You might have heared about gesture controlled, augement controlled vehicles. Now image controlling your car using your mind. Here I have used the EEG sensor to record the mind waves and develop some algorithms by which the car movement can be easily controlled by means of our mind. More the no of EEG electrode.
The pump takes the water from the tank and pushes it to turn the cupped wheel then the water returns to the tank, so it never runs out of water.The cupped wheel turns the turbine creating electricity to operate the pressure pump and have enough electricity to power other electric devices.
Over 65% of the electrical energy used today is generated by burning fossil fuels, such coal, natural gas or petroleum.
However, due to stricter regulations concerning carbon dioxide emissions and higher costs of hydrocarbon fuel sources, electrical energy generation from renewable will likely replace traditional fossil-fuel-based technologies.
Unfortunately, wind turbines require heavy towers, foundations, and large blades,
ABSTRACT:
In India alone number of accidents takes place due to small negligence in driving. Among the careless driving comes the unretracted stand.The unretract stand causes major accidents in roads for the rider and fellow road users. There are many mechanical system’s such as pneumatics, servo motors and other component’s used to retract the stands.
The necessity for constant humidity and temperature inside the amputee prosthetic socket is an actual problem for amputees. Rise in the temperature and humidity increase the chance of ulcerations because of the medium of friction inside the liners. For this reason, a socket capable to control the humidity and the temperature was built.
Such a big flying car would be big and heavy so need a lot of wing area, it means big and long wings to provide enough lift needed for flying. The wings aerodynamics lift center must be near the plane mass center, so wings must be not far from the middle of airplane body in practice.
Over-The-Air Programming (OTA) based engine management updating system along with mutual data sharing with OEM's for vital performance monitoring.
We are surrounded by technology and automobile is no exception. We have seen it evolving from a simple piece of means of transportation to a high tech state of art product.
This project started as a final thesis on aerospace engineering bachelor's degree. The objective was to create something that could be built with current technologies and promoted and motivated further development on electric vehicles.
Trasgo can achieve the same speed and manoeuvres as any internal combustion aerobatic aircraft.
Potholes and manhole covers are a huge annoyance for every driver. Potholes require a full crew, time and equipment to repair. Manhole covers often aren't in line with the pavement and can't be covered with blacktop in order to maintain serviceability.

The DCLP, Digital Color Light Pen is a pen size tool for comparing Color using a digital number as reference. There are three implementations of this tool: (1) using a look-up chart to identify the color comparison, (2) using an internal microprocessor with a built in look-up calibration table, (3) using a smart phone or iPhone APP.
