The main objective of this hand operated car mechanism is to provide driving experience to handicapped people (which is handicapped by leg not by hand). In this car mechanism all controls are in hand like the accelerator, brake and clutch. Into this the accelerator is placed in steering,
In Indian society, the main concern of the people living in urban areas is to store and minimize the wastage of municipal water supplies to households. This storage is regularized with the help of overhead tank attached with motor and submersible pumps.
The problem we face in our fast moving life is misplacing things and spending our valuable time searching for them. What if we have a device which tells you about the location in a second's time? Here, we come with our product which gives you the exact location about where they are within our living area.
}A device for transferring resonant magnetic energy between a source of current and the human body.
This is a compact device which serves to provide a localized application of magnetic energy to electrically-charged tissues, calibrated to the characteristic frequency of the user by coupling through the magnetic potential of the body.
This device is for the transmission of energy to the electrical system of the body via wireless inductive coupling. It is designed to serve in several capacities:
1. A source of stable amplitude on a particular vector to neuronal tissues of the body without surgical invasion.
The use of proposed technology of Modeling of Intelligent Systems Thinking in Complex Adaptive systems is oriented on use in autonomous, intelligent Fuzzy Control and Information Complex Adaptive systems, that operate in real-time, fuzzy conditions, heterogeneous subject areas and multilingual communications, there the situations are unknown in advance, fuzzy structured and not clearly regulated.
The Project aims to build a 4-wheeler with a capacity to carry 5 persons. Primarily intended for transport of people within large campuses such as universities, hospitals , factories etc facilitating creation of pollution free campuses. The vehicle will be powered by Li-ion battery to be charged at Solar paneled charging stations.
Using Nanotechnology to cure the dragon disease called cancer.
Cancer cell have a higher temperature than the body temperature. The nano bots carrying the cancer treatment drug will be temperature sensing bots, which when coming into contact with the cancer cell will open up and pour the drug directly into the cancer affected cells.
This project "Next generation Power Station" is about how we convert one energy form to another and use it for ourselves.
The basic idea of this is that we would use the energy being wasted when cars move on roads.
There was once a time when farmers had to work the land manually – then the task of farming was a long and tedious one lasting from dawn till dusk. Luckily many scientific advances have touched the field of agriculture.
