Problem:
Do you hate to wait in line when you are ready to checkout? Even in today’s Self-Checkout station requires that each item to be checked out to be scanned manually.
As urban density increases, traffic is becoming a problem that requires new and innovative solutions. Adding additional lanes is not sustainable in most cities as spare real estate becomes impossible to find. The Superway is a public transportation system that aims to allow personalized, point-to-point travel while removing congestion from the roads. Additionally,
You will be shocked to know that-Globally 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted per year due to lack of proper processing.On the other hand, according to the head of the U.N. food agency 18,000 children die every day because of hunger and malnutrition. So,
The impact of climate change on coastal communities in the Canadian and other circumpolar Arctic requires building more robust sustainable community infrastructure with less dependency on outside resources.
The Renewable Energy Hydrogen Systems have been used to produce power. However, the most valuable component of such systems for rural farmers is the water by product. When configured onto a mobile system, the RE Hydrogen System allows farmers to bring the resources to the fields in need of water and to use the power for vehicles,
Swift Tram is an emerging rapid transit system that will get people from their starting points to their destinations more enjoyably than any other transit alternative available today. Swift’s automated (driverless) system is elevated, completely avoiding pedestrians, bicyclists, automobiles, and stoplights, and offering views of the world below. System operators can offer scheduled and/or on-demand service,
The swing bike is an entertaining mix of a typical playground swing and a bicycle. Pictured is the preferred two-person model. The swinging motion is transferred to the wheels in proportion to the control of one of the operators. Steering is also under the control of an operator, perhaps the same or the other.
A practical electric vehicle direct drive traction motor must be capable of accelerating into traffic from rest, be able to run at highway speeds, be capable of regenerative breaking and running in reverse. Such a motor must be brushless since using brush slip rings to feed current to a rotor is inefficient and require high maintenance.
This invention involves controlling the unwanted acoustic noise inherent in a highly concentrated flame by modulating an electric arc embedded in the flame. The purpose of the arc is to generate an inverse modulated signal, which will inhibit the unwanted noise, generated by the combustion gases in the flame.
This system takes advantage of a piezoelectric transducer that produces electrical energy from mechanical stress. The vibration produced by the automobile is absorbed by the shock absorber and transferred to piezoelectric material. The experimental setup consists of spring based shock absorber, piezoelectric crystal. The piezoelectric material is placed between each coil spring or leaf spring of the shock absorber.
