The increasing demand for electricity and limited supply of fuel calls for the need of alternative sources of energy. Through this project, we display a method to light up the street lights and suburbs close to highways by extracting the impulse energy on the speed bumps by the automobiles.
VTOL Technologies is a high-technology, aerospace business developing lightweight (less than 20kg) Beyond Visual Line Of Sight [BVLOS] low-altitude (below 500’) aerial inspection solutions for all types of network-based industry, using our unique, patented VTOL Flying Wing Remotely Piloted Aircraft System [RPAS] architecture.
We all are afraid what will happen if all the fossil fuels are finished. This engine gives a better solution for this problem. This engine uses compressed air as the working fluid. Air is taken from the atmosphere and is compressed using a compressor. A battery is used as power for working of compressor.
Following independence, India viewed education as an effective tool for bringing social change through community development. The Indian government lays emphasis on primary education up to the age of fourteen years, referred to as elementary education in India.
But still schools in rural India face a major problem of lacking teaching techniques and learning tools.
Though all engines produces power, not all of them are fully utilised for the vehicle's performance. Nearly half of thus produced power is wasted. The torque produced above the mean torque line of the engine is considered to be excess energy which is wasted.
CONCEPT:
The concept of this project is that the whole details of a vehicle can be stored in a chip and this chip can be accessed only by the police to collect the entire details easily and quickly even if the vehicle is moving. This chip contains the details like Vehicle no:, Owners name, model, colour of the vehicle,
Envisioned is a counterintuitive cooling system based on concepts from the pre first century Roman Hypocaust (hypo= under, caust = caustic) heating systems, where coal, wood, straw, etc. was burned with its byproducts of heat, smoke etc. being channeled through a specially prepared floor consisting of a piered layer of marble or other upper layer,
Trend shows that the rate of road accidents increases during monsoon season. This
is because there is very little awareness on vehicle and driving precautions to be
taken before and during the monsoon. INDIA being situated in the tropical region,
receiving rain throughout the year. While riding in the rain,
The accuracy of multi dimensional simulation of vehicle dynamics has been significantly increased for both passive and active vehicles which are equipped with advanced electronic components. Recently, one of the subjects that has been considered is increasing the car safety in design. Therefore, many efforts have been made to increase vehicle stability especially during the turn.
High g accelerations can easily interrupt the functionality of hydraulic devices that are in use in aerospace facilities. These accelerations can be achieved in very severe maneuvers. So testing of these facilities are one of the critical tasks that must be done.
