Description
Puri pods basically stands for purification pods as these machines purify water and also are capsule or pod like shaped. These machines float on the surface of water due to the air filled cavities present in them and suck water in using a vacuum pump powered by the solar panel.
Synopsis
Efficient airplanes is a project about implementation of the technology of hybrid cars used for the Li+ ion battery recharge,
My innovation is MACJAMES® MULTISURFACE DEGREASER/CLEANER. It is an economical multi-surface/multipurpose Household-Industrial-and-Institutional (HI&I) degreaser/cleaner that emulsifies and cleanses organic and inorganic dirt from various washable surfaces/substrates (metal, plastic, wood, concrete, rubber, PVC, ceramic, leather, rugs, fabric, etc) without harming them or health of users, unlike the popular ones in use today.
The invention of the Smart, Servo Driven, Talking, "Lead Me Where I Want to Go," GPS Controlled GUIDED WALKER, (whose controller is transferable to a“Take Me Where I Want to Go,” GPS Controlled Guided Wheelchair, or cart), is similar to Stanford University's autonomous vehicle, Stanley, Google's driverless car, and Tesla's self driving car.
FirstWearable – Thermoband-Easy to use device to monitor fever
The unique fever monitoring device that relieves parents' stress. An easy to use device with no complicated settings or battery charging - Lets you sleep well and take actions when your child has a fever.
Aim of the project:
The modern age of industrialization and modernization demands a growing need of clean water in all spheres of the society. If the amount of water used up in flushing is reduced significantly, it will lead to an overall saving in the cost of water extraction and processing as well as cost of waste water management.
OrchidEarth is the name of this speaker system
Instead of using traditional cross overs that split by frequency ie tweeter gets the top range, solid state transducer gets middle and bass driver gets lower frequencies. This design requires a digital cross over that provides each individual speaker its own analogue signal because the frequency is instead split by amplitude.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has long recognized the public health hazards of NO2 and SO2. Current scientific evidence links short-term exposures to these toxics with an array of adverse respiratory effects including airway inflammation in healthy people, increased symptoms and more difficulty controlling asthma for asthmatics, and an increase in respiratory illnesses for young and elderly.
