Currently, by recovering the energy of the exhaust gases the advanced Internal Combustion Engines used in car racing have already managed to reach over 50% total effective efficiency (equal with fuel cell efficiency). However, in order to achieve this level of efficiency the engines have to use an external recovery system attached to the engine block.
What is proposed is a trailer with extra lithium batteries for electric SUV's to allow them to go to remote places where recharging would not be available.
Trailer to be equipped with batteries and necessary converter to extend EV range for SUV going off road
Alternately, for cross country travel, any EV could pull a trailer.
Current technologies for additive manufacturing (3D printing) are mostly developed for on-earth environment which relies on the gravitational force, and any vibration/disturbance must be minimized. However, in many situations, e.g., on space missions where gravity is close to zero, while on air/sea missions (on-board of aeroplanes/ships) where random vibration is unavoidable,
MRIs are a necessary but often anxiety provoking medical procedure. Particularly with pediatric patients, fear is often a barrier to collecting quality MRI data. 49% of pediatric MRIs require sedation and up to 30% of imaging data sets are deemed unusable due to head movement (Power. et al., 2014). These sedations in turn,
The result of this work is the technical implementation of the idea of a reconfigurable elastic-deformable panel that has a continuous smooth shape of the cover surfaces when the panel is deflected by a certain angle and at the same time able to perceive a given normal load.
The reconfigurable elastic-deformable panel (Fig.
Have you ever met the blind in your life? At least you have seen them in movies of other media. Have you ever wondered how they read? Do you have any clue of what struggle have they suffered to read?
Braille books and displays are sold for the blind, but they are too expensive -- up to 7,000 USD.
PROBLEM 1: Global climate change is one of the world’s biggest challenges.
Climate change is recognized as a major issue worldwide. The rising atmospheric temperatures and rising ocean levels are largely attributed to increases in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
GHG mostly consist of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) The GHG absorb heat and release it gradually over time.
1 With the development of the global economy, the prevention and control of atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become a serious challenge in the field of industry and power generation. The VOCs are bio-accumulative, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic, which are important inducements that cause complex atmospheric pollution, induce haze, and photochemical smog.
ReFlo: Maintaining blood flow during a cardiac emergency.
During a cardiac event, the heart’s ability to pump around 30ml of blood maybe decreased or stopped.
