The idea to develop a sport that can be played in space comes as an answer to several questions, most related to the differentiation between game/play/sport and exercise, the second is mentioned very often in space related documentary, articles and books.
Then, several benefits are the result of practicing a sport, like: space awareness, good reflex, eye-hand coordination, etc.
Stationary computer without the big box:
Many people use a laptop instead of a traditional stationary computer just for saving space. They use it on their desk just as a desktop and do not change the location even if it is possible.
Stimulation Waveform and System for Polarity Independent Cardiac Resynchronization
Cardiac resynchronization by electrical stimulation can increase heart performance and avoid the need for heart transplantation for patients with heart failure. Resynchronization is achieved with electric pulses delivered from multiple electrodes in multiple regions of the heart. When conventional cardiac stimulation pulse waveforms are used,
The contamination caused by the BP Oil Spill is an immediate danger to the Global ecosystem. Existing solutions (collection, abatement, dispersal, regaining well head control, drilling relief wells) will either take too long, or will not work to stop the flow. A radical solution is called for.
I propose drilling a set of pilot holes, parallel to the well,
Stored Energy Electromagnetic Transmission
Aim: to replace a hydraulic torque converter with an electromagnetic device embodying an electrical energy storage system.
Primary Market: Existing trucks and buses with automatic gearboxes but conventional torque convertors.
The losses experienced with automatic transmissions come mainly from the hydraulic drive unit and not the gearbox.
The inhabitants of the earth will continue to experience a declining availability of fossil fuels. As consumption of these fossil fuels contribute to global warming through emissions of CO2 there is a rising demand for “cleaner” energy. Advancements have been made towards cleaner energy through the harnessing of solar and wind energy. However,
The apparatus described herein, a mud injector, stops undersea well blowouts by providing a method for injecting heavy drill muds at depth within a stricken well. It is assumed the well pipe has been prepared such that its top is unencumbered by various obstructions, and that the oil is issuing forth at high pressure.
The Problem: Traditional cooking fuels (wood/charcoal, coal, gas, oil, and electric) are becoming difficult to obtain. Fuel resources have either been depleted or have risen in cost, placing a substantial burden on the population throughout the global Sun Belt. The strain is felt among both the affluent regions and developing nations. Those living,
Sunlight is the most abundant renewable energy resource with
an intensity of approximately 1kW/m² and over 1.5×10²²J
(15,000 Exajoules) impinging earth’s surface everyday. This
enormous energy is 11,538 times greater than the daily
consumption of 1.3EJ of the world. Earth's ultimate recoverable oil resource is 3 trillion barrels, containing 1.7×10²²J of energy, which Sun delivers to our planet in 1.5 days.
