Are you fed up with bumps and jerks on the road while travelling in a car?Here is a possible way to control and reduce it effectively.This type of active electromagnetic suspension system promises a smoother ride than the conventional passive suspension system.
Personal flight has stayed an ojective since the Icarus story and Leonardo da Vinci. The problem is getting sufficient lift.
This invention consists of the modification of a Tescom piston sensing CNG regulator to provide a variable pressure output in order to compensate for the limited pulse width response of gaseous injectors that can hinder their metering ability at the upper and lower RPM limits of automotive engines when operated on gaseous fuels. The resulting system,
BLiNKZ is an eye-controlled, computer vision aided, wirelessly networked, mobile information device, housed in the familiar form of a pair of eyeglasses.
Once manually turned on, four backward-facing cameras track the eye movements of the user, allowing the wearer to control the interface on the interactive, heads-up display (HUD). Those movements direct the eye cursor,
High blood pressure is rising in the global population and this is the invisible killer, sometimes no signs before a heart attack. We have tested years ago that releasing the arterial ans veins can extend the life and let patient free from pain, most of the time reducing normal blood pressure.
Direct imaging of the UV absorption or reflection of an object has many applications in medical diagnosis and research. Examples are: identifying abnormal tissue growth, identifying invisible dermal damage, tracking the effectiveness of drug treatments, and others. Many biological molecules absorb UV light, thereby permitting the temporal and spatial monitoring of their concentration.
Our solar-blind filter permits direct imaging of the UV absorption and reflection characteristics from an object, and has many applications. Imaging at UV wavelengths is useful in atmospheric monitoring (SO2) and in secure communication. Scientific (astronomy) and military communication and detection applications in exo-atmosphere and underwater environments can be served. UV surveillance, monitoring,
Tesla High Speed - High Volume Air Turbine
This device was originally created to cool a person or a few people off by way of a high speed high volume turbine and an ice chest, which worked wonderful by the way in cooling down a person or a small enclosed area such as work tent in digging ditches,
It's hard to push your car in heavy traffic congestion where you see yourself in a state of fix. Or else you need a flying car. But the fact is you need to bear it until the end.
