The IoT-based Plant Weaning System is an innovative solution designed to optimize plant care processes, specifically addressing the crucial phase of plant weaning. This system leverages the capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance efficiency, precision, and automation in plant cultivation. By integrating sensor technologies,
Dishwashers in their current state require preparing, loading, and unloading the dishes just to have a machine take care of some of the work. In a world of crazy technologies like neural implants, nanotech, and the colonization of Mars, it's about time AI handled the dishes.
SolarAir Cylinder (SAC) - Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Units - provide Clean MW Electricity Production
SAC is designed to cleanly, affordably and efficiently charge EV batteries on highways and in other locations.
Where would this idea be applied?
The illustrated dancing snowman is a simple mechanism that combines articulation and side shift to provide adjustable on-the-go variable head and body motion to an inflatable yard decoration.
What problem does your design idea solve?
RSangoma is computerized application. The name RSangoma is derived from a word Sangoma which is a traditional healer. Here RSangoma is a short hand notation for a real medical doctor. Many times, especially in Namibia,
Carapace suit for motorcycle riders to minimize damage to their body in case of accident
The number of fatalities involving motorcycle riders is untenable.
The motorcycle helmet provides some protection but is insufficient to reduce the damage to the rest of the body.
The design idea aims to address several problems. Firstly, it tackles the underutilization of agricultural waste, specifically rice husk ash, in developing countries like Nigeria. By using rice husk ash as a filler in composite materials,
Project Proposal: Third Generation Precision Space Flight and Landing Systems
