All the moving vehicles under motion generate wind quite sufficient to generate small electricity through wind turbines. Placing a wind turbine on the top of the locomotives is another challenge. On the grounds of conservation of energy our idea is to use the wind energy we experience from moving vehicles for power generation. A speeding train, for instance,
Nation-crippling failures of Extra-High-Voltage (EHV) transformers from geomagnetic induced currents (GICs) caused by earth-directed solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have been quantified and impacts highlighted by our mass media for more than a decade. Unaddressed, durations of the power distribution outages will be determined by new/repaired transformer replacements available from very few suppliers.
The prewired chip carrier module package concept is for chip packaging without the need for a wire bonder. Instead you use a tweezers to insert the chip and then replace the cover under the chip from the bottom.
With the introduction to new conductive inks and toners, printing circuits onto
unconventional materials is now possible. This project involves printing electromagnetic coils onto both sides of a paper substrate. With a simple hole punch the coil circuits can be connected in series with conductive ink, glue or foil.
Production of Nanoscale Pores & Slits for Applications Such as Filters, Masks, and Particle Counters
Problem
There is a need for nanoscale pores and slits for nanotechnology medical and research applications that cannot be produced using even state of the art lithography and etch technology. More specifically, pores and slits with dimensions down to less than 10 nanometers cannot be made reproducibly with full tunable control. Consequently,
Last year, I had gone to the bakery at our University (Penn State) for a tour as part of a cooking club team. One of the first things I noticed during the tour was a large oven that had a narrow opening.
A new family of Programmable Fans and Blowers which may be reprogrammed by the user to invoke various features, performance curves, thermal tracking and alarming. The fan/blower is sold as a standard feature product, pre-tested and environmentally encapsulated. A programming connector is accessible under a cover on the product.
Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology has been proven in the commercial sector since the early 1990’s. Today’s rapid advancement in mobile telephone reliability and power management capabilities exemplifies the effectiveness of the SDR technology for the modern communications market. In contrast, transponder technology foundations presently qualified for satellite applications were developed during the 1960's space program.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are aircraft without a human pilot aboard. Flight is controlled autonomously by on-board computers or manually by remote control in a ground station. And an Airship is a type of aerostat (lighter than air aircraft) that can be steered and propelled through air using rudders and propellers. They don’t use aerodynamics unlike aircraft.
The Ram Accelerator, invented in 1983 at the University of Washington, is a novel mass driver consisting of a long straight tube filled with combustible gaseous mixtures such as hydrogen and oxygen. Upon ignition, an aeroshell “surfs the combustion wave” with sufficient velocity to exit the atmosphere. At velocities of ~3km/sec to 8km/sec, (1.86 to 4.97 miles per second),
