The greatest challenge in the field of aviation is to meet the growing concern of depleting fuel source for efficient propulsion of the vehicle. The advanced propulsion techniques look at tackling the challenges with an innovative aero engine.
The aim is to propel an aircraft with a ground based laser beam. The laser tracks the aircraft in flight,
Two common features are generally found with every human activity: the presence of light, either from the sun or man made sources, and the presence of fibers, such as in the clothes we wear. Now imagine if the fibers making our clothes are efficient converters of light into energy. This would not only help make individuals more energy independent,
SmartWaY is a project whose main objective is the creation of accessible and affordable solutions for vehicle diagnostics using the latest technologies.
Required components:
- Bluetooth OBD2-adapter (required for data transmission from the Electronic Control Unit vehicle to a smartphone),
- Smartphone with Android (iOS or WP8 in the future),
- The software for the smartphone (development currently in progress).
This is Wireless Solar Panel Heated Windshield Wiper Blade.
It is easy to install. Its performance is much better than Wire Heated Windshield Wiper Blade. There is no electric wire or hot water tube. The Solar Panel saves and makes power, and then makes the frame and rubber warm. When it is snowing or freezing,
Paradoxically, the idea that underlies “On the Origin of Species,” written by Charles Darwin comes from geology. Just as rivers have created large geological formations so natural selection has created animals with an optimal configuration, relative to the environment in which they live.
The huge amount of smoke the Internal Combustion Engine of an automobile (truck/car/bus) bellows, versus the clean ride we all enjoy on a bicycle, made me think of a cleaner source of energy to run the automobile which is not dependent on any sort of crude, not even on the Renewable Energy sources of the Sun, Hydro,
Of a city’s total electricity consumption, more than 25% of the power is just consumed by the very basic need for air conditioning–to keep the temperature inside offices, homes, malls, shopping complexes, hypermarkets, cinema halls, factory complexes – at an ambient temperature for comfortable working, living and leisure.
Hydrobine Farm.
Hydroelectric power has been in service for over a century, but its origin, the water wheel, has been around for thousands of years. The ever increasing demand for renewable energies has encouraged engineers to find more ways to extract energy from the environment. One recent development is the Hydro Turbine aka.
This is a full metal cover hybrid windshield wiper blade. It is a new design that is covered full world first. And, it consists of less parts. It is easy to manufacture. In addition, the even pressure distribution wave is shorter so, it gives you best initial wiping and best durability.
Increase in TERRORISM, THREATS & UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES calls for High Mobility CIVILIAN SECURITY MANAGEMENT.
