A third-generation solar photovoltaic (PVT)and thermal panel was developed and patented. Its field tests have began both in the north Netherlands and Turkey to cover the entire climatic spectrum of Europe and other countries on the globe. This technology has the following attributes,
Analysis of Farm Data
Mapping of farms, acreage, yield with GPS-enabled sensors which would be used to receive data for the different stages of crop development during the entire growth cycle.
Identification of necessary inputs via AI-enabled platform
Using available literature,
There is an increasing number of home devices connected to the Internet to make our lives more comfortable, from televisions to refrigerators, which is known as IoT. Considering this I have developed a pencil holder with an interactive to-do list, which integrates a screen and a gesture sensor.
Litterbug was created in 2018 as a solution to the overwhelming amount of paper cups littering the streets, nature-strips, and storm water catchments.
Litterbug cups are embedded with seeds and can be planted to grow regenerative food.
After completing the successful testing phase,
PROBLEM:
Breathing quality indoor air is critical for good health. Humans spend a significant amount of time indoors—either in the home, office or other types of buildings—where gases, chemicals and other pollutants can cause headaches, eye irritation, allergies and fatigue.
PROBLEM:
Electricity around the world is becoming more and more expensive. With the global crisis, consumers are constantly looking for new ways to reduce their electricity costs, I assure you that there's many ways to save energy in your home. Most techniques and technologies cost money,
What problem does this idea solve? Improvements in electrical device efficiency, such as replacing incandescent light bulbs with LED, have lowered total electrical consumption in the USA. While this trend will likely continue,
Aramid fibers are very effective for ballistic protection systems, particularly bullet proof vests. When aramid fibers are compared to steel, on an equal-weight basis, its strength is five times higher than steel. Due to natural degradation and security issues,
The concept of an inertial propulsion spacecraft was developed in response to the limitations of propulsion in the form of low- or high-temperature plasma recoil in current rocket propulsion systems.
