Lubricants are widely used in modern technology in order to reduce friction in moving mechanisms of motors, bearings, gears, etc. and to reduce friction in the machining of structural and other materials in machine tools (turning, milling, grinding, etc.). In terms of production and use,
THE PROBLEM:
Ozone layer depletion is a well known problem. Not necessary to write too much about it. If You need more info, please visit the NASA web site, You will be informed.
I'll write about the solution.
For decades the scientific world has been dreaming of building enough 100 Megawatt OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) power plants to fill the oceans. Why not take the power from the world’s largest solar collector (the ocean)? Near the equator, the warm water provides power to generate electricity,
The design objective was to design a vehicle for the next generation (Generation Z) for the world's largest cities of the future.
The Vehicle is designed around the city of Tokyo for the year 2025, with the aim at bringing excitement back into the commuter's day to day travels.

StreetStick, is a modern LED fixture for street lighting, lighting of outdoor spaces, parks, bicycle paths and others with high efficiency, long life and minimalist compact design that meets the most demanding requirements. It can be easily implemented into the higher-controlling systems,
The proposed concept is a jet engine harnessing the advantages and amplifying characteristic of two or more linear combustions taking place inside the engine all together at the same time. The engine is composed of a combustor as usual,
My idea is for a tethered electric powered UAV with coaxial rotors that could be made in various sizes and powered by the ground through the tether so it stay up for days at a time.
THE PROBLEM:
Physical therapy has an important role in public health. Millions of US dollars are spent every year for physical therapy to help people recover from injuries, help the elderly in chronical pain and help correct muscle growth and posture for children. Medical devices for electrotherapy,
Summary
Since the environmental movement took hold of automobiles, designs have been refining to ever more lightweight, gas reducing models with some even providing new forms of fuel. The world has been introduced to electric automobiles as well as solar powered and hybrid fuel cell models.
