This device was developed to mix and regulate two different and miscible fluids, and aimed to reduce the energy consumption. The device has two simultaneous/independent functions, according to the operational needs:
It can simply mix two different fluids in any ratio from zero to 99% between them, to leave a third mixed fluid on outlet. In this case,

Streets are for people, shops, restaurants, and commerce on a human scale. Turning streets into roads for automobiles over the past century was an epic engineering and policy mistake.
Roads are the wrong networks for cities.
The past ways that students, teachers and finance experts have been taught and understand this subject have been badly biased due to political, commercial and religious doctrines. This confusion of the subject has been unfortunately regarded as making it a pseudo-science. However,

Time's up! We are in the "tipping point."
So, we're commercializing a piece of NASA R&D for generating cleansing aerosols. These naturally occurring aerosols are what moderate the levels of GHGs in our atmosphere.
Through a recent NSF Convergence Fellowship, I began modeling distribution sites for carrying the aerosols into the atmosphere and have parameters for deployment.
This automatic transmission is particularly developed to replace dual clutch transmissions which are pretty unreliable and expensive in general. This new design of power transmission from an IC engine to wheels or from electric motor to the wheels is having an advantage of fast shifting of gears without lag of power while gear transition, Highly efficient like manual transmission,
I represent a group of engineers and inventors who have a highly profitable, sustainable innovative product and who are open to negotiation to sell, share, or engage in other like agreements. This product will garner €2 million daily. The calculation is simple: if we use a generator 2,000 MW in one day,
The EXPO Engine is a proof of concept system. It was designed, built and operated for the specific purposes of demonstrating both a new IC engine configuration for the optimization of engine efficency when using a hydrogen based fuel,
