Most off road vehicles travel in rough terrain, so the chance of damaging the tire and tire puncture is greater. Due to this problem the work in progress can stop. Nobody wants such things to happen. During such unavoidable circumstances EMERGENCY THREE WHEEL DRIVE comes into action. For example,
Ruppell Spacetrack is an air floating maglev track for lauching a spaceship. An elevator is used to lift the spaceship to 20 km high above the Earth's surface. A long track accelerating it at 3G is used to give the spaceship enough energy to exit Earth attraction.
The Prong PocketPlug is the first mobile phone case featuring an integrated charger. The PocketPlug is optimally engineered to charge mobile phones in any standard electrical outlet without the use of charging cords or external battery packs. Instead,
Iron filing determination in tea is a need of the hour as FSSAI has introduced the limit at 150 ppm. To date there is no such equipment to measure iron filing in tea. This instrument gives a hassle-free and nondestructive technique to measure the same.
The Acetabular cup is the component which is placed into the acetabulum (hip socket). Cartilage and bone are removed from the acetabulum and the acetabular cup is attached using friction or cement. Some acetabular cups are one piece, while others are modular.
Problem: Current gas and electric hybrid vehicles only recover 4% of the kinetic energy with regenerative braking. There are ideas based on capturing wind energy by mounting a wind turbine on the roof of hybrid vehicles.
This new Invention is a Fence Identification (Warning) Device to mitigate the dire consequences, of Harm and Death, to those who otherwise would IMPACT an un-detected wire fence barrier.
This "Patent Pending" invention uses a software routine in a smart phone such as on the Android or I-Phone that controls a remote lighted animated display using LEDs, Fiber Optics, EL, or other lighted means positioned in the surface of a sign, clock,
