The process of soil damage and vegetation loss often begins with the activities of overgrazing animals. Grazing livestock sometimes consume plants down to the ground. This activity weakens the individual plant with a reduction in tissues capable of photosynthesis; its growth is greatly inhibited. In addition, it destroys plant roots that bind the soil together.
What we are currently doing is NOT good enough. Climate goals are being postponed while energy consumers are being tapped dry. I suggest we look at the home energy ecosystem. This ecosystem provides not only electrical energy, also temperature control and charges the electric car. The benefits of this system are reviewed against three goals, saving cost for energy,
Communication in space is becoming increasingly critical, be it between satellites, from satellites to ground or even to/from the Moon or Mars. Current approaches use radio waves that spread quickly resulting in very small capacity: The data rate from the Mars orbiter is a few kbit/s, which is lower than the first-generation home modems decades ago. Therefore,
The initial application of the gun lock shall be to modify a simple service revolver, whereupon the stock components are to be removed from the frame. A hole for the pawl is drilled into back of the trigger guard, the pawl shall be extended to lock position then the unit would be positioned on the frame.
Use atmospheric water generator powering by solar cells;
Then use a small nuclear reactor to convert water to steam to power an electric generator;
Re-condense water vapor into water using heat exchangers;
Use the electricity to power two fan duct motosr to push it onwards.
Because high atmosphere clouds contain water,
Why airless tires currently don’t work for road going vehicles and how to fix it.
I believe because the fundamental principle that makes pneumatic tires so effective has been forgotten which is the constant outward force the air pressure inside provides.
Distributed Queuing (DQ) was originally invented for cable TV broadcasting. However, the first two demonstrations have been on long rang IoT radios such as LoRa and Zigbee. In both demos, packet efficiency rose from a maximum achievable 50% under Aloha, to 98% when DQ swapped with Aloha.

The biggest challenge in any organization is inventory management. Either there is too much inventory on hand or they are in need of it.
My unique innovative product idea is the Rotary Vane Internal Combustion Engine, the main advantages of which are significant improvements in the efficiency, reliability, durability, ease of manufacture and maintenance.
This engine is equivalent to an eight piston engine using two vanes on each rotor with four working cycles per revolution,
Manufacturing being the main pillar of civilized societies, plays an in important role in establishing a sustainable way ahead. In Pakistan, almost all manufacturing models are founded on an timeworn standard in comparison to the advance world. It is true that the culture and economy affects the technology, tools and related options to build sustainable solutions. However,
