The explosive growth of ridesharing has engendered problems of imposter drivers, unsafe vehicles, ride identification uncertainty, and unmonitored service. These problems impact passenger safety, passenger stress, driver security, and service efficiency. RideSafe™ mitigates these problems.
From the diagram have a similar construct that is reflectant to radiation on the inside and have a airtight seal at the entrance of the construct that allows radiation to pass through. Then have a complete vacuum on the inside.
The Journey of finalization of object should undergo many mechanical operations such as milling, drilling, Turning, welding, Tapping. So in all these operations different types of fixtures are used for holding work pieces, my designed fixture helped in innovating in a Fabrication of structural members of an ATV.
90% of the total energy in the vapour compression cycle is used by the compressor. In order to save electricity in this project a modified form of vapour compression cycle is used. In this cycle the compressor is eliminated completely, &
“Static Wireless Electrical Energy Technology”
Earth & Sky Energy LLC has developed “Static Wireless Electrical Energy Technology” (S.W.E.E.T.), a unique solid electrical material. It is cost effective and sustainable, the result of an electricity processing discovery.
This project is about a supplemental skin that respires. It is a garment for the modern human, who wanders during the day in the city, a “microenvironment” around the wearer that interacts with the broader changing environment and helps to maintain the condition of thermal comfort.
