Through synergies in infrared sensing and drone platforms, we have found a new innovative way to detect hidden PFM-1 anti-personnel landmines. These particular unexploded ordnance (UXO) devices pose a difficult challenge to conventional landmine detection methods like metal detecting, because the mines are primarily composed of plastic and only weigh 75 g.
Our motor concept is both novel and sustainable. It requires no complicated windings or Rare Earth magnets. The idea utilizes the Lorentz Force: In physics (particularly in electromagnetism) the Lorentz force is the combination of electric and magnetic force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields.
The solution for today’s issue is a habitat dependent on the international energy and water grid. The Urban Living Generator began with a brief in developing and conceptualizing of sustainable vertical housing design for Cabanatuan City by embracing the SIBOL Project or Sustainable and Intelligent Biosphere for Optimistic Living .
In automobile engineering there are many kinds of engines which have been manufactured by different companies but there are several problems that arise in engines like less power output, low efficiency, high altitude, mileage pick up, more fuel consumption, less torque, more exhaust etc.
Scientists estimate that there are about 10 zillion (10x10^16) fish in the sea, which is more than 1 million fish for every human. About 95% of these fish live deeper than 500 meters under the sea. All of these fish require oxygen to breathe. They do not split water molecules into Hydrogen and Oxygen;
ParallelDrive is a concept of convertible fully electric vehicle which is used as a four wheel car and it can transform into two separate bikes. It consists of two bikes and car cabin. In each bike power train unit, power bank, motor controller etc. While converting these two bikes into a four wheeler,
1.The project is mainly focused on an alternative way, best way to get fresh water...almost any place.
2. Its potential is to purify water & can cook in an easier and faster way.
3. It's totally focused on getting maximum radiation absorption from the sun, no electricity required, no polution, light weight.
Energy for transportation vehicles is undergoing a transformation from gas to electricity - why and how does this happen? The primary drivers for 'why' are:
1) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations require 40+ mpg with gas vehicles @ 25 mpg, hybrid vehicles @ 50 mpg and electric vehicles (EVs) @ 100+ empg.
For many years, cardiovascular diseases have been the number one cause of death in Germany. To re-open the morbid narrowed coronary vessels for a sufficient blood circulation, an interventional treatment is possible. In this case the vessel gets expanded and is additionally supported by an endoluminal vascular implant, a so called stent.
The intake system is one of the crucial sub-systems in an engine. The geometrical configuration of the inlet ports and the valves and their opening schedule create organized motions in the cylinder, known as swirl (about the cylinder axis) and tumble (orthogonal to the cylinder axis) which help in proper mixing of fuel and air.
