Weed trimmers cause more heartburn than any other garden tool. Depending upon centrifugal force (CF) to extend the filament when you bump the head on the ground, if you let the string get too short, there isn’t much mass for the CF to work on. Also,
This is the creation and transmission of electricity via wireless, through the use of diesel and petrol powered cars to power up communities and industries.
In North America transportation accounts for 23% of the greenhouse gas emissions produced. To determine the amount of greenhouse gases produced, and to have a basis for comparison, a measurement known as “global warming potention” is used.
To prevent delay in travel time, accidents, and destruction of road surfaces I recommend using heated roads. To achieve this I suggest using a conductive grid layed just under the roadway surface at the time of resurfacing or new construction.
Access to affordable, renewable energy generation is necessary to drive sustainable development and global access to quality health care and education. In response to this demand,
Supercritical combustion is a new concept of combustion technology aiming at reducing the fuel consumption and pollutant emission levels of a diesel engine. Supercritical combustion is a controlled detonation technique in which the fuel will be introduced into the combustion chamber in its supercritical state,
This invention pertains to the Automotive Engineering and Green Technologies.
Today, oil accounts for 96% of the fuel that powers our country's vehicular fleets. The old polluting conventional internal combustion piston engines in our cars work by burning gas and creating an explosion that forces the pistons down, consequently,
Imagine paraplegic patients with as severe injuries as complete paralysis of lower limbs to be able to independently stand up and walk both indoors and outdoors simultaneously exercising power assisted gait training.
