Flying electric generators (FEGs) are designed to harness kinetic energy in the powerful, persistent high altitude winds. At 15,000 feet (4600 m) and above, tethered rotorcraft, with four or more rotors mounted on each unit, could give individual rated outputs of up to 40 MW.
This system takes advantage of a piezoelectric transducer that produces electrical energy from mechanical stress. The vibration produced by the automobile is absorbed by the shock absorber and transferred to piezoelectric material. The experimental setup consists of spring based shock absorber, piezoelectric crystal.
Historically, the fitting, adjustment and alignment of prosthetic devices has been a highly skilled art relying on the training and experience of the prosthetist with input from the patient but with limited access to objective quantifiable measures (Gailey, 2006; Gard, 2006; Gauthier-Gagnon & Grisé,
The most efficient engines in the world are two-stroke diesels. They are used in locomotives and ships where fuel cost is the most important thing. However their peak efficiency (about 50%) is at one power level, which is usually the maximum power.
Self Irrigation container ( SIC-A)
Water is life. As we all know, all ancient cultures rose near water resources. They started agriculture, building dams and water reservoirs. Big reservoirs and dams built on rivers, not where there was little rainfall and flat zones. As civilizations develop and upgrade,
Problem Statement:
Production demands on skilled workers are at an all time high. Welders, assembly technicians, machine builders and repair workers all have to endure long hours of repetitive physical maneuvers which many times include hand cranking workbench clamps and vises.
If there's one thing on Earth man has sought after-since the dawn of time, it is the most comfortable shoe-comfort! Or best support for their feet, for extended walking comfort and support. Not since now, has man been ultimately surprised to find, at his feet!
Line-Wise identifiers were created to help resolve problems that exist in a multitude of environments where complex arrays of optic cables, electric wires and fluid/gas tubes are employed to transmit light, electricity, fluids and gases from one location to another, sometimes over considerable distances ("C").
1-Heat transfer mechanism through a roof
On a summer sunny day, a typical roof surface can reach temperatures that are nearly 100°F above ambient temperature. A light color roof, due to the characteristics of the outer layer, stays at or near the ambient temperature.
Driver alerting device
The problem
Many car accidents are caused by driver sleepiness, victimizing the conductor, passengers, people in near distance vehicles and pedestrians. The use of stimulating beverages and drugs makes things worse, as it creates an impression of overcoming fatigue.
