Reduction of Air/Wind Energy Transfer to High Speed Trains
Vehicle designs have traditionally incorporated linear shapes to reduce aerodynamic forces. I.e. base region pressure drag, parasite drag, wake vortex shedding and pressure rise at underpasses and tunnels. However, wind is a non-linear force that increases vehicle instabilities,
This design is a mobile micro-lab (MML) empowering individuals and remote health care providers with rapid, frequent and inexpensive access to vital health status information previously requiring long waits, fees and invasive procedures or denied by insurance.
Ever wondered if computers can solve your health ailments? Yes, I propose a model to bring that into reality by taking advantage of analytics and networked doctors. This model calls for a care-for-society attitude from doctors to handle a few cases free-of-cost. However,
WHAT WE PROPOSE:
The idea is to merge the mechanism of a bicycle stand to a lock in order to facilitate the convenient parking and locking of a bicycle.
Imagine single pendrive or memory card containing ALL your data.
Imagine Smartphone or tablet having installed ALL applications available in the app store.
Imagine camera containing ALL your photos and videos.
Imagine portable electronic devices having UNLIMITED memory size.
Impossible? Not anymore.
We named this solution NEM –
Piezoelectric plastic sheet system for rapid transit platforms
The problem with renewable energy production is that it requires large operational area and doesn't produce much electricity but one potential source has largely been neglected, that is us the human beings.
MODEL DESCRIPTION:-
Keeping in mind the worse situation of our country especially in the world where there is a shortage of power supplies, this model of lighting note books and note pads are designed.

INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION OF THE MODEL
Due to the increasing inflation in our country currently, the exchange of our goods from one place to other with heavy vehicles has become a money consuming process.
Despite all this clamor among the environmentalists about the real and imaginary flip-sides of using fossil fuels and the need to shift to alternate sources of energy, the world remains heavily reliant on the three main types of fossil fuels, i.e. coal, oil and natural gas.
This design departs from the inspiration of Ancient Andean technologies that for the last 5,000 years created not less than 60% of the food world eat now. They were based in natural forces and effects, product of milennia observation.
