Your vote can help wean the world off of fossil fuels by using pellet stoves to power vehicles and machinery and generate electricity. Pellets can be made from any locally available renewable fuels, including trash, manure, bedding, food waste, etc., turning waste disposal problems into valuable fuel resources.
Solar cells are a great at as a constant, low voltage power source but don't function at night. Therefore, power stored during the day is depleted at night.
Modern fabrication techniques permit manufacture of economical personnel and package security scanners integrating traditional metal detection with high-resolution ultrasound imaging of dense materials, such as explosives, concealed in clothing or small packages.
This scanner can be manufactured using present semiconductor fabrication methods,
So you'd like to park in Near Space to gather resources and analyze the challenges beyond.
Good idea but you'll need lots of power to sustain life. You'll pump nutrients for plants and animals. Your power needs also include heating, cooling, lighting and regeneration of air/water.
The world is analog, yet we have spent the last century force fitting the analog world into digital patterns to match the capabilities of digital computers. What if one could create analog models that run on today’s digital computers? The human’s left brain processes information sequentially,
Renewable energy production used by consumers (power, heat and cooling), together with hydrogen, is seen as the dominant future energy form. Using fuel cell technology, the two forms are effectively interchangeable (hydrogen and electricity), providing the potential for hydrogen to be a large-scale storage medium for electricity.
A major drawback with available thumbscrew type products is that sometimes not enough torque can be applied without a separate tool to clamp parts or engage a lock feature which is usually a requirement. The integral wrench greatly increases the torque applied to the screw.
It's hard for an Air Traffic Controller to decide the fate of an aircraft and the people onboard the aircraft when the landing gear does not extend or any one of the gear does not extend by diverting to a sea or a river or a forced belly landing
The Mate Finder pendant flashes an LED when it's near another Mate Finder, but only if it is a “mate.” In a single’s bar, the pendant is used as a kind of “Zodiac Finder,” where singles can find a potential mate based on zodiac compatibility.
As a Zodiac Finder,
This project aims at increasing the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic modules applying the concept of moveable mounting panels to the microscale. Thanks to the improvements in micro-fabrication processes, it is now possible to integrate solar cells over movable structures, realizing the first Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Sunflower (MEMSflower).
