DARING CROSS – THE NEXT GREATEST WONDER OF THE WORLD
Daring Cross is a groundbreaking invention that is both a functional, over-water transportation bridge as well as a tourist attraction and hub for recreation and commerce. Dating Cross borrows from a basic, elementary engineering concept: the seesaw.
You pay a lot more for a piece of fresh salmon at the supermarket, so that it is, of course, of your interest to know if it is really fresh, i.e., always being kept at low temperature during transportation and storage (so called cold chain).
A small piece of label,
Absences of permanent magnets, high fault tolerant, low cost and competitive weight, are some of the key features of the Linear Switched Reluctance Motor, hereafter LSRM. The aim of this project is to develop an LSRM drive system for mass rapid transit system (MRTS).
Coeliac diseas is a genetically determined disorder in which affected individuals show intolerance to ingested gluten. Gluten is a complex mixture of cereal proteins (prolamins and glutenins) and other constituents. Exposure of coeliacs to the prolamins (wheat, barley and rye) may result in damage to the mucosa of the small intestine, producing a variety of symptoms, typically including malnutrition,
Coral reefs are complex ecosystems and have very high diversity found in shallow marine waters in the tropics. They are composed of biological activity that is deposit CaCO3 which is produced by the Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa, and the Order Scleractinia. The presence of coral reefs affected by environmental stresses such as natural disasters, sedimentation from the watershed,
Based upon university research, the electro-less 3D Micro-liter incubator array can be deployed and distributed to organizations in the developing world to mitigate pandemics and accelerate vaccine development in the developed world.
This device overcomes limitations of current designs by harnessing micro-fluidic phenomena to strictly regulate individual cellular culture conditions, work in parallel,
In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) or to protect Earth against the fatal effects of global warming, several solutions are recommended by researchers and the industrialists all over the world.
So as an engineer, I promote solar electric vehicles for economic and ecological means of transportation.
What is a tablet now? A device for reading the eBooks! A device for internet surfing & checking our emails! A game console!
Wait!? I've had all of these facilities! I need something different! But now I must pay more money for the portable and wireless capabilities!
A practical electric vehicle direct drive traction motor must be capable of accelerating into traffic from rest, be able to run at highway speeds, be capable of regenerative breaking and running in reverse. Such a motor must be brushless since using brush slip rings to feed current to a rotor is inefficient and require high maintenance.
ATOM - The key shaped multitool that puts a tool box in your pocket.
Market Need: Multitools are convenient products that offer a versatile array of hand tools and functions in a single unit. However, traditional multitools are not exactly easy to carry around every day. The products are large, sharp and too heavy to carry in your pocket.
