The application of additive manufacturing has allowed a research team at The University of Bath (UK) to significantly improve the achievable performance of SiC and other wide band gap semiconductor devices, allowing an increase in inverter performance that will improve the efficiency, packaging and energy density of electric vehicle powertrains across all transport sectors.
This design is focused on providing a very different approach in the usage of a compass with conventional tools. The concept of draughtsman vernier compass with scale. It consists of pin pointed end, graduated scale, slider. The scale is designed in such a way that the slider can slide over it. Slider can be located at various locations.
A wheelchair as 'a gadget giving wheeled portability and seating support to an individual with trouble strolling or moving about.' In this way, the motivation behind a wheelchair is to work close to home portability. The point of the wheelchair configuration is to deliver wheelchairs that perform well and can give suitable seating and postural help without compromising strength,
Our goal is to reduce RSI and to automate tasks in industries that haven’t used robotic arms yet due to high costs. We accomplish this by using gravity compensated robotic arms, allowing us to reduce motor cost, use simpler power electronics and control, and by designing backdriveable and inherently safe robotic arms.
Joystick, a video game controller designed for gamers who entertain us through their streams.
So the important thing which drives me to design this product is "The Ergonomics." We know the Gaming community is the industry that has benefitted the most in these days since the Pandemic.
1. How NOVOLab works?
A low-cost IoT solution to individuals and educational institutions, NOVOLab is a lab-scaled open loop wind tunnel which can be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world to ease study as well as help to curb the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
2. What makes NOVOLab novel?
Bulletproof vests are very important and I hope you don’t have to use them in your lifetime because using them means you are being shot at. You cannot always control the action of others so you need a means of protection like a bulletproof vest until you decide to return action in kind and amount.
This conceptual design is one of the futuristic designs in my thoughts.
My design is for an E- VTOL ( ELECTRIC- VERTICAL TAKE OFF LANDING) Vehicle, which can operate in small areas, without using a runway. Takeoff and landing is done at the same place using turbopropellers, and maneuvering at low altitude, and maintaining safety.
In my thoughts,
My lengthy searching of Plato's works, resulting in the Discovered Invention of a New Polyhedron the “GENERATOR POLYHEDRON” [2017 –a Non-Regular Icosahedron, Relating the 5 Platonic Polyhedron] together with my own parallel considerations and questions for the actions and mechanisms of the Galactic Spirals,
The main purpose of project prObe is to design and develop a next-gen aerial autonomous robotic platform (UAV), for extreme and challenging environments. Capable of undertaking high quality data acquisition activities, for inspection and decision-making operations.
The concept lies within propulsion system hidden inside spherical shape which enable device that will be safer for human environment.
