The project will allow converting low potential thermal energy into mechanical energy and then using mechanical energy to convert it into electric energy. Heat can be obtained from geothermal sources, direct solar heating, wind or any other sources.
While washing dishes by hand, an idea came to mind - how much water and energy (to heat the water) could be saved by taking advantage of the power of modern control systems, machine vision and learning?
The state-of-the-art automated wheelchair is designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by providing both comfort and independence. Equipped with an integrated massager, this wheelchair offers therapeutic relief to users, helping to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation.
Charging a pacemaker’s battery from a certain distance cannot be achieved by tightly or loosely coupled electromagnetic resonant charging. To overcome the above challenge, we developed a device that charges through an uncoupled radio frequency (RF). Wireless charging method will help patients to avoid surgeries.
