The Active Suspension is one that can be useful for Supercars which utilize their Active suspension for maintaining center of gravity as low as possible, so that on the corners the car won't skid.
To meet the challenges of crisis the project “ENERGY GENERATION FROM HOUSEHOLD WASTE WATER AND EXCRETA (EHWE)” may be a successful way in multi storied building complexes. The ‘EHWE’ uses the household waste water and excreta to generate hydroelectric power and electric from bio-gas respectively.
Our pyrolysis plant, Bio-Alternative (BA), delivers a solution to the growing waste problem worldwide. Our design is unique in its vertical construction and for the first time it is possible to not only recycle pelleted organic pieces, but to pyrolyze any type of organic waste (wood, feces,
Nuclear reactors are the most hazardous areas where human intervention is not possible. Visual inspection is often required to inspect the reactors. To perform visual inspection a camera has to be placed inside the reactor.
Design specification:
• Pressure sensor as an import substitute of thrust chamber pressure and other engines.
• Item description: MEMS based pressure sensing using AlN as the piezoelectric material.
• Sensing technology : Piezoelectric
• Pressure range : upto 10 MPa
• Sensitivity : 10 pC/ MPa

Many villages of India are flooded at rainy season. Water pollution from sinking of toilet occurs. Many diseases are create and it creates plague. The Ganges and others rivers are polluted for it. Except it, place of leaving excreta is another problem.
To save Ganges &
These communities face flooding 3-4 times per year. Combined with open sewerage,
Many people dream of home ownership. Often homes in wealthy exclusive neighborhoods are quiet and away from noisy traffic. However, with urban sprawl, more and more houses are inundated by traffic noise. One solution is to build a sound insulating wall. However,
Measuring DC voltage is fairly easy, but AC with distorted wave forms can be a challenge. The design team at NK Technologies has developed a sensor to measure AC or DC voltage, or a combination of both,
