OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
To bring refrigeration and air conditioning by using heat pipes alone in domestic refrigeration and air conditioning systems instead of using heat pipes in combination with evaporator and condenser coils and compressor.
The main aim of the project is to prevent accidents that is increasing day by day on the roads. The GPS with micro controller detects the accident black spots that has been preloaded in the memory matching with current latitudes and longitudes.
The objective of this system is to develop a proof of concept model to demonstrate the use of the system for spontaneous advertisement/circular using wireless communication based on RF module- nRF24L01. This is implemented with Atmega16 development board interfaced with RF module and LED matrix for displaying the data.
The main aim of this topic is to introduce the concept of reusing the external tank of a space shuttle. To achieve this we are proposing to use Thermal Protection System (TPS) in conjunction with a High Temperature Heat Shield (HTHS).
Quasiturbine engine
The Quasiturbine (Qurbine) is a « Positive Displacement » turbine alternative.
Suitable as a double-circuits Rotary Motor or Expander for compressed air, steam and other fluids, or (later) as an advanced Internal Combustion Rotary Engine, as well as (later) for Compressor of various thermodynamic cycles.
Continuous Deposition Arc Foaming is a Geomimetic 3D Printing process that allows for large-scale production of stochastic foams of a variety of materials including glass, metal, cermet, and fullerenes. Proof-of-Concept has been achieved by nature with fulgurite.
Products & Services
Unique, flexible, platform suspension technology suitable for mass manufacture, helps enable the lowest carbon emission, fully enclosed, fully powered, manned road vehicle. Achieved by IP for space and parking efficient, narrow, small frontal area, low aerodynamic drag, ultra-compact, fully enclosed, tilting, ultra-lightweight, tandem seat,
I have a design that uses a solar panel to convert sunlight into electricity that is stored in a sealed lead-acid (SLA) battery. The power from the battery is then used in the evenings to power LED lighting. LEDs and solar power go well together.
INTERNAL COMPRESSION MOTOR
I have a patent on a motor that generates compressed air that is used to run. The attached file (video)
shows the workings of the motor, the sequence is as follows.
Most vehicles currently have a practical Fuel Efficiency of about 15%. In other words, of the total heat energy contained in fuel, only about 15% of it is put to use in moving the vehicle. However,
