MouthSpace is an input device for mobile and assistive computing. It replaces the Mouse and the Keyboard when convenience, mobility or security constraints prevent their use.
Other input methods cannot match the Keyboard-and-Mouse combination for accuracy, speed or potential for productivity,
The idea is to generate clean energy.
Is based on the principle of mechanical energy transformation associated with magnetic energy into electrical energy.
The system consists in the integration of "already existing technologies and concepts", and in their physical sizing and capacity depending on where you want to apply it.
The basic concepts used in the integration,
Trap grease is a mixture of water, solids, fat, oil and grease (FOG) that accumulate in grease traps/interceptors and sewer pipes. The FOG content in the trap grease is the major cause of the clogging and corrosion of municipal sewer pipes.
ESB, Emergency Starting Battery VS (Vehicle Series)
ESB, means ‘’Emergency Starting Battery.” A new manufacturing innovation in the battery field. A very promising proposal which will offer more safety and reliability to the automotive world.
An innovation which will insure you reach your destination safely. ESB can be used mainly as an alternative (saving) back-up emergency starting battery,
As there is always high demand for food plants and the price for the good ground in some countries is too high there is always high demand for new food making technologies.
As the tropic regions and the deserts have very difficult ground conditions (temperature,
MASTER SWITCH -- the name itself refers that it's an advanced switch, when we compare to normal switches. In any switches do they provide fuse contact , NO ,the manufacturer of switch board always gives us common fuse ,but that type of fuse will be blown off when some surge current flows.
ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKE:
Electro magnetic brake refers to when an ac supply is given to the ferromagnetic material/metal via coil. there will be production of artificial magnetic field, this type of brake is used in winch technology.
Why we need Electromagnetic brake??
When we compared with normal brake it takes time to make the vehicle to stop it,
IMMEDIATE NEED FOR AND EFFICIENT CLEAN ENERGY WIND ENERGY
World is looking for renewable energy as a clean source of electrical energy. Hence there is a need to find efficient ways to tap this source. It is understood currently windmills have efficiencies of the order of 15 to 20 % only.
The problem:
Satellites in Earth orbit are increasingly in danger of being damaged and disabled by collisions with orbiting pieces of debris that are generated by explosions of fuel tanks or other mishaps, etc. These collisions generate more debris, which will eventually - over thousands of years - burn up in the atmosphere. In the meantime,
This is just a simple sketch of a car (SUV segment) for easy transport of people and their necessities! The car I've designed is totally virtual design but, imagination has its no limits.
Body:
Made of aluminum alloy to reduce weight.
Mostly the parts are not curved which saves the manufacturing process.
