This research work is concerned with the evaluation of mechanical properties – tensile, tensile modulus, hardness and impact strength of waste tire particles fabric-reinforced polyester composites. In this connection, tire particles and Matrix were fabricated by conventional hand lay-up process followed by light compression moulding technique and tested for the different weight ratios (25:75, 50:50, and 75:25).
The idea of this project is to utilise the waste thermal energy (heat energy) being generated in automobiles. It involves the trapping of heat energy being generated from the heat source in the vehicle and converting it to electrical energy which can be used for many appliances.
INTRODUCTION
This invention is a special device which prints embossed dots to form Braille alphabets on paper. This device can print dots on normal printing paper with any thickness or surface finish. This device creates elevated dots printed using a special type of UV activated resin based ink. On conventional Braille printer,
In an attempt to improve upon the ideas originally proposed by Dr. Robert L. Forward in his article: Starwisp: An Ultra – Light Interstellar Probe (J. Spacecraft, Vol. 22, No. 3, May – June 1985, PP. 345 – 350), a previously written and unpublished paper entitled: "Starwisp Reevaluated" and later associated follow up ideas were developed.
Radar IR scanner system that is inexpensive enough for single situation use but rugged and built tough to last like a quality electronic item could and should. The unit is a combination of a far light infrared camera using the latest inexpensive
Nowadays it is important for efficiency and environmental safety, with this in mind I have a solution to improve the present fluorescent light.
By combining Helium and Xenon in a clear tube the presence of Mercury vapor and phosphor is no longer needed and although the fluorescent light is efficient it also has a environmental concern.
The efficiency of diesel engines can be increased if the energy in the exhaust gases were better utilized. The invention (USPTO 8,210,136) shown here allows the hot combustion gases to expand a second time within the engine. The power from that secondary expansion is used by the other cylinder’s supercharger.
Forced Neutral Regenerative Carbon Cycle
The main purpose of this system is diminish carbon dioxide content both in the seawater and in the air by reducing and balancing its composition in order to mitigate world global warming.
Machines have contributed their presence in cultivation which has greatly reduced human effort and by removing weeds so that there is no consumption of nutrients from soil by weeds. In conventional method of cultivation, tractors cultivate i.e.
