Spinal cord injury affects 17,000 Americans and 700,000 people worldwide each year. A research team at NeuroPair, Inc. won the Grand Prize in the 2023 Create the Future Design Contest for a revolutionary approach to spinal cord repair. In this Here’s an Idea podcast episode, Dr. Johannes Dapprich, NeuroPair’s CEO and founder, discusses their groundbreaking approach that addresses a critical need in the medical field, offering a fast and minimally invasive solution to a long-standing problem.

1. Power from the battery powers redesigned electric motor to 1000 r.p.m.,
Auto BMS is a smartphone based baggage management system to reduce loading/unloading time at a very last moment during departures and arrivals. Airports are technologically advanced but still baggage loading/unloading is done manually by handlers.
I have developed a mobile robot with sensors and controls that can be manipulated via a web browser from multiple locations simultaneously. An on board webcam with Pan/tilt provides the teams with live video and audio feedback. There are 4 teams located at 4 different schools participating in a mission.
This technology is based on magnetic repelling principle .We can generate electricity with very little force with the help of this technology.This will be a radical step in the field of energy generation.
It is very difficult to drive on icy roads in the winter season because there is always a risk of skidding of the vehicle and this may lead to chain accidents. Mostly people cannot go outside to do their daily work in the winter season due to icy roads. But using this unique designed Rubber Tube,
Navigation of things (NoT)
Description:
The foundation of the whole system are G modules which contain subsystems like GSM, WiFi, ethernet. The satellite navigation subsystem (GPS) is the primary source of information about the location of the G2 module, which is sent to other subsystems.
ACCORD-Stinger Semi-trailer saving fuel due to “GAP” Reduction @ 422 gals/foot
Projected savings 1688 Gals fuel per unit/year just by reducing tractor/trailer “GAP”
Design adds 20% more cargo space,
This proposal is for an innovative mechanism to selectively reject material from an ore or other material stream on a conveyor, using a sensor to identify “parcels” of streaming material with a specific characteristic (grain size, color, fluorescence, etc.) on the conveyor and diverting those “off-spec” materials. The conveyor may carry the materials at 6 meters per second.
Many developments of hybrid vehicles aim to reduce power of their electric propulsion chain, obviously for economic reasons, but not only. We can also get a better efficiency by reducing the energy transformations and a better safety by decreasing the electric voltage.
As described in a previous contest session,
This technology will work on the principle of Action and Reaction.
MECHANISM:There will be two part of this engine.
The first part will move freely in a cylindrical tube but second part will be stable.
Two motors will be fixed in this engine as per the diagram.
