The future of air transportation is all about protecting the environment and responding to increasing energy costs in a balanced way. In the future, we will need airplanes that are quieter and more fuel efficient and we need to introduce these new technologies without impairing the convenience, safety and security of commercial air transportation.
The invention is an improvement in hand tools. The screwdriver is one of the most common and oldest of hand tools.
A PCR machine is required for every single procedure, test, or experiment involving DNA that you can think of. It is good for replicating DNA a few billion-fold, but is most often used to amplify specific sequences of DNA strands, which is extremely useful in diagnosing any disease or condition based in one's genes. Typically,
In the mid 80's we found in Peru a new material with interesting contents of Gold and Platinum Group contents that had metallurgical difficulties, only to find after long time that such contents were in the form of silicides in the crystal structure of naturally occurring Iron Silicides in hard rock ores and black sands.
The idea is to burn rice hulls in a biomass power plant to produce steam and electricity next to the rice mill where the rice hull is separated and is available in large quantities as agricultural waste.
One then transform the fly ashes (rich in very pure silica) into silica and activated carbon by digestion, filtration,
Wireless sensors are sometimes located so remote that replacing batteries is not an option. Such applications often turn to energy harvesters. Energy Harvesting (EH) also known as energy scavenging for small electronic and low power electrical devices uses ambient energy to provide electrical power, eliminating dependency of battery power, thus they work autonomously for years. Therefore,
I have built and used a totally portable solar heater while camping, household use, emergencies, and businesses.
The idea is quite simple and proven. A dark surface, when exposed to sunlight, quickly heats up, which heats up any surrounding fluid, in this case air.
Walking Mechanical Mule
The Walking Mechanical Mule is a very simple, purely mechanical walking platform. It is based on a special form of unique "7 link mechanism." It is actuated by a simple rotating crank and it has NO additional controls!
The Walking Mechanical Mule presented here was built as a "Proof of Principle" prototype and extensively tested.
Simultaneous Production of Nano Carbon, Hydrogen and Energy
ABSTRACT:
This process is based on compression of acetylene. When acetylene is compressed it explodes, generating thermal and mechanical energy and decomposes to its original constituents; carbon (finely divided) and hydrogen.
PROJECT NARRATIVE:
The scope of work includes full process and mechanical design for a system that can produce nano carbon,
This telescope design consists of a primary mirror shaped to a parabola along a single axis. Whereas a conventional telescope focuses light to a single point, the Single-Axis Telescope spreads its focus along a sensor the same width as the mirror.
I call this a scanning telescope because it is designed to be stationary,
