These mini-generator creates electricity by the proven method of magnetic induction. It also has a back up solar component that sustains the electric output. In NYC alone there are trillions of tons of force waiting to be converted into electricity daily!
Meet Modern Sprout, the cutting edge of countertop cultivation. Our stylish, self-sustaining indoor windowsill planters are outfitted with a top-feed hydroponic system that automatically waters and feeds plants, making them perfect for space conscious city dwellers, absent-minded gardeners and armchair agrarians.
No problem has ever rounded global leaders together quite like the global energy crisis. Oil geologists and analysts have forecast the impending global Peak Oil, a point at which the maximum rate of petroleum extraction is reached, followed by irreversible decline. To date,
The Mosolver - a combined Motor and Resolver - senses position by adding a patented passive sensing circuit to the interior of the existing motor magnetic structure.
Time Capsule to Mars (TCTM), an Explore Mars project, is the world’s first and largest student-led interplanetary mission that will design, launch, and land a time capsule on the surface of Mars. We will make history by connecting humanity’s shared history with our shared destiny.
My aircraft concept is to take a single aircraft platform and turn it into as many different roles as needed by our changing combat and survailence priorities.
The promise of robots relieving humans of dangerous, dirty, and repetitive work in manufacturing remains largely unfulfilled, despite a half century of research and practice. This is because conventional robots work by controlling arm position--a surprisingly limiting mode of operation. They require repeatable parts, precise fixturing, consistent work,
New Frontier Energy Group (NFEG) is redefining power conversion. Leveraging breakthroughs in modern materials and proprietary technology, NFEG's ultra-efficient power conversion technology, the solid-state transformer (SST) and inverter, will eliminate up to 95% and even 99% of all electric conversion losses. From HVACs to hybrid vehicles;
Aim:
We have developed a Hemoglobin-Electrophoresis Biochip (HemeChip) that can rapidly, easily and conclusively identify the hemoglobin type in blood to diagnose Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in newborns.
Challenge:
About 3 million people worldwide suffer from SCD, mostly in Africa, India and the Middle East,
Historically, a long time before quantum mechanics, Lorentz suggested that some disturbances, like waves, could be transmitted with traveling particles through a certain medium without moving it. At that time, instead of careful analysis of the systematic errors,
