For some modern-days applications (as microrobotic [1,2]) there is a need for compact power sources. We suggest a novel approach based on smart low-symmetry materials. They can generate DC and pulsed high voltage without any electronics with versatile power supplies (sunlight, laser, heat/cold, mechanical stress).
Innovation:
A team from Caltech, JPL and Dow have designed an autonomous, quadruped, climbing robot that can inspect the interior of complex chemical plant equipment. The motivation is for a safer alternative to human entry into confined spaces.
Over 1,000,000 people are killed each year during urban disasters. 2,500,000 people will be permanently disabled or displaced, and the affected communities will take 20 to 30 years to recover and billions of dollars in economic losses. If we can reduce the initial response by one day we can reduce the overall recovery by 3 years.
For the implementation of decarbonization at the industrial level, it requires the establishment of mechanisms through which environmentally friendly energy sources can be provided.
Brake Horse Power (BHP) and Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) are few parameters which are taken into account while designing an engine. Power to be produced in the engine needs specific fuel consumption, basis the calorific value of the fuel. For extracting maximum power from the combustion process, it is intended that all the fuel is completely burned.
PROBLEM: One of the problems with beam scaling systems, as well as command systems, is that the surface-to-air missile must have great maneuverability to intercept an evasive target. As they approach a target, beam-scaling missiles generally must adjust their turns to continue the rate of climb against the target. At high speeds,
Highly capable small UAVs provide substantial business opportunity, especially if allowed to operate in the suburban market. Reliability issues force the use of a safety pilot for each vehicle in operation, which is cost-prohibitive for large scale commercial applications and limits the use of these vehicles to line-of-site (LOS) operation.
Rear-end collisions account for 33% of accidents on U.S. roads. This class of accident accounts for 44% of fatalities (50,000 deaths per year).
Detailed analysis of rear-end collision accident reports showed that the majority of rear-end collisions occur on straight highways, in good weather conditions, good road conditions, and during daylight hours. Further, new old,
Once upon a time I would have been ecstatic about the BWB becoming a reality. Now, there is another, a simpler, cheaper to produce and maintain airfoil body that can outperform the BWB/HWB in many areas. It's called the Lifting Fuselage Configuration (LFC). See patent D984,353. Using NASA's PRSEUS composite, it can be built for much less.
In recent times, numerous cases of death caused by asphyxiation among well cleaners have been reported, The safety of employees is of utmost concern in homes and workplaces where wells and small spaces are common. so, I have made a solution called "Well Cleaners Early Warning System" or "Well Cleaners EWS.
