Losing a removable lid to a container can be frustrating. Using a garbage can as an example, the lid can be thrown away with the garbage, blown away by the wind, carried away by a dog, and lost by countless other ways.
The Problem
There is a large unmet need to displace diesel power as a solution for remote communities and industries. Diesel fuel is expensive to deliver to these locations, and diesel generators, though inexpensive to install, are expensive to operate and maintain. As a result,
A LiveSync pointer is a pointer which has an extra function: the laser point appears live in a presentation casted online exactly where the presenter points in the room.
Nano/ microfilaments of Copper can conduct electricity 9 to 30% more efficiently. This is my Open Source Science contribution.
Electricity conductors, nowadays, are still constrained to physical approaches. Chemistry has been for decades put apart.In some free lance research for the last 20 years,
The Inverted Gas Turbine
Background
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal.” [1] Fossil fuels have afforded humanity an unprecedented high standard of living at an equally high cost to the environment.
The basis idea would be to establish a network of entities and organizations interested in seeing the USA lead the effort towards producing Electric Flight Propulsion systems.
This can only be accomplished by the collaborative efforts of universities, private companies, airports and research institutions.
Abstract-
A solar-thermal power plant as proposed in the project comprises open air cycle combined generator and conventional steam power generation unit in modified central boiler and super heater configuration.
I have conducted experiments which have shown that a Low Weight Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Ablative Composite Thermal Protection System composed of mainly a ligno-cellulosic matrix can be used as a in high temperature applications such as atmospheric re-entry.
An effort has been made via Oxygenated Fuel Assisted System for IC engines to reduce emissions of harmful pollutants like NOx and CO to save the Earth from increasing global warming and airborne diseases.
