Nigi torque multiplier as the name implies is a mechanism for multiplying torque. Consider two rotors coupled together. In normal case if these two rotors are connected together and allowed to rotate, then the same torque acting on the outer rotor would also act on the inner rotor.
The design that I am going to explain about is quite simple and also easy to understand. The main purpose of this design is to bring down the overall fuel consumption of the engine and also reduce the pollutants level.
FED / Fast, - ergonomic display design technology /.
Machine operator reaction on the information signal change is a complex process. Electronics consumer while perform the operator work, require the full information on the screen, successful ergonomic time capacity to read, to react on the environment that may change the situation.
Many people dead and many more battling for life has turned the spotlight once more on the disastrous consequences of improper handling of cooking gas cylinders. Hundreds of blasts are happening every year due to leakage of LPG from cylinders.
We have seen various accidents in aviation industry due to which we lost many lives as well as money. This idea will be very useful in future, basically this idea consist of 3 parts:-
1-PREVENTION FROM COLLISION IN AIR :-
In this all the planes will connected to the satellite and satellite keeps watching all the planes,
This model is a spark plug which is newly developed to work accurately than before (old one). It is designed to eliminate the air pollution due to unburnt air fuel mixture in the combustion chamber and also decrease the percentage of carbon dioxide and other gaseous.
My patented Planot® speaker design has no box, no tweeter, no crossover and no narrow sound. It has none of the drawbacks of old fashioned cones-in-a-box speakers. My educated guess is that 99% of all speakers in the world are wooden boxes with 2 paper cones and a crossover.
ABSTRACT:
This concept focuses on the utilization of engine waste heat energy and it is done by the ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle), which uses the refrigerant as a working fluid by replacing coolant (Ethylene Glycol) from engine jacket. The ORC generates high pressure to run the turbine of turbocharger.
The AUTOMATIC BILL PAYING MACHINE or BILL COUNTER AUTOMATION is used to reduce the human intervention of paying bills in shops and toll gates where a person has to be there to receive the cash and return the balance.
Although counter-intuitive, evolutionary internal combustion engine concepts are often times preferred over revolutionary ones. Although intriguing theoretical engine designs abound, a truly revolutionary engine concept’s value is questionable if it can’t be produced in quantity, inexpensively, and also provide reliable service. On the other hand, traditional reciprocating internal combustion engines are well understood,
