The thrust of a solid propellant rocket depends directly upon the burning surface area of the solid grain. Therefore we try to modify the shape of the solid propellant grain to get the maximum surface area. This can be done by using a mathematical curve better known as a fractal curve.
Fractals are said to possess infinite detail.

The energy crisis persists all across the globe. We think of recovering the energy which is already spent but not being utilized further, to overcome this crisis with no huge investment.
The climatic change and global warming demand accessible and affordable cooling systems in the form of refrigerators and air conditioners.
Contactless measurements are very important in many points of life, especially in urban infrastructure, industries and transportation. Some of them are using solutions based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography. The main idea of this type of measurements is strictly connected with additional electrodes placed around a tested object. Thanks to the inter-electrodes capacitance (Cx) detected by electronic devices,
Special bed for patients who stay in the hospital for long periods of time, like the brain dead, coma, and so which lead to bed ulcer. These patients will face with bed wound and muscle weakness and other vital problems due to lack of movement. This bed helps patients and medical team in order to conquest those mentioned problems.
