Have you imagined what if you could stand at one place while taking Panaroma pictures by just shaking and raising your hand high up to take an entire 360 view around you ?
The Pano-Band is a solution to clicking 360 views in the go , without having to remove your cellphone out of your pocket !
Dual Suspension System Technology (DSS Technology)
Current vehicle suspension design divides into two groups:
1. Solid Axle Suspensions
2. Independent Suspensions
Both of which still face stability and mobility difficulties that are masked by various electronic stability control systems. Limited articulation, directional stability, unsprung weight penalties,
So far a turbine is not designed with mechanical advantage. CHALASANI TURBINE is designed with mechanical advantage. CHALASANI TURBINE is a hollow cylinder completely closed and blades weld on its circumferential surface at equal interval between any two blades. CHALASANI TURBINE is designed with specific gravity 0.25. To instal this turbine a water holding system is designed.
The Vision-Enhanced Situational Awareness (VESA) system is a situational awareness system for small general aviation aircraft that incorporates enhanced and synthetic vision, augmented reality, data fusion, and other technologies to provide a continuous display of the pilot’s surroundings fused with important flight information.
In conventional burners, after initial mixing of gas and air in a mixing tube, the second stage mixing is arranged inside space of perforated burner head but high quality mixing is not possible in such process.
In newly designed burner,
In modern society, the choices of transportation have drastically changed. Sky train is becoming the most popular means of transportation. Therefore, our team came up with an idea to modify a shape of sky train as same as an airfoil by creating a lift-force to reduce the load when running at high speed.
The Field Trauma Kit for K-9 (‘FTK-9’) wound/paw, head, torso injuries. FTK-9 kit is designed to minimize trauma and enable field treatment of shallow and deep tissue (paws, legs, torso) injuries to MWD's (Military Working Dogs) and other service animals. Utilization mitigates trauma, preserves material asset (MWD), improves survivability and resilience of troop strength.
Like Intex corporation builds above ground pools, my invention is for lunar construction of a living station. The circular design is similar to Apple's corporate center, it's layout simple and raised chemically with the use of a combination of Pepsi and Mintos! The wall structure uses an atmosphere similar to Earth's that keeps the structure structurally sound and habitable.
The objectives of this project are to:
•Increase overall commercial fleet fuel efficiency
•Improve tire wear and service life
•Decrease fleet tire maintenance costs and compliance with federal safety regulations
Under-inflated tires significantly reduce a vehicle’s fuel efficiency by increasing rolling resistance (drag force).
In these days we using tons of paper by destroying hundreds of trees. My idea is to save trees from producing paper by using electronic touch displays in all places where paper forms are highly used. This idea save the trees. Like RDO offices,
