My aim behind desiging this machine was to make easier and faster work for the worker working at the construction site. This machine consists of the 3 level screen system, which is used to separate different grades of material like coal, pebbles, agricultural material and etc.
Our Vision and Aim for this Project.
Our vision is to provide each and every user of electricity with the best possible chance of finding a green energy with zero emissions and no environmental impact that can influence our life on earth dramatically.
About the Project.
The Clothing Creator is automated process for apparel manufacturing, a machine to make clothing without direct human intervention. The Clothing Creator system goes from a bolt of cloth to a finish garment in a 45-second cycle that combines 3D fabric molding and ultrasonics to affect the cutting/seaming.
Mission
K-Control is a kinematic mechanism that will allow concentrated solar power to become economically feasible for individual homes and communities by significantly reducing the cost and size of heliostat arrays.
Why is this invention needed?
If we were to design a large continuous mirror to reflect incident light onto a single point,
The CVL comprises of 2 Constant velocity joints at two ends and a variable length shaft in between.
The varying shaft comprises of two parts, one with external spline on a rod and a female hollow pipe with internal spline.
Card On Guard is a lightweight, thin and self-sustaining solar card that captures, magnifies and reemits UV and Infrared light that inhibits bacteria and fungi growth replacing 50% - 100% of traditional pool/hot tub chemicals. The design provides the solar card with as much direct contact with the water and light as possible...
Enduralock's creative spirit in aerospace engineering has brought to existence a proprietary portfolio of never-before-seen fastener technologies – Radial Lock Fastener, Axial Ratcheting Fastener, Radial Ratcheting Fastener.
Jet fuel for propulsion uses hydrogen and oxygen as fuel. These elements are costly to produce and store, and cost human life and dollars of tech when something goes wrong. The problem is due to various factors like containment, expansion, pressurization etc. Hence I have come up with an idea to reduce problems in propulsion fuel.
Idea is,
This technology is related and was realised by the study of biological polymers, their chemical composition and modifications to suit specific evolutionary adaptaptions.
Most manufactured polymers are chemical combinations designed to meet a singular specific need, whereas biological polymers are combinations of such individual chemical combinations. When described in a simple manner they are 'mechanical composites',
