A NEW SPACE FOR EDUCATION
Education, both general and explicit, is generally accepted as the essential ingredient of social and economic success of nations and institutions. This happens, not by chance, but by unrelenting effort by educators and those who support this proposition of the future.
The aim of our project is to create a device which generates electricity based on the seebeck effect, photovoltaic effect and by electromagnetic induction. The reason to designed this kit is to solve the problem of frequent power cuts and also to decrease the energy crisis .
Objective: We have to develop such a device that gives an alarm with current location silently to the vehicle owner, when there is any unauthorized access of his/her vehicle.
Introduction: In our country more then 80,000 motor vehicles are stolen per year. Normally it is found that after stolen the motor vehicle i.e. it may four wheeler or two wheeler,
Ayubook of Rohtak (Haryana) is engaged in the mission of making life beautiful, and in that series, we are developing CARE - Citizen's Active Response against Earthquake technology to bridge the gap between earthquake engineering and state disaster relief unit through active involvement of citizens and help them in saving many precious lives.
Every year 500,000 detectable earthquakes occur,
I have invented SNUGHOOKS, a safer bag hook suitable for the storage of school bags. One of the main features of the design is that the hooks do not dangerously protrude into the space frequented by students or other people. This greatly reduces the possibility of injury. Being a teacher,
In these days, wars and battles have significantly been increasing, and due to this reason, science and engineering are playing a pivotal role in the military field. New inventions and machines are appearing very frequently. More importantly, most of these machines are unmanned drones and robots. The reason of this is that these machines reduce loss of human life,
The technology levels for the Quad Fold Helicopter (QFH) are based on those existing around the year 2010. The levels at 2050 can be assumed advanced some from those levels. An important technology feature is the rotor drive motor at the end of each of the folding booms.
The Piston Deactivation Engine
For many decades it has been the desire of motor engineers to create a “flexible” engine with the ability to vary a number of parameters in order to achieve ultimate economy and/or ultimate performance.
Solar Heating System
Heating is the largest energy expense in homes and that is up to 50% of annual energy bills. Reducing your energy use for heating provides the most effective way to reduce your home’s contribution to global environmental problems.
