Improve the power to weight ratio, efficiency and increase the life of motor and alternator is of paramount importance in design. In order to do that; I have successfully developed a new concept electric machine that provides up to 50% improvement in power to weight ratio and efficiency, after spending several years to research.
It is sad that world is in emergency due to corona virus. I have a solution to make corona virus's Antivirus. The technology is to use microwave or ultrasonic to resonate lipids in viruses envelop and rupture it and causing virus to eject DNA/RNA.
The thinnest material in existence is Graphene. It has high thermal conductivity, quantum hall effect, mechanical good with high Young's modulus (1 TPa) and intrinsic strength of 130 GPa, high optical transmittance and high electronic transport, barrier and flame retardant properties owing to their zero bad gaps as a single sheet.
Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (APPJ) have an important technical significance: they unite a number of unique properties, including low temperature of a jet medium, existence of highly reactive chemical species, easily controlled plasma dynamics. These properties makes APPJ highly suitable for various important industrial and biomedical applications. As plasma inside APPJ is generated by the gas discharge,
Current technologies for additive manufacturing (3D printing) are mostly developed for on-earth environment which relies on the gravitational force, and any vibration/disturbance must be minimized. However, in many situations, e.g., on space missions where gravity is close to zero, while on air/sea missions (on-board of aeroplanes/ships) where random vibration is unavoidable,
Despite recent advances in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, the available options are still limited and associated with some complications. In present investigation, we aimed to induce biological pacemaker through the insertion of Tbx18 gene, the key regulator of sinoatrial node development, into differentiating stem cells and also rat hearts.
It has a charged track inside it, charged with lithium-ion batteries fitted in gun.
Bullet is made up of aluminium and small button batteries are fitted and connected to body of bullet. Capacitors are used to create high voltage and high current fitted in gun charged with batteries..

Instead of walking to the mail box and finding it empty, or not yet delivered, have a mail box sensor that detects opening, and change inbox volume, and sends notification to a smart phone. The sensor would be battery operated, and should last two years.
Plastic waste pollution is an increasingly prevalent environmental issue around the world. Many companies produce plastic waste through their manufacturing processes, and resource-limited environments - isolated island populations, natural disaster locations, remote operations, and more - continuously bring in plastic products that end up as waste. In parallel to these issues, Page 278 of 1029
