This machine picks up to 18 inches of top soil (9 feet wide) with a vibrating blade. It is fed onto a conveyor belt that feeds soil into a set of disks that breaks it up. Then it is fed into a microwave oven on a continues conveyor belt,
Quality is one of the issues affecting the performance and safety of all products no matter if in the Aerospace, Automotive or Medical Devices or any other products, when the life and safety of human life quality is one of the key factors being investigated to find the root cause of the problem.
As the technology changes,
The present invention is a hill holder device for a vehicle manual transmission. This includes a selectable bidirectional clutch which is coupled to the output shaft of the transmission box. The selectable bidirectional clutch has an inner race secured to the output shaft of the transmission, and an outer race secured to the vehicle transmission case.
In normal house hold water supplies, most of the cost of water purification rises because of the ultra violet technology used in water purification.
The attached image explains the concept.
Water lens: Simply take a cellophane sheet, and put water on it. Water will bend the sheet, and take a parabolic shape of a lens on its own!
We have seen Hybrid cars being developed by various OEMs. As an innovation, for developing market such as India, 2-wheelers / motorbikes having the bigger market share, I did my final year bachelor's project on Hybrid Motorbike. I believe,
Having sensitive skin requires the proper selection of a razor. Even if you grow a beard you must, from time-to-time, touch-up the growth of “unwanted hair. For example, on your neck, your cheeks or your chin. I believe for men, that the most sensitive area to shave is the neck. For women,
In manufacturing industries, shearing machines are used in wide range to cut the plates and sheets. The principle of the shearing machine is shearing action between two cutting edges. In our project we are using pneumatic cylinders as actuators for shearing the work; in addition multiple blades (tools) are place on the upper and lower dies.
The Turbo-Cooling system (TCS) is a system for reducing engine charge air temperature to below ambient levels. Thermodynamically it is an air-cycle cooling system, which provide the charge air cooling function for a turbocharged gasoline or diesel engine. Charge air temperatures as low as -10 degC can be achieved &
Nowadays, many engineering concepts have come up with bright ideas, but the common people cannot handle the financial assistance for bringing them to reality. We designed a multi powered cycle which is very low cost and can run by pedaling and solar powered sources.
A lot of action is taking place to find 100LL replacement for GA aircrafts. This includes EPA testing four new unleaded fuel blends and some aircraft manufacturers installing compression ignition engines that will use Jet A fuel.
In my opinion there is a simple alternative that will substantially reduce conversion cost &
