This grill is made by using only one piece of stainless steel. The great thing about it is that you can fold it by your self, and it doesnt need any grip, screw or welding. This new design reduce the time and costs of production,
THAW is a simple method of making a hazardous area safe to walk across. It is essentially a low-profile bridge that can be used to level an uneven surface with ease for example potholes, cracked pavement/paving stones, reducing the risk of civilian traffic.
THAW is also capable of providing a ridged surface for pedestrian vehicles (wheelchairs, buggies etc.
The Pedal Mower crosses the problematic bridge and solves several problems- rising fuel costs, reliance on foreign fuels, depletion of natural resources, pollution, and rising obesity. This machine solves these problems by allowing a person to mow a lawn, but forces them to pedal the lawn mower like a bike.
