This project is about utilization of new approach for demolition that does not destroy bricks so that they can be usable without going any process after the demolition process to build new buildings or housings by utilization of water jet cutting machine to separate the cement that connect each
One of the main reasons mechanical failure occurs in any kind of machinery is due to failure of the gear especially when the gear tooth beaks suddenly due to different reasons.
Our proposed small cargo drone delivery system is an innovative and cost-effective solution for short intercity distances. The system consists of two types of drones, Balto and Togo, which work together to optimize the delivery process.

PATAGONIUM: Multi-chamber Blood Pressure Cuff with Selective Connection
Ricardo Rodrigez Aranciva, San Luis, Argentina
To extract professional-quality espresso, it requires 20Bar(290psi) pressure. And, mechanically it requires a water pump to disperse the hot water onto ground coffee.
In a conventional espresso-making apparatus, electric-powered water pumps for indoor use, and hand-pump-powered espresso makers have been widely used. However,
OVERVIEW
This system works by disrupting the surface tension of water that 1, forms a wedge under a tire due to a combination of velocity and water depth on the road/runway surface (Dynamic Hydroplaning) and 2, aerosolizing the thin layer of water on oil film that forms on paved
