In the last decades the private space sector has increased its initiative independently from or in tight collaboration with the national and international space agencies. Many companies have the capabilities of designing and actually building satellites or entire modules of the International Space Station.
If you are ready to shop for best performance and best safety private aircraft, what characteristics will your aircraft feature? What type of propeller will you use ? These considerations will affect the aircraft aerodynamic propelling efficiency, flight control maneuvering configuration, flight safety, flight speed and performance; effect to vibration and noise and the most easy catchy specs,
Flywheel research at NASA and BOEING and other places are proving that this energy storage has arrived.
When weapons are used as energy or particle accelerators, one major problem has been to get sufficient burst energy to fire and then to be able to fire successive shots. For Rail Guns batteries and capacitors typically supply the energy.
This entry describes a product that can be built with proper research coordination.
We are on the verge of being able to build this robot/machine that would revolutionize the civilization we live in.
Many are attacking the renewable energy issues. People use geothermal and some of the wells are causing problems because of the addition of fluids to underground structures that are altering, causing minor earthquakes etc. Water supply is also a problem in some locales.
Computational Model of Human Body Based Upon the Genetic Analysis for Drug Development and Treatment
The proposed computational model of the human body is going to revolutionize the field of medicine. It would be deux ex machina of medicine. From now on, instead of treatment based upon trial and error, we would be developing the precise treatment using the model derived from the genome of the given patient.
An intelligent building has the ability to monitor its indoor and outdoor environment and control the installed systems (e.g. air-conditioning, ventilation, heating) for ensuring the occupancies comfort level with minimum energy consumption. There are different solutions of building automation existing on the market nowadays, and most of them are based on wired communication. Even so,
It has been known since before 1970 that cancer cells exposed for a prolonged period at temperatures of 108 degrees Fahrenheit and higher die. The thermal approach has been tried by major hospitals and has not worked well.
Primarily aimed at the domestic and SME market, Senical Ltd has designed a micro-generation unit with modular components allowing these components to be “swapped out” to maximize the usage of natural resources with minimum footprint. The main housing has an interchangeable top component which can be either a solar collection unit, a wood burning unit or a barbeque.
To create a book paper with reflection emission corresponding to the eyes optimal adoption wavelengths and thus increase the contrast in between the printed material and the substrate. This means that people, especial elderly, will have increased reading possibility at advanced ages.
