OSIP is a modular test/measurement instrument that has full galvanic isolation, an embedded computer, a high power PSU within a 3U rack mount Eurorack chassis while being flexible and having room for improvements to be done by the end-user.
This invention has provided a cooler and electricity generator in one place. It is powered by wheel rotation, solar photovoltaic, motorcycle engine or grid electricity supply.
Overcharging devices such as laptops and cell phones are a wastage of electricity and contributes to battery damage. The invention comprises a clip which can affix to a power strip regulator and switch it off after a set time, e.g. an hour, so the devices would stop charging. The clip comprises a stopwatch which when the time is up,
This device was developed to mix and regulate two different and miscible fluids, and aimed to reduce the energy consumption. The device has two simultaneous/independent functions, according to the operational needs:
It can simply mix two different fluids in any ratio from zero to 99% between them, to leave a third mixed fluid on outlet. In this case,
Transport networks must be allowed to innovate. JPods will trigger this change in 2023.Streets are for people, shops, restaurants, and commerce on a human scale. Turning streets into roads for automobiles over the past century was an epic engineering and policy mistake.
Roads are the wrong networks for cities.
The past ways that students, teachers and finance experts have been taught and understand this subject have been badly biased due to political, commercial and religious doctrines. This confusion of the subject has been unfortunately regarded as making it a pseudo-science. However,
EcoTrack is an innovative sustainability solution that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to empower individuals and businesses to make environmentally conscious choices in their consumption habits.

Time's up! We are in the "tipping point."
So, we're commercializing a piece of NASA R&D for generating cleansing aerosols. These naturally occurring aerosols are what moderate the levels of GHGs in our atmosphere.
Through a recent NSF Convergence Fellowship, I began modeling distribution sites for carrying the aerosols into the atmosphere and have parameters for deployment.
This automatic transmission is particularly developed to replace dual clutch transmissions which are pretty unreliable and expensive in general. This new design of power transmission from an IC engine to wheels or from electric motor to the wheels is having an advantage of fast shifting of gears without lag of power while gear transition, Highly efficient like manual transmission,
I represent a group of engineers and inventors who have a highly profitable, sustainable innovative product and who are open to negotiation to sell, share, or engage in other like agreements. This product will garner €2 million daily. The calculation is simple: if we use a generator 2,000 MW in one day,
