Today the world is facing threat from global warming due to the harmful gases that are coming from the combustion of fossil fuels.The alternate or renewable resources are costly as there is need in the improvement of the technology.So my idea is to prevent the harmful gases from the engines entering the atmosphere.
The following work is an attempt to overcome the problems associated with an electric two wheeler. The setup consists of a 4 stroke gasoline powered 35cc single cylinder engine mechanically coupled with a brush less PMDC generator capable of producing 1KW at 3000 RPM, a motor controller and a 48V 250W motorized wheel commonly found in electric two wheelers.
The project is about increasing the efficiency of an automobile engine by using small and efficient techniques.
The project may not be any high profile technology, a new engine or something like that, but this small project can change human life to a large extent.
I have designed a space settlement entitled "Eros Outer Atmosphere Settlement." It consists of temporary and permanent residential bases built on the Near Earth Asteroid 433 Eros. The design also includes factories, storage areas, hospitals etc on the asteroid. The purpose for the space settlement is because of the changing climatic conditions on Earth, which are causing natural calamities.
Incandescent light bulbs are facing bans because they are a waste of energy and material due to extremely inferior efficiency and longevity.
The idea developed focuses on power production to help produce an efficient system that helps reduce operation costs and also is green at the same time. The ideas employs modules that follow a certain principle to help produce electricity from heat. The heat used is that produced at the exhaust of the jet-engine.
This system is designed to solve the very problem of the still missing Malaysian Airline Flight MH-370, and few more recent incidents such as Air Asia lost its contacts a few days ago but fortunately its traces were found.
This system has a built-in satellite telephone system, from very reliable satellite system provider, Inmarsat,
Basic limitation of Traditional (Open) Differentials is accompanied with their large masses and costs. This limits use of differentials to the places, only where either requirement is must or economy is not a problem. However use of differential is to fulfill the need of relative angular speed between wheels on same axle.

The advantages of this engine are that it is simple in design, easy and economical to manufacture, and has a lower parts count. In addition, it has low weight per horsepower output, it is compact, indifferent to overload and stall, and can be adapted to diesel, gasoline, natural gas, air or steam configurations.
