LCD displays can look quite cool, but they still lack the 3D features of mechanical watches, and ordinary meters in cars for example.
In addition, there are different display types that have different positive attributes, such as electronic ink, which conserves power and is easy to read on for long times.
This generator uses solar and/or electricity supply from power holding company of Nigeria (PHCN) to charge battery which is connected to the inverter for alternating current output. the generator does not use Diesel oil, petrol or any other hydrocarbon fuel as it does not as well, use an internal or external combustion engines.It is a stationary, silent,
RE-PLY electric scooter is designed as a last-mile transport solution. It's a suitable companion in the city environment due to its weight, dimensions and auxiliary electric drive.
This is a completely different philosophy, compared to the existing solutions. Instead of using a heavy powertrain, there is a light LiPo battery placed inside the neck of the scooter.
It is quite inefficient to have a whole train and all i's passengers stop at every station, even though only a small fraction of passengers enter and leave on each station. Also, express trains have the drawback of not being able to take on and leave passengers on a lot of stations.

A simple beacon / receiver unit momentarily interrupts a vehicles audio system when a motorcycle approaches, emitting a brief pre-recorded message, tone, light or combination to alert vehicle drivers a motorcycle is in the immediate vicinity to prevent collisions.
What would a super fuel-efficient aircraft look like; how far can we refine its aerodynamics; and what kind of performances, load capability and comfort can we expect from it?
The AGA-33 is a 250-passenger fuel-efficient twinjet that is optimized for 6000 km transatlantic missions. This aircraft will be constructed using known materials and mature technologies.
Did you ever think that buying a new so called “green” vehicle even with lower carbon monoxide emissions would eventually contribute to global warming?

An automobile spark ignition (SI) engine is most efficient at heavy load operating condition that comes rarely. It runs mostly at low load conditions when the fuel efficiency worsens. At regular drive conditions, VariPhase engine is at least 100% more fuel efficient than the conventional SI engines.
Car Parking Booked System is a new way to book a parking area through your smartphone or by website. You have to register to make an ID before you make a reservation to get your parking spot. Just show your reservation ID to a parking officer and they will give you a ticket to enter the area.
