Introduction
When a vehicle needs to be stopped, a mechanism that converts its kinetic energy into heat energy (generally) is deployed. Various types of brakes are used for this purpose. The heat energy produced by this conversion is not in usable form and is lost to the environment.
We all are aware of the highly decrease levels of our non-renewable resources such as petroleum. If we not optimaly utilise these resources they will be extint, and our coming generations will not be able to use these resources. My design is a step towards saving these resources.
Chronic wounds are estimated to cost the American healthcare system up to $25 billion annually and are responsible for considerable morbidity among patients, especially the nation’s elderly. US clinicians treated an estimated 90.8 million major wounds in 2004 and the total wound care market
A G-G Enabled Audio Navigation Device for Visually Challenged People using Haptic Technology (G-GAN)
For many visually impaired people, a cane or a stick is a close friend helping them to detect and avoid obstacles in the walking path. During walking with the cane going from place to place, they sense and guess directions and locations by hearing sounds surrounding,
Improvement of energy efficiency and ecological cleanliness of internal combustion engines with spark ignition is a task of vital importance and alternative fuels are one of the ways to solve it. Many researches and tests conducted by various institutes all over the world revealed advantages of different alternative fuels,

Spacesuit technology for Earth:
This technology already exists, but separately. I am putting it together in a multi-beneficial package, and the greatest benefit is HYBOT. It does not exist yet &
* Shielded Space Wall Defense System (SSWDS) :
In the huge rush of enemies weapons, suppose that a large numbers of, for example, rockets are launched simultaneously against buildings, establishments and other targets. Simultaneous pointing, tracking and destroying of all rockets are not easily or may not even be possible. But,
WHY DOES VIBETECH EXIST?
VibeTech would like to help those individuals who are living with impaired mobility by giving them a fighting chance at restoring lost strength and function. For too long, it has been generally accepted that age-related decline is an inevitable process that cannot be slowed.
Instead of searching for alternative fuels or alternative sources of energy, this entry discusses how we have optimized the existing technology of engines used in electric/hybrid engines for generation of better torque and thus higher power output.
Magnetic Repulsive Propulsion system and operating method for hybrid vehicle that can travel on land, in space and at sea is theoretically formulated. Basic theory for the propulsion is proposed and model for the proposed vehicle is theoretically constructed with its working.
