Do you still use matches, lighters or other high-heat devices? I feel it is time to create a device that is a bit more "with the times."
My invention is for a hand-held, rechargeable battery powered, high-heat device or "electric torch."
This is the H.E.R.T.
I foresee a multitude of uses;
Gesture recognition has a goal of interpreting human gestures that can originate from any bodily motion or state but commonly originate from the face or hand. It helps in building bridge between machines and humans than primitive text user interfaces or even GUIs (graphical user interfaces), which limits the majority of input to keyboard and mouse.
NASAs Kennedy Space Center has developed a novel ruggedized housing for an electrical or fluid umbilical connector that prevents intrusion of dust, sand, dirt, mud, and moisture during field use under harsh conditions. The technology consists of a pair of hand-sized protective umbilical interface housings, each containing a connector with an integrated end cap.
As anyone knows who has changed a tire along a busy roadway, an incredible amount of turbulence is created by airflow over and around passing vehicles. This turbulent air is an untapped, kinetic-energy resource; though, it is difficult to harness due to the chaotic intensity and irregular vectors of the energy. A system—HEAT—
On an average only 30% of the energy in the fuel supplied to an automobile engine is used to push the vehicle forward. A major portion of the rest of the energy, accounting to close to 60%, is either pumped out along with the exhaust gas or expelled through the radiator.
Heat Pipes are used as a simple way to reduce temperature inequities and transport heat from hot to colder parts of aerospace structures. By choosing an adequate heat transport mean, arrangement, and thickness, heat pipes could have the added value of shielding crews from ionizing radiation coming from space,
This invention is a training device used to teach military personnel, SWAT teams, firefighters, and other emergency workers how to safely embark and disembark from the skid of a helicopter. It provides the safest and most economical means of teaching this valued skill.
One of the most expedient way to transport law enforcement, SWAT, emergency responders,
Concept: -
A retractable key holder with spring action, the key can only be used if the user is wearing the helmet. The helmet has a pressure switch which activates the key holder. If the user removes the helmet after plugging in the key into the vehicle then an alarm goes off in the key-holder.
The Shutter Valve is a quarter turn, compact and fully piggable high performance valve that is based on a simple interlocking three petal design. This design gives it the ability to seal at very high pressures just like any other high performance valve. Unlike other high performance valves,
New non-fossil fuel based energy sources has become an important technological need for the next years. This technology won’t only fuel economic growth and contribute to global environmental sustainability, but also reduce the energy dependence on oil. The predominant renewable energy sources include but not limited to ocean wave energy, wind energy, biofuels and solar energy.
