The present engines are designed to new concepts with changes in fuels like METHANOL AND H2 ICE APPLICATION revolution in AUTOMOTIVE and in MARINE, as the fossil fuels were replaced with the alternative fuel concept designs and with respect to the fuel concepts. Automotive systems are changing rapidly with respect to the hybridization and EVs and with H2 ICE,
LoCKAmp is the first commercially manufactured, miniaturised, printed circuit board (PCB)-based device for loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) genetic detection of pathogens. The need for more accurate monitoring of the spread of infectious diseases in the community was emphasized by the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
Neuromarketing is the key to a deep understanding and insight into the mosaic of the consumer's inner world. It is a study that uses neurobiology, psychology and economics to analyze the cognitive processes and behavior of customers. Neuromarketing helps to understand preferences, predict the results and effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
How does it work?
Horizontal cupped blades that spin in any direction of wind. When you are not using electricity, (sleeping or at work) the power meter runs backwards and the Electric Power Company pays you when you supply electricity to the grid. No need for hydro poles in rural areas.
A furnace with a heat exchanger designed to have a pilot light size torch flame on 24 hours a day. The temperature doesn't fluctuate from hot to cold as a regular furnace. The temperature is virtually the same throughout the entire day. It uses less fuel and electricity,
Extract oil from Corn, Soy Bean, Hemp, or anything that creates oil. The waste from that is poured into an Ethanol+CO2 Generator where it ferments. After the Ethanol+CO2 is extracted, the waste is pumped into a Methane and Fertilizer Generator where it rots. After Methane is extracted,
A Four-Wheel Drive Electric Truck with a "W" Hull, and different implements for work and recreation. A Dump Box, a removable Rack and Solar Panel Canopy, a Shovel, an Electric Out Drive, a Top Soil Spreader, a Liquid Fertilizer Spreader, a Three-Point Hitch, a S.U.V. Body, a Camper Body,
A chopper bicycle with an "I Single" engine. Switch a lever so the gearbox is powered by the engine instead of the pedals. Lock the pedals in the forward position and become footrests.
We propose to use layered CuInP2S6 crystals as an active substance for the transducer of deformation, lighting, and heat into electric current. The use of layered CuInP2S6 crystals provides many advantages. First, it has good photoelectric sensitivity. In addition, there is no need to orient the crystals when applied to the supporting electrode,
An innovative solution is the use of a drive voltage frequency converter (VFC) as a converter for charging EV batteries and integration with the power system of industrial companies, providing wide opportunities for cooperation between various generating units, including renewable energy.
Characteristic features:
Low cost – VFC cost + rectifier cost (10% of VFC cost),
