The present economics crisis is due (in part) to a lack of understanding about how our social system works. Today macroeconomics is very badly taught and far too complicated explanations are given.
Universal spanner-screwdriver consists of
1) Frame (grey in picture).
2) 5 slotted (2 mm,3 mm,4 mm,5 mm,6 mm) screwdrivers.
3) 5 crossed (2 mm,3 mm,4 mm,5 mm,6 mm) screwdrivers.
4) Spanner (blue) (10 mm,12 mm,14 mm,19 mm,24 mm).
5) Spanner (red) (8 mm,11 mm,13 mm,17 mm,22 mm).
The engine consists of an elliptic casing 19, a rotor 10 with vanes 11 that, owing the copy mechanism 25, allows them to maintain contact with the elliptic casing in all positions. So the vanes play the role of the pistons. A single vane replaces one piston, one cylinder,
Many people believe that perpetual motion is impossible...however doesn't piezo electricity yield convertible electromotive force? Unlocking the electric motor allowing for the commutator to advance also overcomes resistance of the field for electrical generation by increasing inertia with a given electromotive force.
Q: How does your design work?
Background
Today we are living in a "touch world” where we enjoy Facebook and YouTube every day. We are more social than ever before, we watch the world through a camera. Let’s have a look at YouTube statistics: over 4 billion videos are viewed a day,
What problem does the LIVY design solve?
The LIVY allows for deliveries to be made in large and dense urban areas at a much lower cost than traditional methods. It is also a great upgrade to current green methods of city delivery which uses pedal/electric driven models.
Walking Mechanical Mule
The Walking Mechanical Mule is a very simple, purely mechanical walking platform. It is based on a special form of unique "7 link mechanism." It is actuated by a simple rotating crank and it has NO additional controls!
The problem as everyone knows is the longer you are in a zero-g environment the more your bones waste away and your muscles become less efficient.
Screening of passengers before aircraft boarding incurs delays, expense and yields imperfect results. The system I propose makes use of several preinstalled, state-of-the art subsystems to regain control of the aircraft after hijacking.
It can be applied to the entire range of acceleration voltages. The main characteristic of the new gun is that the control and stabilization of the welding current is obtained by connecting the controlling electrode to a positive potential with reference to the cathode.
