The benefits of using Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) in braking is already evident from motorsports and production hybrid-electric vehicles. Another area that has a high potential for KERS implementation is the suspension system.
SERS is a suspension energy recovery system that employs a patented reciprocation technique to increase the input frequency to a linear generator,
This idea comes from our web article “Turbocharged Zhou Engine” (), and our invention PCT/CA2014050106 (Japan granted JP6574447, and patent-pending in other countries). So we are working on it.
This invention, Zhou Engine, is an IC engine and also a combustor.
Requirements for the Dart
As a design approach we used the axiom of, "make something you would want to use" and balanced that against existing technologies with strong performance so that a realistically functional and dependable device could be made that could fully leverage the most powerful parts of the human body and natural forces.
Summary
We designed air-powered circuits to control the rhythmic motions of a walking robot without using any electronics. Our research was featured on the cover of Science Robotics and in various news articles including Tech Briefs magazine.
PROBLEM:
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (ultraviolet C or UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. UVGI is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air, and water purification.
Most electronic components can be recycled. This means the proper treatment of electronic waste could for save companies’ money and reduce levels of pollution caused by toxic substances. Therefore, getting the consumer to dispose of their e-waste properly is essential.
There are two main issues to be tackled regarding the proper disposing of e-waste. First,
Fractal ECG is a new innovative technique developed by the Inventors to first quantity and measure the characteristic of ECG wares according to Fractal dimension. Thus for the first time just as how we know the normal BP as 120/80 of normal sugar level as a range of value.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer; second only to tobacco use; and yet, very few people have heard of its insidious carcinogenic effects; and even fewer are aware how to test for such an innocuous health hazard.
Li-ion battery systems are widely used in electrified vehicles. The imbalance of state-of-charge (SOC) between battery modules/cells will bring detrimental effects to the battery. The conventional balancing schemes equalize battery by discharging high SOC cells. They waste useful energy and are not widely applied to balance battery modules. On the other hand,
