Adjustment of the compression ratio in a running piston engine as a function of operating conditions is recognized as an effective way to improve both light load efficiency and maximum output torque, and is perhaps the last major efficiency improvement available to piston engines in the quest to reach the 2025 CAFE standard of 54.5 mpg.
Recent innovations in vehicle suspension employs active suspension system which imparts best in class ride and handling of vehicle. Active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that controls the vertical movement of the wheels relative to the chassis or vehicle body with an onboard system, rather than in passive suspension where the movement is being determined entirely by the road surface.
Aim:
To prevent accidents by reducing stopping distance.
Motive:
A recent study has concluded that the most of the accidents can be prevented by more effective braking i.e. reduced stopping distance*.
Principal:
In engines used before the late 1990s, the valve-lift of inlet and exhaust valve remain the same for all the speeds of the engine. This resulted into deviation in performance characteristics when the engine was not running at design point. The engine has to change its specifications according to its speed.
The series of vessels are created from one basic form. By adding two basic forms, we get a new shape (vase / vessel). When the cut level of this form is changed, we get the following new forms. Having one basic form we can get a different product. Possible materials: ceramics. Also,
TOPIC: Improvements in On-Road-Vehicles takes inspiration from Aerofoil Sections and Ekranoplans.
As per Illustration 1- principles of Ekranoplan can be used to reduce fuel consumption of vehicles- like trucks- by reducing their effective weight, which would lead to reduction in friction, which in turn, would lead to reduction in traction torque,
Each year, approximately 37 children and hundreds of pets die in the United States from being left inside vehicles on warm days [NBC]. These tragedies are not intentional and usually result from a child falling asleep in the back seat, and parents forgetting their child is asleep. Inside a car, temperatures can rise rapidly. In 70°F weather,
The Velocity EMC (Electric Motorcycle) can be the most energy efficient and safest personal transportation on the planet. Customers are attracted to the styling, sold on the handling and safety, and rewarded with extremely low cost of ownership. The streamlined, composite exoskeleton provides excellent crash protection and all-weather comfort. Doors on both sides ensures easy entry and exits,
Implanted VADs include an electrical power cable or driveline passing through the body tissue and exiting through the skin to connect with an external power supply. The driveline exit site in the skin is sealed by the natural tendency of living skin tissue to adhere to a compatible penetrating foreign object,
If the efficiency of a wind turbine is increased, then more power can be generated thus decreasing the need for expensive power generators that cause pollution. This would also reduce the cost of power for the common people. The wind is literally there for the taking and doesn't cost any money.
