The Titus Sub Woofer is taking sub woofer design far outside the box... so to speak.
Boxed sub woofers have an inherent limitation where by the air being pushed about inside the box and through a port (if fitted) by the driver creates sound distortion and fatigue to the driver affecting it’s performance and the listening experience.
Society has been awaiting a mechanical breakthrough on the order of the Wright Brothers, who discovered the way to employ aerodynamic lift, and achieve the miracle of powered flight, over a century ago – and changed the world. Now, after ten years in humble, studied, independent concept and experimentation, by imaginative professional engineers,
Nano hydro electric generator will be added value to generate electricity from the existing cooling circuits in all types of vehicle applications.
With the implementation of the Bharat Stage VI emission norms, the accumulation of ash in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) will pose a serious problem for automotive industries during the operating period. In the future, vehicles equipped with DPF will use a DPF regeneration method to burn the trapped soot. This regeneration process leaves the ashes in the DPF,
Flux Rose (unit) is a connected light fitting that controls the room light via a Wi-Fi connection to the local wireless router. The app in turn connects to the Flux Rose devices via the router and is installed on a phone, tablet or PC.
In addition to controlling the room light or ceiling fan,
The presented project is based on the production of environmentally friendly paper bottles by recycling paper waste. This project provides a wide range of opportunities to reduce plastic pollution, which is considered a global problem, and to use paper raw materials instead of plastic products in everyday life.
What is it?
The “Steptank thermal driven heatpump” is a heatpump that runs on high temperature heat instead of electricity. It is far better than old school thermal driven heat pumps, such as absorption heatpumps, Vuilleumier pumps( Thermolift ) and Boostheat heatpump (www.boostheat.fr).
As global interest in Additive Manufacturing (AM, also referred to as “3D Printing”) grows, researchers and manufacturers in the world are making efforts to integrate AM technologies into the manufacturing industry. However, current titanium alloys used in AM often cool and bond together in column-shaped crystals during the 3D printing process, making them prone to cracking or distortion.
Problem
Standard bioreactors used to grow microalgal cultures have made little progress in their potential output to meet the needs of industrial carbon dioxide emissions. Although the potential value of the algal product is high, maintenance is laborious and costly.
Solution
High density bioreactors (HDBs) are more efficient and less costly to maintain by an order of magnitude,
