The White Star electric toothbrush is a product that is aimed at making kids enjoy brushing their teeth. At the heart of the concept is the notion of helping others, so for every brush sold, one is donated to those less fortunate. I believe parents are prepared to pay more for aproduct that is both better, technically and environmentally,
The adoption of EV (electric vehicle) to replace ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle is being discouraged by range anxiety because its battery power takes very longer to recharge compare to 5 minute in filling up the gas tank of an ICE vehicle or worst, it may not even find a charging station.
Heat Pipes are used as a simple way to reduce temperature inequities and transport heat from hot to colder parts of aerospace structures. By choosing an adequate heat transport mean, arrangement, and thickness, heat pipes could have the added value of shielding crews from ionizing radiation coming from space,
A concept specially suited for concrete, ferro-cement, or other one-piece hulls. If hull is built with double walls, a thick wall in the outer side, exposed to elements, and a thinner in the inner side, separated by a few centimetres, if the space between outer and inner hull is divided into cells,
Imagine a paintbrush that could change sizes as needed while in the middle of a painting job. You just imagined the MultiBrush. The MultiBrush appears to be a normal 2" paintbrush, but when needed, it separates into 2 individual smaller brushes. A 3/4" and a 1 1/4" brush. Theses smaller brushes can be used to do the detail work,
g-EN CO2 Engine harnesses inexhaustible ambient or waste heat and converts it to useful mechanical power, delivers more power than ICE (internal combustion engine) at the same size without burning hydrocarbon fuels, hence no greenhouse gas emissions.
833.5 million or about two-thirds of the Indian population still live in rural areas which are mostly devoid of sophisticated medical technologies accessible by their urban counterparts. Unlike cities, the process of childbirth and other pregnancy-related issues are largely handled by midwives which are often not accurate.
In the importance of wind power generation, many types of wind turbine model were developed. The present horizontal axis wind turbines required yaw control mechanism to orient the blades into the wind direction for maximum power generation. This requires additional accessories and increasing the complexity of system.
The proposed Jelly fish wind turbine’
NANO LEAVES
Nano leaves convert the visible spectrum of light and also convert invisible light, known as infrared light or radiation. Due to the unique abilities of Nano antenna electromagnetic collectors in these Nano leaves which convert visible and mid-infrared radiation into electricity, the energy harvesting continues hours after the sun has set.
The more wind,
Localization of power generation holds the key to the future. When I speak of localization it is not about bringing it down to a single establishment but bringing it down to a community, a locality or a village. A hybrid renewable energy system is a good example. What we have built is a Solar Wind Hybrid System.
