Material System
A material system on the basis of a force-fit between pvc (polyvinylchlorid) and carbon fibres has
been intelligently introduced in a geometric development of a shading construction which unfolds an apparent functionality with temperature change.
Based on the principle of a bi-material effect, a closed roof construction opens with temperature change. Deformations of each roof element occur creating openings in the roof structure. The designed size of the elements can vary within the populated structure.
An apparatus and method for capturing 3 dimensional tomographically registered full spectrum computer digitized images of internal structures of specimens is described. Instrument Collected 2D data slices are later processed to create extremely intricate 3D models in full color.
Moving water from an available reservoir source to a distant storage location for irrigation distribution, or other use, without incurring high initial system costs, installation expenses and recurring operational costs is a fundamental problem found throughout the world; in particular Ethiopia, Niger and other drought stricken areas. One method of overcoming these problems is outlined in this technical brief.
Method to reduce gyroscopic drag in automobiles.
Remember the spinning "tops" we played with as children? The type that, if you set it spinning (at perhaps a few hundred rpm)it would stand on it's end as if by magic. We were all amazed at our first demontration of gyroscopic forces.
Today,
