The direct discharge of sewage from trains on railway tracks and platform lead to many harmful effects which are resulting in unhygienic conditions that may also cause spread of diseases, corrosion of tracks, unclean environment to its surrounding. The technology to dispose the human waste hasn’t been discovered by any of the country at present time.
Now all over the world, the water crisis is a big problem for us .After treatment, use of waste water is necessary. If we can re-use the waste water of toilet of train, so it will be truly conservation of water.
At first, it is needed to install a bio-toilet on the train. It is better,
Approximately 35 million people worldwide are living with HIV, a majority of whom live in resource-limited settings. The World Health Organization recommends that every person diagnosed with HIV receives a viral load test at least once per year for staging, treatment decisions, and monitoring of treatment efficacy. The standard laboratory-based viral load test requires advanced infrastructure,

Overtaking is one of the common actions that the driver performs while travelling on the road. Without enough information about the road, overtaking is dangerous and causes many accidents. Although overtaking is important, little research was done in this area. Especially, there is no research focus on helping the driver to judge whether it’
Using the design of the Stirling motor and some adequations we will create the first personal perpetual motion machine as a home energy plant, the first electic plant for the people, and also a power plant for the people who don't want to pay again the electric bill.
Imagine a world with no more electric power plants,
An evaporative cooling tower is a heat exchanger where transformation of heat takes place from circulating water to the atmosphere. The warm water from the condenser is taken as an inlet water to the cooling tower and it is allowed to flow through the nozzles. As it falls down across baffles or louvers,
In the time of digital world, there are many part of the world which still do not know what is a computer and how to operate it? The main reason is many people cannot afford it.
I have developed a computer system which includes:
My prototype was built to balance and distribute weight of an unbalanced vehicle or towing combination. It uses an axle behind the vehicle supported by an air bag or air spring that's capable of supporting thousands of pounds depending on wheel/tire combo and air bag capacity. The ride this device provides is simply amazingly comfortable!
A particle accelerator and containment vessel for anti-matter, specifically anti-iron.
The shape of the accelerator is that of a trefoil. An even distribution of particles along the containment path must be maintained. The total mass of the stream and its speed of traverse determine the strength and scope of the anti-Higgs field.
See Patent #9,175,641.
This invention is an internal combustion engine which uses "stratified compression" to compress air in an elongated cylinder, the Compression Chamber, without the use of a piston. The invention relies on the phenomenon of an explosion at one end of an long cylinder will compress the air in that cylinder to the opposite end.
