Water crashes are the drone pilot’s worst nightmare. Drones have a considerable amount of electrical components that need to be cool to operate correctly, hence air cooling vents are located on the surfaces of the drone. If a drone crashes in water, it sinks rapidly and if it is not found and retrieved quickly,
I have a portable, permanent, dome house construction project. That can withstand 150-mile winds and microbursts.
I just went through the mega storm of Canada Quebec winter weather. I though the house was going to buckle under the wind. Huge trees uprooted and major power outages for days.
The picture is just a taken image from the internet.
My primary goal is to produce a single presentation model that examplifies this transport system by searching partners who have the first comment: It is a fiction. Yes, exactly it is but a question arises: which technology is attainable to create this concept truck? Hard fact, a new system is inevitable.
Hello, I thought of proposing such a dream camera idea. The helmet camera with glasses can be made of silicone or sponge on the inside. It has a skeleton that is made up of scanners that form a system connected to each other and scan the neurons during sleep.
A feasibility study needs to be started now. The technology exists to build a worldwide electrical grid now. The power would be transmitted with direct current to minimize losses from converting DC to AC.
Direct current is now transmitted many miles on land and in the sea.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a drone. Introducing the Bird Bot, a new UAV designed to soar like a real-life pigeon using bird-like feathered wings.
The Bird Bot prototype is called a bio-hybrid aerial robot because it fuses both biological and artificial elements. To put working prototype together,
We are developing a new generation of solid fuel combined heat and power microturbine system. Fuels include woodchips, waste plastics, waste biomass, fuel pellets, agricultural waste, and any combustible solid, as well as conventional fuels such as propane, natural gas, heating oil, waste oil, vegetable oil, etc.
Did you know that coffee cultivation is one of the main causes of water pollution? Today, I present you an innovative solution to this problem.
On the other hand, in an application to sectors such as restaurants in the use of food waste using for biogas generation. And even, on a macro scale,
The information is transmitted via the keyboard (Braille keyboard) on the screen. In this way the information is transmitted to the sensor on the phone cover that is attached, capturing human hand movements and transforming them into a 3D image on the phone.
