Electronic Moving Freight Train Weighing System.
The system consists of a large concrete pit constructed in a railway freight car marshalling yard over which a structural steel bridge is erected.
Smart e-stick is an electronic interface which has been designed for the visually impaired people to make them walk more efficiently by providing the indication and voice message about the presence of any obstacles on their way.
This geothermal water heater design consists of two water tanks connected together with a water-to-water heat pump to extract heat from (or cool) the water in one tank to heat the water in the other.
An alternator is described which has no moving parts and replaces the alternator and belt in current vehicle engines.
The alternator works by using waste heat from the car's internal combustion engine to create electricity, instead of a moving magnetic field.
A Pot or Coffee Pot is used to convert waste heat to electricity for reading light.
Camping, sailing, or developing countries, the problem is that solar generators work during the daytime. Storing generated electricity in batteries adds complexity and cost.
Cooking fires generate heat and some light,
The Chilly personal water cooler is an evaporative cooler for use with personal hydration systems. Originally intended for military use it is also perfect at enhancing the performance of outdoor athletes.
The current internal combustion engine will run on hydrogen with some modifications. One vehicle had a range of 600 miles between the hydrogen tank and 10 gallon regular gas tank.
DESCRIPTION
The Cardio Inflator is a non-surgical emergency room fixture used to re-inflate a collapsed heart or cardiac blood vessel. Here, we concentrate on the cardiac artery.
The Cardio Inflator is akin to an iron lung where negative pressure draws air into the patient's lungs.
This switch (called the EMS) is the heart of a system designed to reduce home residential electrical consumption by at least half, and, with the ability to be tuned for each individual installation, up to 7/8ths of the current electrical usage by playing a trick on electricity.
An electric drive duct fan that can be compacted for storage. This duct fan is designed for a vehicle that can be folded for storage or transportation in the same maner that helicopters are.
