The issue of an easy to use, easy to produce, rugged and weatherproof prosthetic is becoming a reality.
PROBLEM:
Few planets and satellites in our solar system can have the right conditions for life to develop (Mars, Europa and Enceladus). The space missions to explore these worlds are very expensive and we've to develop cheaper technological alternatives with satisfactory results.
PROBLEM:
It is estimated that around 50% of electronic and electric waste is dumped in offices, homes, public entities or warehouses, more than 40% is buried or discarded in garbage dumps and landfills and about 10% enters informal or formal waste management schemes.
Micro cogeneration of heat and electricity in a house is the most cost-effective method of using natural gas to generate energy at the domestic level. Instead of burning fuel to merely heat space or water, some of the energy is converted to electricity in addition to heat.
PROBLEM:
We can do somethings to mitigate and contain the spread of infectious diseases. The first thing is always to understand what they'ree, how they're transmitted and how they affect ourselves. A clear example is the SARS-COV2 coronavirus.
To avoid this issue,
This project is about building a new kind of safety shoes for electrical operators in power grids or any other sites where there is high risk of electrocution while handling electrical equipment that can kill or surely cause high health damage to the operators like electrical engineers,
PROBLEM:
In underground transport, accidents and terrorist acts can happen at any time, and these problems worry users because the solutions for their prevention and mitigation are insufficient: checkpoints, video surveillance cameras, fire extinguishers, emergency levers, etc.
