From home, offices, to industries there is great demand for a variety of exhaust fans. Exhaust fans are available at various specification such as RPM, watts, current, speed. etc. Most industrial units vary huge and high speed exhaust fan are required which runs continuously. Such exhaust fans consume a large amount of electric current and energy,
The Rotodyne principle has a niche market in future intercity travel in thawt the concept proposed will have a cruising speed close to regional propjets, be capable of landing in small areas and able to fly in adverse weather conditions such as low visibility where additional technology provides an augmented reality HUD.
A disposable dual visible layers respirator /mask that has a half transparent cone and a half opaque filtration cone for filtering and being seen through. The unique simple design has a few features:
Dual clear layers plastic film in the top and front portions that eliminates fogging and gives a wide viewing.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a virus that can spread from person to person and has spread throughout the world. The illness caused by the coronavirus starts with particles from an infected person’s cough, sneeze, or breath. These particles could be in the air or (aerosolized) on a surface a person touches before touching their eyes,
The described barge is a novel concept for combining a compressed air energy storage system with an offshore electrical substation serving a deep-water floating offshore wind farm. The concept combines existing offshore technologies with floating compressed air energy storage (CAES) system driven by off-shore wind farm energy.
Our battle with air pollution is not just above ground, it is also under; pollution on underground transportation, e.g. London Underground (LU), can be 20 times* higher than roadside air. The primary pollutants are particulate matter (PM) 2.5 and 10, which are many times smaller than a strand of hair. 
Tired of needing to patch the machine so it is compliant? Using shielded cables and adding ferrite for EMC and additional external relays for safety, only to discover that you still need to add additional shielding to pass? This all comes after a long period of creating the movements (application software) and tuning the motor.
All countries are facing the coronavirus pandemic. This disease is highly contagious. Best way to avoid it is to keep social distancing. But maintaining the distance is difficult in crowded places. No one follows the markings. I am giving a electronics device which will alert us if someone comes very close from behind.
Buildings represent 30% world energy usage, of which 50% is for heating and cooling. Our technology can reduce these energy needs by up to 50%. This would have a vast impact on CO2 emissions, and wasted energy.
