Biogas digester technology can provide energy needs of local government operations by producing methane. About 1.7 cubic meters of biogas equals one liter of gasoline; the manure produced by ONE cow in one year can be converted to the methane equivalent of over 200 liters of gasoline. Cattle,
We have developed a novel wind turbine that overcomes the solidity limitation of conventional designs, by opening the center of the rotor which allows to increase the number of blades without incurring loss of efficiency. According to our design,
The greatly improved efficiency, power to weight ratio, production costs, emissions, and fuel economy of contemporary Wankel Rotary Combustion Engines allows for its participation in many more uses. So does the progresses accomplished in hydraulic engines, hydraulic power transmission and output devices. In this frame,
Pottery is one of the oldest traditions of our country. We have been doing it right from the start of the civilizations. The number of people still carrying out these activities has been declining from the start of mid twentieth century and the number continues to grow thinner.
Problem:- We all know that the electric vehicles are more efficient than the oil burning vehicles. They make less noise and are pollution free. But electric vehicles are not frequently used in day to day life.
Reasons:
1. One cannot use electric vehicles on the go.
Reduction of Air/Wind Energy Transfer to High Speed Trains
Vehicle designs have traditionally incorporated linear shapes to reduce aerodynamic forces. I.e. base region pressure drag, parasite drag, wake vortex shedding and pressure rise at underpasses and tunnels. However, wind is a non-linear force that increases vehicle instabilities,
This design is a mobile micro-lab (MML) empowering individuals and remote health care providers with rapid, frequent and inexpensive access to vital health status information previously requiring long waits, fees and invasive procedures or denied by insurance.
Ever wondered if computers can solve your health ailments? Yes, I propose a model to bring that into reality by taking advantage of analytics and networked doctors. This model calls for a care-for-society attitude from doctors to handle a few cases free-of-cost. However,
