Create a sealable and disposable filter pouch for drip or percolating coffee machines.
Most drip or percolating coffee machines have open filters that users pour coffee grounds into; however, once the coffee is made the used, wet coffee grounds in the used,
Today's satellite propulsion systems cost upwards of $15MM, were designed before the first handheld calculator was invented, and are impossible to miniaturize to accommodate smaller satellites. Over the past five years, these small satellites have become increasingly capable,
Today, solar cells are one of the most important applications of solar energy. But these solar cells face a serious problem because its efficiency cannot exceed 20%. This means solar cells are characterized with high cost or low quality.
The Telescopic Collapsible Shelter is designed keeping in mind the typical Indian conditions. It is a common road side scene in any Indian cities and towns to find small road side temporary shops.
SUPERSONIC LIQUID DROPLET LAUNCHER:
An idea to provide a repetitive stream of liquid drops at supersonic velocity.
BACKGROUND:
A Need Exists To Launch Mach>3 Droplets At Optical Components For Erosion Studies On High Mach Number Vehicles.
The headspace in containers for liquid and viscous products may originally be oxygen-free, but as the content is depleted, air is taken in and the oxygen concentration rises.
Using an advanced multi-stage combustion chamber and customized cartridge and bullet the updated design brings stopping power and light weight 5.56mm ammunition into the operators. The design turns the 5.56 into an effective round for combat at a lower cost.
The most important hope for mankind to escape from the energy problem is Solar Energy. As this source will be with us for a long time. Earth receives 174 petawatts (PW) of incoming solar radiation (insolation) at the upper atmosphere.
There are many serious problems associated with today’s basic automobile structure; to be more precise, with the basic automobile engine structure. In an IC engine fuel is used so the problem related to the amount of fuel remaining in the Earth's crust gets introduced.
This engine basically removes the consumption of fuel and uses magnetic force to rotate the pistons. Basically when two magnets facing the same pole come closer then a torque is produced which tends to rotate the magnet.
