There a long history of space vehicles which use boosters to enable a smaller vehicle to reach greater performance. Stages can also help a business plan for aerospace. Private space ventures often wind up on the rocks of bankruptcy. Horizontal launch is often considered the worst case for development costs,
A new revolutionary patent pending solar technology that increases the power of a solar panel by as much as 200 times, while simultaneously storing the energy in the form of hydrogen for later use, has been invented and developed.
An electron has both wavelike and particle properties.
In recent years there has been a shortage in energy supply like fossil fuel and concerns about environmental issues. Considering only 10-16% of fuel energy burned by the engines is used to drive the vehicles, we developed an innovative energy harvesting absorber to regenerate electricity from vibrations in the suspension system usually wasted as heat in oil shock absorbers.
In the present day scenario, the exhaust emission problem has reached its alarming condition because of the number of vehicles increasing every year and its effect on the developing countries are troublesome.
SOx, NOx, CO, UBHC(Unburnt hydrocarbons) and soot can enhance allergens, also long term exposure decreases lung functioning and risk of respiratory symptoms increases.
US Patent # 8,881,326, granted 3/31/2015
Hull speed is a fundamental limitation of conventional displacement mode hull forms which occurs due to the coupling of the bow wave with the vessel's waterline length. With the exception of long, narrow and light hull forms, which are commercially impractical,
Software development is an important aspect of Computer Science, and as such there are many strategies, techniques and programs which aim to formalise and structure this process. This issue becomes more complex when development is carried out in large global teams which is "rapidly becoming the norm for technology companies" [1].
"Legit" is a distributed code review tool,
In this modern world the use of cars are increased due to its luxurious and comfort ride. For that a proper safety system is to be used. Currently air bags are used as a safety system in all cars. In that I have an innovative idea to replace the air bags in a cost effective manner.

The design describes a 40-passenger commuter aircraft that has VTOL/STOL capabilities. It has a cruising speed of 400mph and a range of 1000 miles.
The aircraft would open up under-served areas in the United States as well as countries that do not have infrastructure (runways, airports etc.).
Today, with the actual crisis, all Governments are reducing medical expenses for health assistance treatments. The French Health Department asserts that more than 300,000 people suffer from Polyarthritis, for which only sedatives are prescribed and more than 4.5Mill are Asthma sufferers.
