If you have to maintain a lawn anyway, why not harvest it for energy? The personal lawn harvester coverts lawn turf to pellet fuel that can be used for home heating or power generation.
The mower is powered by the grass pellets it harvests, so you never have to fuel it.
Usually we use an odometer as a standard to change the oil, change the engine belt, change the coolant liquid etc. For example, we change engine oil every 5000km or 1000km, we change the alternator belt every 40000km etc. There is the possibility, however, that the engine is running but the car isn’t moving.
Biogas is one of the alternative energies that has been widely applied to the community, especially for the farm. Of the various types of gas contained in the biogas, methane is the energy source with a composition ranging from 40-70%. If the concentration of methane in the biogas called ”filter biogas.
Introduction – When we are going to a place by plane, there is always a chance for the plane to crash. If a plane crashes, then there is a lot of chaos and the passengers fight for a single parachute, after all everyone wants to save their own life.
DARING CROSS – THE NEXT GREATEST WONDER OF THE WORLD
Daring Cross is a groundbreaking invention that is both a functional, over-water transportation bridge as well as a tourist attraction and hub for recreation and commerce. Dating Cross borrows from a basic, elementary engineering concept: the seesaw.
You pay a lot more for a piece of fresh salmon at the supermarket, so that it is, of course, of your interest to know if it is really fresh, i.e., always being kept at low temperature during transportation and storage (so called cold chain).
A small piece of label,
Absences of permanent magnets, high fault tolerant, low cost and competitive weight, are some of the key features of the Linear Switched Reluctance Motor, hereafter LSRM. The aim of this project is to develop an LSRM drive system for mass rapid transit system (MRTS).
Coeliac diseas is a genetically determined disorder in which affected individuals show intolerance to ingested gluten. Gluten is a complex mixture of cereal proteins (prolamins and glutenins) and other constituents. Exposure of coeliacs to the prolamins (wheat, barley and rye) may result in damage to the mucosa of the small intestine, producing a variety of symptoms, typically including malnutrition,
Coral reefs are complex ecosystems and have very high diversity found in shallow marine waters in the tropics. They are composed of biological activity that is deposit CaCO3 which is produced by the Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa, and the Order Scleractinia. The presence of coral reefs affected by environmental stresses such as natural disasters, sedimentation from the watershed,
Based upon university research, the electro-less 3D Micro-liter incubator array can be deployed and distributed to organizations in the developing world to mitigate pandemics and accelerate vaccine development in the developed world.
This device overcomes limitations of current designs by harnessing micro-fluidic phenomena to strictly regulate individual cellular culture conditions, work in parallel,
