Spinal cord injury affects 17,000 Americans and 700,000 people worldwide each year. A research team at NeuroPair, Inc. won the Grand Prize in the 2023 Create the Future Design Contest for a revolutionary approach to spinal cord repair. In this Here’s an Idea podcast episode, Dr. Johannes Dapprich, NeuroPair’s CEO and founder, discusses their groundbreaking approach that addresses a critical need in the medical field, offering a fast and minimally invasive solution to a long-standing problem.

As a possible future scenario, one can imagine that you can charge your notebook everywhere without using a plug-in power supply, but instead inductive power transfer. Every mobile device can be charged, just by putting it on a desk.
This entry is all about solving a common problem of Indian households where it takes long hours to search for fuel for cooking. To help we have proposed a prototype of a cooker which can work via solar energy even at night.
This solution is based on this theory that the swinging problems are only created due to flexible wire and if the wire is inflexible then there will be no chance of swinging problem.
This machine is based on gravity power and seesaw system. We can make it more simple.
As per sketch there will be two seesaw systems and both will be attached with a stand.This stand will work to hold the seesaw.
Reaction less Space Propulsion, by Dual Magnetic String Physics of the Anti-Maxwell Magnetic dip around a wire
The New physics of Rigid String Theory called “Quantum FFF Theory”, is a base for new understanding of a strong deviation of the Maxwell magnetic field distribution around a wire.
Many models for estimating solar irradiance exist and there are still more software packages utilising these models. The majority of these models simply look at total irradiance and do not consider the influence of the spectral distribution. More sophisticated models use a single standard spectrum for the whole year.
THE DCCM
- Direct Contact Condensation Motor-
(Newcomen's atmospheric engine re-borne)
Direct Contact Condensation occurs when water and steam meet, causing a violent interaction.
From Pop-Pop boats to BWR Emergency Core Cooling Suppression Pools, DCC has the potential to both delight and destroy.
When making a panel of carbon fiber, as a general rule to finish the process, these panels have excess measures or need special operations of numerical control. These operations are performed with a numerical control (NC) machine.
If we fix a compressed spring or air filled balloon in awkward shapes at the end of a lever bar long enough to multiply any minute unbalanced force and capable of rotation about an axis at the other end and hold the lever bar perfectly parallel to the horizontal
