Physically challenged people are often treated as an outcast of the society. They face a number of physical, psychological, social, emotional and economic problems. Apart from the social problems they face from the world that has turned apathetic and hostile towards them, the problems due to their disability is also of great concern.
The idea is to use energy stored in rocks at very deep levels in the ground minimum 30,000'. Water will at this level pick up the heat by passing fine cavities from one hole going down to one hole going up. The new shale oil drilling technique will provide efficient methods also for water instead of oil.
It's a bird, it's a plane, or is that a man inside a Quad-copter Drone. First imagine what it would be like to fly. Then imagine a person wearing a quadcopter or quadcopter wearing the person. Also imagine what it would be like to have a guide with you wherever you go and who can actually listen.
Research and development of fields such as seabed composition, communications with in situ oceanographic instruments and marine biology will be greatly assisted with the development of a low cost, cluster computer capable of generating and graphically displaying underwater acoustic fields.
Abstract: Concept design for a new age computing system. Breaking away from the age of planned obsolesce,this product allows easy up-gradation to newer technologies. Modularity, power and performance sharing onto a common hardware platform are the USPs of the product. It also re-looks at the way computing devices are viewed by the users, in terms of forms,
My conceptual design APC (Auto Power Cell) can power any electrical and electronic appliances without providing fuel or anything else to it. APC consists in its container - one Cl+ ion block , one Cl- ion block, two thin glass layers and a thin layer of N-Type and P-Type semiconductor with band gap in between them.
This patent filled topic deals with pest control. ZE-CU-RE stands for zero current repellent. The existing model of mosquito repellent is based on heating a repellent liquid using a carbon rod. The rod is heated by means of electricity.
I would like to thank for the opportunity given to me. My area is automotive/transportation in order to increase the performance and fuel economy. The main object of this project is to reduce the TURBO LAG which is created in a turbocharger and also to make it compact in size.
A concept of novel modular multispeed transmissions is proposed for electric vehicles, with the total number of underdrive and overdrive speeds dictated by the application needs.
The first variation includes two separate gear trains, as shown in Fig. 1: one for underdrive, and one for overdrive speed ratios.
