Introduction The concepts that I would like to present are a thermal-magnetic motor and a planetary transmission that operates off a set of calipers, instead of a band.
I haven't driven a car since November of 2009 and I use my bicycle as my primary mode of transportation. During these past months I realized that my iPhone would run out of power while riding my bike using GPS navigation and stopping to take pictures, surf the web,
I am envisioning a PDA/E-reader with the following requirements
1) a 10 MB camera built in. The camera must auto focus to less than 1 inch if legs are extended. screen should zoom by touch.
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.
