A lot of action is taking place to find 100LL replacement for GA aircrafts. This includes EPA testing four new unleaded fuel blends and some aircraft manufacturers installing compression ignition engines that will use Jet A fuel.
In my opinion there is a simple alternative that will substantially reduce conversion cost &
Since the early 1950s electric utilities have installed millions of miles of low-voltage underground cables to improve the reliability and resilience of secondary power distribution. Early cable technology included butyl rubber insulated conductors and paper insulated lead coated cables. Over the decades,
The major disadvantage of most chemotherapeutic approaches to cancer treatment is that most are non-specific which results in the well-known side effects. Magnetic drug targeting offers a major advantage through targeting a specific site, such as a tumor.
This design is a ruggedized, secure computer cube called Lockbox™. It is able to securely store data as a desktop All-in-One as well as act as a network attached storage on both LAN and its own Wi-Fi. The current working design of Lockbox is a 6 inch cube,
GearRail™ is a low-cost, easy-to-assemble linear motion system that is constructed from simple 3D printed parts and common off-the-shelf hardware components. This novel system is being released as open source hardware under the CERN Open Source Hardware License (Version 1.2).
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED
Personal manufacturing devices such as 3D printers, CNC routers and milling machines,
Low cost quake proof shelter is meant for locations that have a history of earthquakes and also in high quake risk zones. The idea here is for governments and NGOs to build the shelters for poor people who bear the brunt of quakes due to improperly built dwelling units.
The construction of the shelter is simple.
Low-cost Third Redundancy in Hydraulic Power System

Traditional TURP surgery (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) for BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) removes excess prostate tissue using a heated wire loop with side effects such as death (1%), incontinence (3%), impotence (5%) and retrograde ejaculation (75%). Alternative techniques using lasers use $1,000 disposable fibers but offer greatly reduced incidence of side effects.
NASA’s Langley Research Center has developed a system to detect and locate atmospheric clear air turbulence (CAT) by means of a ground-based infrasonic array to serve as an early warning system for aircraft. This system could augment existing systems such as pilot reports (PIREPs), airborne lidar, and airborne radar.
Abstract: At present, there does not exist in the market a low orbit, generic and inexpensive platform from which to conduct scientific research of the upper atmosphere. Such a platform has to have instrumental flexibility and a reliable communications link, with enough bandwidth to support experiments that produce a high rate of data output in real time.
