Problem Statement
Today most of the transportation systems are based on non-renewable energy resources and also calls global warning, air pollution, noise pollution in addition requires a specific path to travel. The most of power wastes into to overcome the frictional force, drag force etc. Till now no vehicle used gravitational force to push it into forward direction,
For a lower limb amputee, the pain caused by an ill-fitting prosthetic socket can easily reach an unbearable level and result in problems in blood circulation, swelling, increased perspiration, rash, breakdown of the skin and problems in blood circulation. To address these problems, we propose the development of a soft robotic,
I have recently been traveling long distances on a fairly regular basis. I have found it to be reassuring to wear a clip-on light while walking in rest areas, and a product design opportunity for a personal security product came to mind.
VARTAKs are a colony of swarm drones capable of working independently to accomplish the tasks. They also are capable of forming fleets whenever there is a possibility during its flight. These are dedicated to serve customers of a distinguished geographical landscape, mainly targeted for all deliveries on a single platform accessible through smart phone and website.
There are major Accidents caused by human error and those are still
not preventable. Solution is the "Smart Car Communication System." It’s a “Computer Unit (CU)” which must be fitted in all vehicles. It mainly control Acceleration, Braking, Steering and Signals system of the car. It does activated on sensing risk factor.

Our team at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center has developed fiber optic sensing system (FOSS) technology that represents a major breakthrough in high-speed operational monitoring and sensing. Driven by ultra-efficient algorithms, FOSS can be used to determine in real time a variety of critical parameters, including strain, shape deformation, temperature, liquid level, and operational loads.
Conventional air conditioning system using mechanical compressor consumes more power. Alternative for this is use of vapor absorption refrigeration system which uses the chemical compression instead of mechanical compression which requires less power .As generator and pump are the only components consuming power in such system, such systems are more efficient.
Chess is an intense battle of intelligence that requires great creativity, problem solving skills, foresight and risk assessment. As such, the game has become an iconic symbol of status and intellect.
Mate is a wall-hanging chessboard that symbolizes the creativity of the game.
NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) has developed a dramatically improved system for aircraft ground collision avoidance, which could prevent ~100 deaths each year in the U.S. alone. This advanced warning system offers critical features that have been packaged into an app for mobile devices to be used by pilots in any general aviation aircraft cockpit.
The management of future health care costs is dependent on the development of new methods of delivering the appropriate level of patient care by the most efficient means possible while ensuring the highest possible quality outcomes.
Rural areas have additional concerns regarding health equity and ensuring every person has equal access to quality health services. Today,
