When you are thirsty you are already 10% dehydrated, and the adverse effects of this problem range from dizziness to, for the most severe cases, a heat stroke. So far, no method or device has been able to predict when the time will come for dehydration.
hDrop is a non-invasive, inexpensive, and easy way to track hydration.
What I’m about to describe is like a gold mine that has caved in. It’s actually my original patented Aquascooter, a 15 lb miniature gas powered PWC that can pull you through the water in a swimming position, like James Bond, at a surprising rate of speed. It has the power to keep up with Dolphins.
Parcel transportation system (PTS):
For parcel transport, a small networked system denominated PTS Parcel transportation system will allow instant parcel transportation between different areas of a city or territory.
PTS is an independent system to move small packages or parcels,
The Ring
An optimized spaceship for the 21st century
Up to now spaceships were conditioned by missile shapes, with multistage launchers and relatively small payload capability conditioned by the cylindrical fairing dimensions. Such conditions could be drastically changed by a proposed new vehicle with a different shape: the ring.
PROJECT'S NAME:
Educational Toy: The Portable Tree J-1
PROJECT SUMMARY:
This innovative design is a toy model with a similarity to the Atmospheric Transformation Project: The Portable Tree which had a worldwide projection between 2010-2020 from its conceptual design to the functional construction of the laboratory practice equipment, which It encompassed different areas: oil, aerospace, environmental, medical,
In this project a model of an alternative energy source is simulated. In recent years due to increases in greenhouse gas the world needs to shift its energy generation from non-renewable energy sources to renewable energy sources. In this project research work had been done on different renewable energy sources.
A. Cliper is a simple device that attaches to glasses and becomes a fixture for your mask’s ear straps. Cliper also works with safety glasses, sun glasses and fashion glasses.(1) Cliper will fit “standard size” eyeglasses(2)
B. Cliper supports your mask’
The innovation solves the problem of massive demolition, earthmoving, and drilling without using explosives or explosive propellants. The innovation utilizes a linear motor device and projectile (such as a railgun) to create tunnels and shafts, break rock, and move soil. The firing solution is an input of geotechnical engineering data, and the design location/length of penetration.
In comparison to 2020, entry speed controlled bidirectional mechanical traction is applied on B1 and B2 of modified inclined plane to keep A1 and A2 at 45°automated by motorised screw and bolt,
If there's thrust here then, it should boost these.
This isn't so much a design than it is a question: it is entered in this contest so it can be examined and rejoined by individuals skilled in the arts.
Consider: the Laval – a tube having a converging section, a throat, and a diverging section. At Laval inlet,
