This design concept provides a key component of a solar concentrated combined heat and power (CHP) system for saving primary energy consumption in cold climate zones. The energy for residential space heating and hot water supply in climate zone 5 in the United States requires a significant amount of primary energy from legacy resources;
There are two types of fiber optic connections: the first is "direct contact" and is commonly used in data centers, fiber to the home, and long haul transmissions only to define a very few. The other is "expanded beam"
Travel to other stars is expected to take centuries unless we discover a faster-than-light technology, which NASA is currently exploring. An alternative is to send small probes at near the speed of light (c). Current methods for accelerating a small mass to near c include rockets or linear accelerators.
It is an ordinary car Nissan 350z. It works thanks to its V6 combustion engine like the original version. However, this engin is enriched with two supercharged turbochargers which increase the performance from 308HP to 500HP. The car is suited for rides in a forrest, draging trees or other towing purposes. Thanks to the height of the vehicle,
Wheel chairs are used by physically disabled and elderly people. Conventionally used wheel chairs contain two big wheels and also two small wheels in the front. Such wheel chairs can travel easily on smooth and even surfaces. However when it comes to rough and uneven surfaces like muddy areas, stony roads, or sloppy surfaces,
Solar energy is the origin of most forms of energy. This energy can be made use of in two ways: the thermal route, i.e., using heat for drying, heating, cooking or generation of electricity or through the photovoltaic route which converts solar energy into electricity that can be used for numerous purposes such as lighting,
One of the biggest disabilities in the world that affect billions and yet to be cured is our vision. The problem with our eye is that it degrades over time, it is not replaceable, and our lenses are sensitive. Because of these problems, our vision, probably the most important aspect into being able to live an efficient life,
Democratization of medicine
Not all human communities have access to top medical analysis like specific major medical centers. Democratization of information, a person in Europe can access information from America thanks to this easy communication. The same principle can be applied in medicine. Communications infrastructure exists.
-Do you hate to clean a messy bag-less vacuum cleaner?
-Are you unhappy with a stinky used bagged vacuum cleaner?
-Isn’t it simpler to throw garbage into a trash bag and replace the bag, rather than cleaning the trash bin? Nobody want to clean an unlined trash bin!
Could we use the same concept in a vacuum cleaner?
Application of the Biefeld Brown Effect
In 1923 Professor Paul Biefeld and his student Thomas Townsend Brown discovered this effect during the test of a new type of capacitor. Basically the Biefeld Brown effect is electro gravitation.
