Sustainable Technologies
Several green initiatives have been attempted, to advance the cause of environmental friendliness of building constructions in contemporary urban landscapes worldwide. Here, a technology is proposed, to harness the power of air draughts (from tiny wisps to gale-force types) by deploying massive planar arrays of microscopic electric power generation turbines using micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) fabrication technology.
Modular Enclosed Unit of Solar Optimized Light
MEUSOL intends to ease a major problem of current society: energy generation.
The concept consists in an array of solar panels disposed in an optimized geometry and distance of a specially designed light bulb that can excite the panels, generating electric current 24 hours per day.
Micro Grid Wind Generators
The idea is to use the existing street lights posts if strong enough to build a micro grids of high-efficient vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) (Figure 1).
As already known, the VAWTs have poor efficiency due to the air resistance of the blades when moving against the wind direction.
Design:
MULTIVODE™ is an irrigation appliance shaped as a multi-layer composite (packed in a roll) designed to store and deliver irrigation water using hydrogel particles of fraction 0.5 to 2.00 mm.
NASA Langley Research Center has developed a novel negative dielectric constant material based on ion conducting materials. A negative dielectric constant material is an essential key for creating metamaterials, or artificial negative index materials (NIMs). NIMs have generated great attention due to their unique and exotic electromagnetic properties, and could be used for unique optical and microwave applications,
1.) NATURE OF TECHNOLOGY/PRODUCT:The Nigam’s Mechanism acts as an extension to the current state-of-the-art motors used in electric vehicles. The Nigam’s Mechanism consists of an extended pair of pipes connected to the inside edges of tires which are further connected to a strong bar magnet with a steep gradient between its poles and mid-point.
A new linear solar collector has been developed and patented that promises to be a less expensive replacement for parabolic trough collectors. Parabolic trough collectors suffer from the difficulty of maintaining mirror orientation for a very large mirror that can be subjected to significant winds.
Restaurants produce a large amount of edible waste oil. Some owners would pour it into the river which causes pollution in the soil and water.
Oil Bubble is a cleaning liquid maker that recycles and reuses waste oil. Making cleaning liquid by pouring the waste oil into Oil Bubble and adding water, natural foaming agent, and thickener.
