In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) or to protect Earth against the fatal effects of global warming, several solutions are recommended by researchers and the industrialists all over the world.
So as an engineer, I promote solar electric vehicles for economic and ecological means of transportation.
What is a tablet now? A device for reading the eBooks! A device for internet surfing & checking our emails! A game console!
Wait!? I've had all of these facilities! I need something different! But now I must pay more money for the portable and wireless capabilities!
A practical electric vehicle direct drive traction motor must be capable of accelerating into traffic from rest, be able to run at highway speeds, be capable of regenerative breaking and running in reverse. Such a motor must be brushless since using brush slip rings to feed current to a rotor is inefficient and require high maintenance.
ATOM - The key shaped multitool that puts a tool box in your pocket.
Market Need: Multitools are convenient products that offer a versatile array of hand tools and functions in a single unit. However, traditional multitools are not exactly easy to carry around every day. The products are large, sharp and too heavy to carry in your pocket.
We have been working in the design of water harvesters from air humidity for the Peruvian desert, based in our knowledge and practice, but there was lacking a general theory behind our task, until the "Biotic Pump" concept of Victor Gorshkov and Anastassia Makarieva of the St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Unit became known,
The Innovation
Launch vehicle rocket engines must operate from sea level to near-vacuum conditions. They require high thrust at takeoff when the vehicle is heaviest. As the vehicle ascends to space it requires a high specific impulse (Isp) to minimize the propellant consumption. These requirements are in conflict.
Background: During the disputes that cost many countries lives due to the terrorists and extremists, the members of national defense seek to secure data transmission between their members.
The recent way of communication can be hacked due to the common way may easily recognized by them ,
The bioethanol-reactor aims to combine the delignification and SSF process simultaneously in a single reactor. Function of this tool is to reduce levels of lignin, and also used in the saccharification and fermentation of lignocellulosic materials.This reactor is designed to produce second generation of bioethanol.
The reactor is a jacketed reactor with 120L volume,
Today in the world lots of innovation is for safety purpose in vehicle to not to have an accident, but still we face lots of accidents there are lots of other option in vehicle but what is the use we get accident option such as vehicle having safety seat-belt, airbag,
A quadrotor, also called a quadrotor helicopter, is a multicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. Quadrotors are classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to fixed-wing aircraft, because their lift is generated by a set of revolving narrow-chord airfoils. Unlike most helicopters, quadrotors generally use symmetrically pitched blades; these can be adjusted as a group,
