Robotics is a part of today's communication. Nowadays many industries are using robots, due to their high level of performance, which is a great help for humans society. Likewise in many industries, we have seen that heavy components which they have to move from one place to another place,
INNOVATION:
An economical, simple, and elegant solar-panel protection and cleaning solution involving a smart, UV resistant, waterproof, retractable cover with micro-fiber pads beneath removes dust along the slope of the panel.
In particular,
PROBLEM: Global Heating by Contrails generated by jet airliners
98% of anthropogenic (human-made) global heating is the result of Green House Gases (GHGs) such as CO2 and methane. The remaining 2% is generated by the effect of Contrails. Surprising huh?
SUMMARIZE: I developed a device with the Arduino MKR WAN 1300, which helps me to monitor the quality of water and air in the ecological reserve of my community.
PROBLEM:
I live on the shores of a big city, and there're still ecological reserves with natural lakes.
This application is designed to allow for safer travel in low light conditions for motorcyclists.
Due to the low cost manufacture of this unit it will allow for an easy uptake among the general riding population.
Waves have been over-simplified as sinusoidal in physics since Newton and in mathematics since Euler, but even ripples on water diminish in wavelength gradually but indefinitely. Resonance in an "imperfect oscillator" with changing natural frequency conversely requires successive wave cycles with periods changing at the same rate.
When it comes to taking cargo into space the current method is to take the cargo, put it on the top of a large rocket and launch it. Launching a rocket is expensive, tens of million of dollars.
The prices of natural gas and electricity are still rising, so it is advisable to find new sources of energy for heating houses and apartments. Trimmed tree branches, cut weeds and paper no longer suitable for recycling are landfilled or burned uselessly in the fields.
