Gravity Machine
My Gravity Machines are not a theoretical proposal but are being built for the last 3 years. Gravity Machines produce continuously electricity out of a heat bath without the addition of any outside energy. This fact clearly contradicts present day energy views and teachings.
Toxic gas sensing UAV
The objective is to create a UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle) with poisonous gas sensor as its payload. Airways are the modern and best way to cover large area with less time thus we used an UAV to carry the poisonous gas sensor.
The world is now developing rapidly with intensive road construction. However, with the rapid development of road infrastructure, the accident numbers are supposed to be greatly reduced due to enhanced technology but to no avail. The accident rate keeps increasing when there is a demand for development.
Beverages consumed by humans come in two mediums which are hot and cold. Hot beverages are prepared with the mixture of boiling water while cold beverages are readily available by freezing or by inserting ice cubes.
The Problem:
Visually impaired (blind) individuals rely on simple walking sticks for navigating around obstacles encountered in their daily travels. Advanced electronic walking sticks further provide early warning of obstacles detected by sensors, and vibrating of the stick handle. However,
In view of growing demand for energy in developing countries like India, increase in global pollution and burden of importing fossil fuels, it has become inevitable to utilize the abundance of renewable sources. India, lying in the tropical region, is blessed with high solar-insolation.

1) Aluminium fabricated frame has four adjustable catchers which are mounted on a lead screw. This lead screw is rotated with the help of 2 stepper motors +/ - X axis & +/ -Y axis ,
W.A.N.D (Wound Analysis Device) is capable of analyzing wounds using Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging Technique (LSCI). This device consists of 14 lasers of different wavelengths viz,650,785,850,980 nm. These lasers illuminates the region of interest (wound) sequentially and the camera captures the images. From the acquired images,
The present invention relates to an engine control system for enhanced fuel economy and vehicle performance.
Motion Sickness and spatial disorientation have been acknowledged as a widespread problem, affecting a significant portion of world population to varying degrees. Up to 60% of the population has some motion intolerance. The occurrence of motion sickness can approach 100% in cruise ship passengers on rough seas.
