It began with keel design during controversy surrounding Australia II's winged keel. I started with the probable first-ever Bulb&Fin keel design, then further modified it with a radical roll moment system on the fin,
This furniture is easy to transport; every part of this product joins together with fastening parts like: bolts or screw and nut and... .......
If you want move this you can open the fastening part and move to new place and assemble it again.
The proposed solution focuses on using a combination of solar energy and super-capacitors to reduce the dependency of large vehicles (e.g.: Buses) on conventional energy and in parallel enhance battery life by preventing deep discharge cycles.
The world today is concerned about saving the environment. Everywhere measures have been taken up to reduce pollution. Major amount of air pollution is caused by vehicle running on roads.
Design concept of this project is simple: to reduce exhaust emission & satisfy emission norms in INDIA. Device contains one cylinder, one filter & two pipe connections -- one to connect exhaust silencer to cylinder & another to cylinder to open air.
The International Space Station (ISS) is subject to debris traveling at great speed from almost any direction. Normally debris is tracked by ground radar. However, it is limited in the size that it can see and sensor on Earth position. Therefore,
Technology:
The sensor system is an intelligent damage detection “skin” that can be embedded into structures, providing a lightweight capability for in-situ health monitoring for space or aircraft vehicles, inflatables, deployables, extravehicular activities (EVA) suits, smart wearables, and other applications where prognostic impact damage monitoring might be critical.
When it comes to upgrading our homes and offices, we think of almost anything. However, we are never ready to be prepared for the worst conditions like earthquakes.
Sadly a lot of people have suffered from natural disasters like earthquakes causing death and serious injuries.
Built for exceptional speed on fairly calm water, it is a pedal-powered racer with highly advanced fluid dynamical design features integrated into a lightweight surface-skimming hull,
Deep frying is not possible by method steam generator boiler. In the present conventional method for deep frying of commercially food manufacture unit, the utensils (vessel) are heated directly over the burner but in my innovative method, the vessel (jacketed kettle) is heated by the circulation (by ¼ H.P.
