I/ Meissner Effect
1/ Diamagnetism will occur if the orbital velocity of electrons vary.
2/ At low temperatures( near absolute zero ), the electrons of the phonon’s atoms move slowly & thus cause the diamagnetic effect.
3/ Therefore there is no magnetic field inside a superconductor.
A construction heater equipped with a highly energy-efficient fan and heated by a burner free of emissions. Exhaust gases from the burning contributes to room warming so that the efficiency approaches 100%. The fan is of radial type and is free from noise and reaches almost 95% efficiency.

If a nation immunizes its population, especially its children, today, it paves the way towards a healthy tomorrow. Thanks to advances in medical science, today a large number of diseases can be prevented through immunisation. If, however, despite the existence of these life-giving vaccines, such diseases become a cause for national concern,
For a long period of time we have been using the same technologies for bathrooms but over time we have changed a lot in terms of electronic gadgets. So I have designed a new technology for bathrooms which I have named "Futuristic Electrified Bathrooms.
A NEW FAN ROTOR FOR AIRCRAFT JET ENGINE
Now a turbofan jet engine is produced with compressor fan blades which are rigidly fitted to a single row on the front flange of the fan shaft. The best turbofan engine today make of 40% potential energy stored in the fuel.
It is known the research and development efforts,
Tile-Lite is purely a life saver, Based upon my original early warning detectable surface Tile or comonly known as the ADA Tile. The Tile-lite is a information system for the Visually and Hearing impaired/challenged. It can through the use of LED technology indicate Green arrows for safe direction and Red crosses for danger.
The proposal relates to a non-radiation technology of manufacturing nano- and micro-track membranes by deep penetration.
People and their electronic devices are migrating from the desk to rooms with comfortable furniture. Here they work, shop and play in comfort but are still plagued by nagging inconveniences. The low battery alarm demands that we stop, get up and plug in. Electrical wall outlets are scarce and difficult to reach behind heavy furniture.
Invention of the Lyne Atomic Hydrogen Furnace began in 1964, when William Lyne took interest in the atomic hydrogen welding process while attending an industrial processes course at Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. Irving Langmuir discovered the process in the 1920s and developed it only for welding.
Nowadays simple shaft- and planetary transmissions are the most used types of transmissions because of its concept simplicity. In these transmissions it is necessary to engage and disengage one or more control components in order to gear the chosen speed gear, whereby a single gear pair is often used in one speed gear only.
