The proposed system is to save life from the bore wells. Small children without noticing the hole dug for the bore well slip in and get trapped. Since the holes are dug too deep it is quite impossible to save life. The fire force and medical team find it difficult to rescue children due to unknown levels of humidity,
"Transluctance" conveys the Transfer (or shift) in reluctance of a rotating magnetic field (RMF) disposed of a prime number of equally distributed coils via excitation shift of one only coil at a time.
A method of time travel and time reversal was put forward in the 2017 Create the Future Design Contest. This entry is about improvement in the efficiency of the claimed device.
Image 1 shows spring SP with bigger inner diameter but lesser spring constant.
Forest dwellers (Tribal) are dependent on forest for their livelihood. Wild life safari provides a much needed source of sustainable income without dislodging them from their environment. However, the vehicular movement causes pollution at highly ecosensitive places. Presently, a 4x4 army disposal vehicle is used for this purpose.
Green treasures paving bricks/slabs solve the problem of environmental pollution through innovative technology because they are manufactured from waste polymers and recycled tyres that are clogging drainage systems and littering the environment.
Potential Benefits
- It proffers solution to bad roads and potholes when used in road construction due to its waterproof nature.
This project is a conceptual design of a rotating garden wall concept named "MiracleW all." This wall, when unlocked, can be rotated 180 degrees manually or by mechanical means. With planters attached to the wall, light gardening for food or hobby would be possible for high-rise dwellers in high-density metropolis. Unlike gardening with planters on the balcony,
Zero Drill : Nut Free Vehicle -- Weight & Cost Reduction with High Performance, Better Functionality
Present Issues: Nut welding field failures in vehicles.
Scope: New Design required to avoid the Nuts from the Vehicles but basically it most & should qualify the better than nut functions without failure. Zero Nut vehicles.
Idea of Design: Developed the basic design which is nut free &
Air resistance is the biggest obstacle to achieving high speeds. My method is based on the fact that the wagon is in the tailwind. The air is transported as fast as the carriage travels. The carriage travels in a rectangular channel. (It can be round but then you get less load space.
My idea is to help facilitate a hydrogen society with the use of H2 as a non-polluting fuel for use as a lifting gas and for the propulsion of said vehicles. Unlike the Hindenburg,
