A new method to obtain electrical energy is proposed. It is based on the use of the energy of an oscillating pendulum. As its movement is slowed by the friction with air, the innovation is the presence of a "drag-compensation system" that acquires energy from wind, as described in the figure 1 attached.
The Energy/Power system is an Axial Flux Generator, which is driven by a DC Brushless Motor, intermittently pulsed and running at high rpm's. The rotors are spun as a flywheel by the motor and are embedded with neodymium magnets that pass over copper windings, and produce electron flow through the coils.
THE PROBLEM
Up to 75 percent of women in developing countries do not give birth in hospital settings. Care is typically provided by minimally trained attendants, or sometimes family members, who lack the skills to deal with complications during delivery. Three main delays cause the high rate of maternal deaths in developing countries: delay in identifying complications,
What problem does your design idea solve?
Reduce the number of people killed or injured by vehicles in the workplace. Prevent accidents, save lives, reduce injuries, reduce insurance expenses without increasing the vehicle operator workload.
How does your design work?
Pedestrians wear OSHA approved OnGuardTM Safety Vests (Orange or Yellow) embedded with 20m range RFID tags.
The Trekr Design Erosion Control Mat © is made from discarded tires. The tires are cut in half along their circumference as one cuts a bagel in half. These are then joined in groups of seven by the use of stainless steel staples or hog-rings.
I am pleased to present to you Everlasting Memories, as invented by Tony Pettry. Conceptually speaking, this invention is a line of headstones and grave markers featuring interactive video screens which display photographs, home movies and audio commentary of the departed.
Evolutive Software Design Paradigm (ESDP) is a paradigm of software creation backed up by the Artificial Intelligence field. What is it about this idea? It is simple, software that is capable to learn with user's experience using it ("learn" as in enhancing functions by itself, or even create new ones).
Within the petrochemical industries, the risk of violent, hazardous events caused by a chemical reaction is reduced by the use of a Safety Instrumented System (SIS).
The ID Digital Camera is a device that law enforcement can use to automatically ID "persons of interest" in the vicinity by matching the image on their viewfinder to the police database of felons or victims (mug shots)on file.
Forearm and Shoulder LIFTING STRAPS are well known. They help reduce the effort needed to lift and move large, heavy objects. They make it much easier for a team of two people to safely get the job done.
When cargo is placed on a truck or trailer to be transported, TIE DOWN STRAPS are generally employed to secure it.
