In the world of EMI-EMC there is an essential need to measure conducted as well as radiated RF power. Additionally, measurement of RF power is required for design, development and maintenance of various systems of communications; radar etc.
NATURAL COOLING
In countries with hot climatea the air conditioners of cars are mostly used for cooling the temperature inside the cars. This adds to comfort but at a cost. The mileage is reduced which directly adds cost to the owner of the car.
Sustainable energy sources, like wind and solar, are not as easily controlled as coal and oil. Powering the American economy off its environment requires an advanced computer system pulling in massive amounts of data, churning that data into a national model predicting both energy supply and need,
The Rotational Induction Engine is an electromagnetic induction engine that provides a proper alternative solution to internal combustion engines. Derived from linear induction and linear synchronous motors, the linear motion of electromagnetic propulsion seen on many standing- launch roller coasters can also be used to propel vehicles.
