Patches of approximately 8square inches, with high power, bright. Toggle switch for pattern of blinking. Compact battery, rectifier, antenna coil packed into sealed fabric.
Powered by airwaves, charged by airwaves.
Power via radiowaves will be generated by a portable battery that is carried in backpack or placed in the area of activity,
Not everyone can afford a new car with helpful sensors. Nor does everyone need all the fancy sensors. Utilizing cheap and simple sensors like infrared for proximity sensing. And having simple transmitter in sensors and simple receiver in automobile with LED notifications or sounds. Or a phone application.
The security system will be mobile and dynamic. Stationary cameras are obsolete for advance security. The system will be automated and manual if commanded. Robotic security system will consist of one ground bot(mother bot) and at least four airborne bots(child bot).
Mother bot is main processor, executes complex commands, master, computes data from child bots, and bridge to home networking.
Electrification is the most viable way to achieve clean and efficient transportation. A lot of hybrid vehicles are available in the country but all these technologies have been employed on four wheeled vehicles only. Due to unavailability of trikes and higher price of hybrid vehicles, two wheelers, more prone to accidents are in demand.
The problem with a Savonius Rotor is that it has no torque, as the blades are only powering the shaft for 120 degrees of one turn, while for the remaining 240 degrees the blades are consuming energy. The Savonius Rotor micro mini wind turbine, with the blades being powered for the full 360 degrees,
There is a lot of concern that is being expressed throughout the world with regards to the vehicular emissions, Especially the Heavy Commercial Vehicles. There of course have been lot of actions for the containment of the same. However these either have been costly or complex approaches for the users,
The device consists of a wireless-type battery charger, compatible with the interface of most mobile devices (cell phone, Tablet), with a mechanical platform to control the distance between charger and device to give an optimal electrical current flow. The MWC provides a special device that avoids damaging current values in the charger for continuous use of the system.
Riscram™ Rocked Ignited Supersonic Combustor Ramjet. Propulsion system for hypersonic aircraft with supersonic combustor. Mach 0 to 30 - Earth Sea Level to Space Exosphere.
Problem area
During imprinting of patterns from a stamp onto a substrate surface, conformal contact is necessary to ensure that pattern transfer is successful over the entire stamp. However, such contact is hindered by the initial angular misalignment between the surfaces. In real systems, this misalignment is inevitable and arises due to the two surfaces being non-parallel. Thus,
It is time to innovate and literally bridge the gap between drought zones and flood zones. The technology and necessary resources exist to create a future where droughts and floods do not make the nightly news, but instead remain only as stories in the Bible.
