There was a long felt need to provide a simple and economic trolley unit, for the roadside garage mechanic which is unequivocally efficient for lifting a motorcycle with ease and comfort for its servicing and maintenance. The present embodiment herein provides a trolley unit,
in this contemporary era, now nearly 18% of electricity is generated by NPP. This distribution is probably similar for continental Europe and Russia, though UK nuclear power plants use only once-through cooling by seawater, as do all Swedish, Finnish, Canadian (Great Lakes water), South African, Japanese, Korean and Chinese plants.
Wireless power based on the Qi standard has established itself as the preferred technology for charging mobile devices in cars, homes, and common spaces worldwide. A broad ecosystem of thousands of interoperable devices has been built over the years, and the majority of OEMs now include wireless charging stations in their vehicles.

A roadway made out of a hard material that is connected in squares. If a repair is needed, you replace the squares instead of the entire roadway. They can be heated through geo thermal so roadway never freezes. No more salt or chemicals.
The aim is to design and develop a smart module that can provide possibilities for usage in personal health and asset monitoring, wearables, and smart homes. The Smart modules will be developed with RSL10-SENSE-GEVK as the core component connected to a custom-made mobile application via BLE for external access, monitoring, and control.
Orbiter mid deck is circular. Its floor has a spheric section curve of very large radius, as if it were a piece of a giant sphere hundreds of feet in diameter. Its imaginary center of revolution is hundreds of feet above.
Deck revolves, rather than rotate as in earlier concepts for artificial gravity spacecraft.
