This design is to add alternators or a charging mechanism to the axles of electric or hybrid vehicles, so that all four wheels can contribute to the system battery charging when moving.
I have developed a micro corrugated structure, which is armed by a special fiberglass paper, joined by chemical processes, which give flexibility in terms of shape. Formed material is processed with different chemical reagents making the final product (photo_1). The final product is a carrier material for catalysts, having the following characteristics. An internal active area of ??
There is usually some accidental liquid along with vapor laden blow-by purged from the crankcase and simply burned at a controlled minimal rate in the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, an essential strategy for maintaining oil quality. Not all of it stays as vapor or makes it the whole distance,
State regulations require that floating roof tanks control emissions when they are cleaned. My company developed a method to control emissions and recover the gases back to liquid for recycling.
The system makes zero pollution and recovers by condensing the gases.
Interactive Vehicle Security is a new
Invention that uses multiple sensors already available and a few that are non automotive based and combines their uses to gather information about you vehicles well being or the state of vehicle/ customer security.
Some of the sensors used are:
1. Wheel/Tire sensors
2. Side &
My design idea relates to energy engineering and more particularly to the alternative energy technology of getting power from the repulsive/attractive force of permanent magnets with no other input.
The potential benefits of this design idea is getting renewable energy along with using sunlight, wind, tides, plant growth, and geothermal heat as sources of energy.
In the Internet of things (IoT), many people think about new products and existing electronics to add IoT. However, something as basic as diaper can benefit from being smart. This project would put a small IoT device with sensor into a diaper or diaper liner pant. The sensor would detect if the diaper needs to be changed.
This study is to investigate a lifting equipment installation of scaffolding in a construction site.
The equipment is foldable to be easy to carry. it must also allow the ground on scaffolding installation without the operator rises in height.
The goal of this development is to place the operator safely, save time for the installation and reduce the number of operators.
DIGITAL CAMERA ADAPTER
The advent of digital cameras has rendered many fine, quality film based 35 m/m cameras obsolete. Many consumers and photographers still own these film based cameras and would desire to continue using them.
