The proposed device consists of a standard shock absorber equipped with a pneumatic cylinder working at high air/gas pressure, able to quickly modify the vehicle clearance on all suspension rides, indifferent of load state, so easy transforming the car in a sport car on speed road, decreasing the clearance or in off-road one increasing it.
Function desire,
The invention can be used as a low voltage DC-motor or as a generator for high currents. There is no clear differentiation between stator and rotor.
This innovative, new software system provides aerospace design engineers with a Windows-based, graphical user interface for design, analysis, development and simulation of aero-thermodynamic systems. This software has the benefits and advantages over existing simulation and performance design software tools by enabling the design engineers to rapidly synthesize, architect, re-parameterize,
It is an attempt to solve a genuine problem of the poor women of the underdeveloped countries. Poor women cannot afford the costly napkins. As the poor women cannot afford the existing napkins they generally pass this period by inserting some waste cloth in the undergarment. So comfort is beyond imagination.
Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, and/or cognition.
India has tremendous scope of generating solar energy and so India’s innovators have proven that ordinary people are indeed capable of extraordinary inventions. Mr. Manoj Gattani, who currently works with Inventive Clean Energy Technologies Pvt Ltd, has recently comes up with his new invention where large amounts of electricity can be saved by using solar energy in AC.
Today’s vision of aquatic equipment is large, expensive, and generally accomplished by installing a permanent pool. Post operation and after injury, it is especially important to ensure that the patient becomes active as soon as possible. Normal land based exercises are often intolerable because of pain, excess weight,
Pneumonia still takes a lot of lives of infants, babies and children in the low resource countries (LRC). Without X-ray images, it is difficult to diagnose pneumonia, or to distinguish it from other simple respiratory diseases.
Traditional rice cultivation system is very expensive and a labor intensive cumbersome procedure. Initially to raise the seedlings itself……..one has to take extra care for preparation of the seedling growing bed, sowing of seeds, weeding, uprooting, caring, storing and lots more. Transplantation is another giant problem.
This bulk of activities make it expensive and labor intensive.
In underdeveloped countries,
The invention outlines the design of a quad-tilt rotor that is implementable on a large scale UAV.
Design explanation:
As the present Aerospace industry is very much interested in VTOL designs, this design is primarily designed for that. To reduce the fuel consumption we used the tilt rotors i.e,
