This device is a solar water distiller for producing ultra-pure drinking and cooking water using a new operating principle involving a spray water feed which flash-evaporates, yielding high efficiency and the ability to tilt the unit toward the sun throughout the year.
The main problems with electric cars are the autonomy and the recharge time, which makes recharge stations difficult to deploy. My entry is a station that removes the battery and replaces it with another that was previously charged on site.
About one-third of the fuel used in the world is for internal combustion engines in cars and trucks. Given the combustion temperatures in these engines, the theoretical efficiency is over 70%, but the efficiency of present-day car engines is about 25%.
In most gear drives, due to inertial motion the driven output shaft becomes the driving one and the driving input shaft becomes the driven one. This condition is known as back-driving. In order to prevent this condition, different types of brake or clutch devices are used. However,
In summary, this invention can greatly reduce PV system cost. A low cost PV system is self sustainable and makes the cost of renewable PV energy comparable or lower than conventional sources. The market potential is enormous.
Many brain development disorders like Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases are characterized by a deficiency in the interconnectivity between the brain and the sensory and motor organs.
My idea is on the integration of energy which is being wasted in day-to-day activity. A small power which is enough to power an LED is more than enough for Energy Integration.
To produce bio-fertilizer from microbiological organisma involving bio-process equipment called Bio-reactors. The objective of this product is to produce a low cost bio-reactor.
Bio-reactor processes are described in the following sequences:
1. Cleaning Culture Tank with Disinfectant/Alcohol.
2. Filling Culture Tank with Culture Media.
This Energy Harvester is unique by exploiting the energy of angular momentum and gravity through the vortex created by water draining in a vessel and capturing this energy with peizo-electric materials, either in cantilever or radial form.
A colostomy is a surgical procedure in which a stoma is formed by drawing the healthy end of the large intestine or colon through an incision in the anterior abdominal wall and suturing it into place. This opening, in conjunction with the attached stoma appliance,
