It's based on the principle of water jet cutting. It gives the combined effect of water jet cutting and surface drilling operation to overcome the drilling problems by this design on the basis of anticipation of potential hole problems, such as drill hole deviation and high hardness rocks.
Air pollution is a major threat in the ever growing urban lanscapes: here, we propose a crowd monitoring system, where air control is done by eveyone for everybody.
This design provides an effective solution to check air quality and share real-time measurements all over the community.
Earth attracts objects creating pressure on everything on its surface. When something takes in latent heat it pushes against enormous atompheric pressure to expand this expansion or combustion in case of fuel later when condenses creates a vacuum equal to tons of atmospheric pressure which can be effectively used.
AIM OF THE PROJECT
To control the speed of vehicles at restricted areas in cities (viz. school zone, hospital zone) with certain speed limits posted on the roads.
- Here we are using an RFID card reader in identifying the speed limit mentioned on the road,
The Polariton Interferometer was first developed as a novel quantum sensor, and is poised to be a strong competitor in the technology market driving consumer products. The Polariton Interferometer utilizes exciton-polariton matter waves to determine motion, introducing a paradigm shift for image stabilization technologies.
The existing models of hair dryers have two variable parameters - the temperature and the speed of air flow. You will agree that the hair dryer may have one more variable parameter - direction of warm air flow\stream.

For all cars, I introduced a patented Extra Spotlights with Xenon or Laser Lamps to strengthen and increase the power of lighting used now, with no interference of the driver's vision, to stop accidents at night. The World Health Organization issued a report in 2014 placing Egypt first in
Rickshaws play an important role in the era of transportation, especially in developing countries like India. It is very popular because it is cheap and can be used in congested places full of traffic.
Most of the rickshaws are run by men coming from backward rural areas.
Hi, my name is Lutf and I am going to design a turbine in the right of way pipe line going towards the house with pressure. For this I have selected a site in my village.
