small percentage of bathrooms in new construction will use this new HIGH TECH TOILET and if a small percentage of the MILLIONS of existing bathrooms replace the existing toilet, it will create more than a BILLION dollars business.
