Shoe Bottom Cleaner for Automobile Riders.
This simple shoe bottom cleanser can be mounted to the underside of an auto body to remove debris, snow, ice, mud, etc from the bottom of rider's shoe before entering the car thus keep the interior of one's car clean and sanitary.
Base oils can be classified as minerals or synthetics, depending on their source or production process. Lubricant’s world market is about 35 million tons per year and biolubricants represent approximately 1% of this total. But, the biolubricant’s market is growing at nearly 10% per year.
PROBLEM: Unless you are using an electric skillet, controlling and maintaining constant temperature of cookware on a conventional stove can be very difficult at best, requiring constant attention, especially when frying in oil as the heat load changes constantly. Also, low-temperature cooking (e.g., eggs, candies, sauces, etc.),
It is an innovative sea wave energy converter.
Although there are many systems for converting motion of the waves, this device is innovative because the particular mechanism adopted allows the conversion into electrical energy of the waves in any direction.
Introduction:
Robot is a machine to execute different task repeatedly with high precision. Thereby many functions like collecting information and studies about the hazardous sites which is too risky to send human inside. Robots are used in different types like fire fighting robot, metal detecting robot, etc.
"Hybrid Opposite Piston Engine — HOPE attempts to correct certain deficiencies of the thermodynamic cycle and of the mechanism as employed in conventional engine: The cylinder head presents big heat losses and has a complex construction; A lot of exhaust gases energy is lost doe to relatively short stroke;
This system aims to achieve storage of electricity for a traction motor through the storage of energy kinematics.
The system involves the use of two counter-rotating flywheels in carbon fiber held in place by magnetic suspension bearings.
Existing devices for hashing, crushing, separation, acceleration of heat transfer and other technological processes of vortical, vibrating, planetary centrifugal and other types have a number of serious disadvantages.
Wide application of the power stations based on use of renewable sources of energy,
UAVs can carry a huge range of tasks. So now more than 250 companies in the world are developing UAVs. But they have serious disadvantages:
1. Airplane type UAV:
- small value of the lift force per unit of engine power;
