Improving automotive safety is one of the major aspects in today’s automotive industry. “Anti-Sinking Airbag System” deals with the automotive safety in passenger vehicles i.e.
a)Avoids the vehicle sinking in a body of water.
Our education system is now totally based on pen and paper; we all give exams on a paper sheet and write all our notes on paper. Nearly 4 billion trees worldwide are cut down each year for paper, Think about it,
FTI has developed a Hybrid Regenerative Energy Recovery System (HERS) that allows motor vehicles to perform their every day tasks much more efficiently than any other vehicle without the technology.
Freedom Motors NL has designed an extremely efficient 1,2 and 3-rotor industrial multifuel rotary engine concept. Displacement is 533 cc per rotor, the working rpm range is between 3000 and 4500 rpm, dependable of type and application. The engine/rpm is electronically controlled without throttle,

Pole climbing robots have become an interesting area for research in recent years. Several robots have been developed to solve this given problem. Every construction has its own advantages and disadvantages.
To date armour systems are typically homogenous in construction (i.e. a monolithic plate) and the localised deformation associated with projectile penetration does not take advantage of the entire strength of the armour piece. The armour system of this proposal is a composite metallic structure which has been named “plymetal.”
At Cavitational Energy Systems LLC we are able to completely convert large amounts of heat energy at very cold temperatures (~30K) to electricity; using the heat energy in the ~30K to ambient temperature difference.
Motorcycle such as a BMW C1 (Fig. 1) meets most requirements for under-served areas. It is affordable, fuel efficient, easy parking, weather resistant and with many other advantages but not safe enough compare to a four wheeler (automobile). A four wheeler is more stable than a two wheeler.
Hybrid rocket propulsion is a promising propulsion system which presents appealing features such as safety, low cost and environment friendliness. On the other hand certain issues like low regression rates, mixture ratio shifting, mixing inefficiencies, etc. restrict its use as a preferred propulsion system.
