Glowing airplanes, jets, trains, cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, and bicycles, can now be practically and inexpensively manufactured by using robots to paint/print a multilayered sandwich of materials creating organic light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) which will emit light when electrically excited.
Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are lifesaving interventions for accident victims who are unable to breathe for themselves. Medics currently have few methods for mechanically ventilating patients, and rely instead on manual bag-valve ventilation.
Nanotech Manufacturing Techniques for High Temperature Superconductivity
Current high temperature superconductors are based on a copper-oxide lattice with two different interstitial atoms, typically rare earth, spaced in adjacent lattice cells. This configuration,
The MicroUtility will provide modern utility services to rural sub-Saharan Africa at a low capital and operating cost, using easily maintained, low-tech equipment. The services that the MicroUtility provides are: (1) wastewater treatment; (2) potable water supplies; (3) high-protein animal feed; (4) fertilizer;
This idea combines 3 forms of energy usage into 1 yielding a reduction in electric and gas consumption. Heated water is used by every household and, in many parts of the world, AC (air conditioning) is used for several months of the year.
This product moves a towel while drying to keep it from stiffening.
A pressure sensor or load-cell may detect when a towel has been replaced on the rack. Then, at certain times, the rod is moved, imparting motion to the towel.
For the S-curve design,
This toy has the capability to spin in place or make direct angle degree turns. It can drive forward or backward and turn gradually also. The ability will be beneficial because the unit will be able to maneuver in tight places much more gracefully than conventional vehicles.
After using the toilet we normally wash our hands. Before taking a shower, we often use the toilet. Before washing, we commonly allow the hot water to run in the sink or tub until it warms up, producing unnecessary waste.
The military presently utilizes the air craft carriers to deploy combat jets overseas. The problem with using them is that they are so yesterday in terms of speed, and wasteful of many types of fuel and energy resources.
The DTV Shredder is an ultra compact all terrain vehicle. A 14hp engine powers two tank tracks over any terrain imaginable. Sand, snow and ice, rocks or dirt, the shredder can handle it all at speeds of up to 30 mph!
