Green treasures paving bricks/slabs solve the problem of environmental pollution through innovative technology because they are manufactured from waste polymers and recycled tyres that are clogging drainage systems and littering the environment.
Potential Benefits
- It proffers solution to bad roads and potholes when used in road construction due to its waterproof nature.
This project is a conceptual design of a rotating garden wall concept named "MiracleW all." This wall, when unlocked, can be rotated 180 degrees manually or by mechanical means. With planters attached to the wall, light gardening for food or hobby would be possible for high-rise dwellers in high-density metropolis. Unlike gardening with planters on the balcony,
Zero Drill : Nut Free Vehicle -- Weight & Cost Reduction with High Performance, Better Functionality
Present Issues: Nut welding field failures in vehicles.
Scope: New Design required to avoid the Nuts from the Vehicles but basically it most & should qualify the better than nut functions without failure. Zero Nut vehicles.
Idea of Design: Developed the basic design which is nut free &
Air resistance is the biggest obstacle to achieving high speeds. My method is based on the fact that the wagon is in the tailwind. The air is transported as fast as the carriage travels. The carriage travels in a rectangular channel. (It can be round but then you get less load space.
My idea is to help facilitate a hydrogen society with the use of H2 as a non-polluting fuel for use as a lifting gas and for the propulsion of said vehicles. Unlike the Hindenburg,

Air conditioner - exhaust heat storage in summer (sodium acetate)
Heat retrievement in winter.
basic idea : no air vent for elimination of heat for stand-alone air conditioner appliances but storage of heat in swappable cartridges.
Utilization of physical state changes in a chemical substance solving/melting for heat storage and crystallization for heat retrieval.
