Solar Panels offer one of the most sustainable and clean forms of energy. Substantial progress in developing cell technologies has both raised the efficiency of the cells and lowered their cost. However, solar is still facing barriers that prevent it from becoming a viable alternative to fossil fuel.
This invention is about keeping track of commercial aircraft that support air traffic; passenger jetliners to transport people and cargo planes to transport goods. At present, when these aircraft take-off from runways, their flights are monitored by attendants in flight control towers for a brief interval, approximately 30 minutes.
My invention (US patent 8,689,766, patent pending in Poland, see attached illustrations) provides the optimal form of internal combustion spherical engine, i.e. an engine with substantially spherical working chamber. The engine construction is based on a specific form of the spherical four bar mechanism that I invented.
My idea will enable people to live in a world which is better and more efficient ..The homes which make them peaceful...comfortable..people living in their homes like living in Heaven...
Nowadays HOME AUTOMATION is being done around the entire globe,
The increasing demand for electricity and limited supply of fuel calls for the need of alternative sources of energy. Through this project, we display a method to light up the street lights and suburbs close to highways by extracting the impulse energy on the speed bumps by the automobiles.
VTOL Technologies is a high-technology, aerospace business developing lightweight (less than 20kg) Beyond Visual Line Of Sight [BVLOS] low-altitude (below 500’) aerial inspection solutions for all types of network-based industry, using our unique, patented VTOL Flying Wing Remotely Piloted Aircraft System [RPAS] architecture.
We all are afraid what will happen if all the fossil fuels are finished. This engine gives a better solution for this problem. This engine uses compressed air as the working fluid. Air is taken from the atmosphere and is compressed using a compressor.
Following independence, India viewed education as an effective tool for bringing social change through community development. The Indian government lays emphasis on primary education up to the age of fourteen years, referred to as elementary education in India.
Though all engines produces power, not all of them are fully utilised for the vehicle's performance. Nearly half of thus produced power is wasted. The torque produced above the mean torque line of the engine is considered to be excess energy which is wasted.
CONCEPT:
The concept of this project is that the whole details of a vehicle can be stored in a chip and this chip can be accessed only by the police to collect the entire details easily and quickly even if the vehicle is moving.
