Classically trained engineers have been left with the impression it is impossible to control 100% of the torque generated by a single lift rotor, using only the downdraft, within the same diameter as the lift rotor, because 100% of the torque minus 100% of the torque would leave no useable downdraft or zero lift.
EnerSysNet [hereafter ESN] is in the sustainable energy business. Our lean, green machines turn forest waste into refinery feedstock. ESN will build, own or lease, and operate a network of mobile energy conversion [MEC] systems producing renewable liquid hydrocarbons [RLHs] directly from renewable woody biomass.
My idea is a relative small construction attached to a ship to prevent it from sinking. Lets call it a shiplifebag. SLB. The SLB consists of a flexible hose wrapped around a wheel. In the middle of the wheel sits a big compressed airbag. The airbag is connected to the hose and a compressor.
Bridgefy is the technology that enables smart devices such as smartphones and tablets to communicate without Internet or SMS.
The primary target market is developing countries and regions with poor telecommunications infrastructure, such as Latin America and South East Asia – to name a few.
You might have heared about gesture controlled, augement controlled vehicles. Now image controlling your car using your mind. Here I have used the EEG sensor to record the mind waves and develop some algorithms by which the car movement can be easily controlled by means of our mind. More the no of EEG electrode.
The pump takes the water from the tank and pushes it to turn the cupped wheel then the water returns to the tank, so it never runs out of water.The cupped wheel turns the turbine creating electricity to operate the pressure pump and have enough electricity to power other electric devices.
Over 65% of the electrical energy used today is generated by burning fossil fuels, such coal, natural gas or petroleum.
However, due to stricter regulations concerning carbon dioxide emissions and higher costs of hydrocarbon fuel sources, electrical energy generation from renewable will likely replace traditional fossil-fuel-based technologies.
Unfortunately, wind turbines require heavy towers, foundations, and large blades,
ABSTRACT:
In India alone number of accidents takes place due to small negligence in driving. Among the careless driving comes the unretracted stand.The unretract stand causes major accidents in roads for the rider and fellow road users. There are many mechanical system’s such as pneumatics, servo motors and other component’s used to retract the stands.
The necessity for constant humidity and temperature inside the amputee prosthetic socket is an actual problem for amputees. Rise in the temperature and humidity increase the chance of ulcerations because of the medium of friction inside the liners. For this reason, a socket capable to control the humidity and the temperature was built.
Such a big flying car would be big and heavy so need a lot of wing area, it means big and long wings to provide enough lift needed for flying. The wings aerodynamics lift center must be near the plane mass center, so wings must be not far from the middle of airplane body in practice.
