Proposal: Durable, Low-Cost Electric Vehicle with Solar Panel and Battery Cooling System
The proposed solution aims to develop a highly durable and cost-effective electric vehicle (EV) capable of long-distance travel at a nominal speed.
Millions of people all over the world experience tinnitus with very little traditional medicine can do. However, alleviating tinnitus could be accomplished with a device that would draw a small vacuum between the device and the tympanic membrane, ear drum, slightly changing the shape of the ear drum.
Nowadays, various devices for open-loop monitoring in vehicles can be found. These devices consist of multiple video recording cameras; some even include audio recording systems. Due to the complexity of real-time monitoring of individuals, their interactions, moods, fatigue estimates, etc.
This power plant uses the landscape in three ways to create power that can be regulated keeping surges at a minimum. The power plant is adjacent to an area were deep water is on one side and lower land or water on the other.
Since the introduction of water cooling to offroad performance motorcycles in 1981 [1], the most integral part of engine thermal management has remained unchanged. The traditional design of radiators uses winding louvers to exchange heat with the surrounding air in repeated zigzagging patterns (shown in Figure 1).
Green-energy startup Planck Energies is developing a nanofibrious biopaint as a passive cooling coating. This product will improve building energy efficiency by reducing reliance on air conditioning systems. Crucially, this product will also offer low-cost cooling for populations in less industrialized, low income,
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tik-Tok, etc...have just made clear that 8 billion people, EVERYDAY, need to share something with others. While the digital platform is comfortable to use, it will never replace the pleasure to meet physically other people, other "human being" people.
The meeting points of today,
Today, many cotton crops are dying as a result of poor quality and non-distribution of entomophages by hand for biological control of pests in cotton fields in our country.
We have created special equipment for the distribution of entomophagola. It attaches to a drone or tractor unit.
Today, technology is available to transform transportation. Our all-electric National Transit Service™ (NTS) is an automated nationwide ‘door-to-door’ service to be implemented in stages across the U.S., beginning with the gridlocked urban areas in which 80% of our population live.
Numerous studies indicate that the potential of autonomous vehicles (AVs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce traffic congestion, and increase mobility access can only be fully realized through fleets of electric vehicles being used for shared rides. This has the potential for transforming the public transport industry,
