Fluid-Driven Emergency Lighting combines an innovative water turbine micro-generator with LED light engine to form two unique devices: Fluid-Driven Nozzle Light (FDNL) and Fluid-Driven Sprinkler Light (FDSL). Whenever water flows through the turbine blade within the micro-generator, a small part of the energy is converted to electricity to power the light. In fire sites,
Tires do not only leak air if punctured, they also leak air naturally, and over a year, even a typical new, properly mounted tire can lose from 20 to 60 kPa (3 to 9 psi), roughly 10% or even more of its initial pressure. It is estimated that 41% of accidents with physical injuries are linked to tire problems.
My project is about a license access vehicle. Nowadays you've heard that most of the road accidents are caused by rash driving by school students of age below 18. Though there is a strong order of government that those under 18 years are not allowed to drive the vehicle, students do not mind at all if they are driving the
My name is Saugat and I am from Nepal. My project entitled “Modification in aircraft wing to increase lift” is theft from the engineering of nature seeing birds flying around the sky. Like humans, birds are the perfect engineering creation of nature.
My concept provides a much faster fluid flow mechanism into or out of a control device. The device could be hydraulic, pneumatic or any other fluid that must be controlled precisely.
Servo valve operators typically perform this function. However, typical servo valve operators must change their movement direction to initiate a downstream valve action.
The Medical Diagnostics and Drug Delivery Device is a device that aids anyone for point-of-care, diagnosis and treatment options. It utilizes integrated technologies for enhanced and advanced medical care. The Med.D.D.D.D. encapsulates a nano-medication delivery system, Automated Emergency Defibrillator device, computer system with microprocessors and graphics processors, cell phone/videophone capability, a flexible,
My entry solves problems common to most engines including the attainment of high efficiency, simplicity, ease of manufacture, use of multiple fuels, reduction in weight, and the number of parts.
The benefits of my engine are many, utilizing renewable energy, reducing the depletion of fossil fuel and the carbon footprint. It would be a “green” engine.
We are developing an adaptable human-electric trike that fits into our vision of cities of the near-future. Yax is an efficient vehicle for getting through urban traffic and carrying loads beyond a bicycle's capability. It also goes in spaces where trucks and vans can't go.
I have designed a quadcopter. I also have designed a lot of automobile components (ex: suspension gearbox, cvt, rollcage, eye joint ,ball join, knuckle,steering, etc). I have not gotten any coaching or professional help from any person. I have learned some things by youtube and lot of things myself.
A quadcopter, also called a quadrotor helicopter or quadrotor,
I.C. Engine with oscillating shaft is an innovative new internal combustion engine technology claiming high performance, typically minimizing internal resistance. It claims higher efficiency, higher power, lighter weight, least starting effort, fuel saving in idle running, and miniature starting power source.
