For over 30 years several countries, especially in Latin America and Africa, have been facing increasing epidemic crises caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. However, the methods implemented to fight this species failed to contain the mosquito proliferation, since there is no real-time and effective mapping of the affected regions.
Hydrogen powered Airship Concept for Medical and Vaccination Response
Inspired by global issues of having healthcare access, combined with the limitations of current aerial technologies in regards of emissions; the Aeromaric - name of the airship - conceptualize air-travel for medical service. It utilizes 3 independent hybrid electric powertrains with the proven HT-PEM Fuel Cell technology onboard.
Electricity is considered non-renewable energy due to its production by means of coal plants and thermal plants.Therefore, it has to be sustained by humans. But I have a conceptual idea for producing electricity through means of converting wave form of energy to electric energy.
So you are back to your commute, and find the price of gas has gone up 50% or more, perhaps impacting your budget and causing you to consider more fuel-efficient driving. That live miles-per-gallon (MPG) on your digital display might help,
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, every weekend, about 54 million of us care for our lawns and gardens. We use more than 15,000,000 gallons of gas (more the 800 million annually) and producing tons of air polluting volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides.
In the current world with limited resources, undergoing global warming, the economical solutions with environmental low impact must be implemented. On a less (fossil) carbon mobility, the Spherical Chamber Engine (SCE) takes up the challenge!
It is an internal combustion engine, characterized by a spherical combustion chamber, reaching unmatched efficiency, increased by ~37%. Thanks to its exclusive competitive advantage,
