Utilize RTGs (Radioisotopic Thermal Generators) to generate 35-75 KWe during emergencies, for sustaining our critical infrastructure.
Heat from the RTGs would either generate electricity using thermocouples or using heat exchangers to generate a simple steam cycle turbine generator.
The advantages include: Small relative sizes, ease of mobility, long lasting power source.
Primarily for military and security forces,
E-BRICKS (ELECTRONIC WASTE – BRICKS)
Modern world is witnessing the difficulty of managing the e-waste coming out of many sources, majorly from IT & BT companies, educational institutions in the form of unused PC’s and other things. Attempts are been made to manage e-waste just by digging in a waste land and disposing it,
Description:
High Efficient Magnetic Engine is a device which works on the principle of repulsive force of magnets. The engine can be used to produce Electrical/Mechanical Output efficiently and effectively. This Formula is Pollution Free & Economically best in class.
What is the technology?
This technology is a device. It consists of some electromagnets,
* A small-scale sample analyzer, in a portable package. Can possess much of the functionality of an analytical laboratory – yet requires little-to-no training. Has a simple interface and the portability of a laptop, tablet (e.g. "iPad"), smart phone or other wireless "smart" mobile device.
* In our proof-of-concept,
Powered two wheelers (PTW) include motorcycles, scooters and mopeds. Motorcycles have recently had an increased popularity due to their being relatively inexpensive to purchase and maintain as compared to cars. It is estimated that more than 180000 PTW users die annually as a result of road crash.
The idea of new type of heat engine (called Heat Pipe Engine, HPE, hereafter) is derived from pressure variation inside the heat pipe vessel in its operation.
To have cost effective manufacturing of an automotive heat exchanger and also to reduce the size to a compact one by combining both radiator and charge air cooler, a combination type. It will make the heat exchanger cost effective.
Today’s challenge in robotics is the same that it has always been: to apply original technology to a task. With more than two million of such machines in use worldwide, can a single innovative American design mean that significant expansion will be forthcoming?
The answer to that question is now a resounding YES.
By offering a new approach to part handling,
Who do you know that would like a safer, faster, more fuel efficient airliner that could carry more at lower costs, take off at less than 100 mph yet travel near Mach 1 with minimal drag penalty? This design has already been proven in NASA, hypersonic testing. The time to support this giant leap forward in design is now.
