Residential fires represented approximately 85 percent of all fire deaths and 77 percent of injuries in 2009. Between 2000 and 2009, an average of 2,919 civilians lost their lives annually as the result of residential structure fires, which include one and two-family dwellings, apartments, hotels, motels, dormitories,
In the recent times, the furnace industries are facing a major challenge in continuously reducing environmental emissions while improving the overall performance of the combustion process. A crucible furnace is no longer an exception to this rule.
They are known the generators “Perendev” and "Minato" which develop energy with the force of repulsion of magnets. A problem of these generators is the bulky control system.
Aviation is one of the main fields in transportation. Aside from being faster than piston engines, turbojets have greater reliability with about 99.9%. The manufacture of UAVs is quite multifaceted and is a challenging task.
Metronome Boom
A mechanical boom arm can be articulated 360 degrees from a single actuator which is electrically controlled. The design is scalable and has a wide range of uses.
The design is basic; a central vertical shaft is a helical coil whose proportions,
Earthquakes kill. Existing methods of forecasting or predicting earthquakes are very long-term (years) and very inaccurate or very short term (seconds).
The Energy/Power system is an Axial Flux Generator, which is driven by a DC Brushless Motor, intermittently pulsed and running at high rpm's. The rotors are spun as a flywheel by the motor and are embedded with neodymium magnets that pass over copper windings,
Electro-Chemical Machining is a non-traditional way of machining conductive materials. This way is based on the electrolysis concept, as the current passes from tool to workpiece through the electrolyte, the workpiece is to be ionized,
1. Problem the Design Solves: Extremely dangerous and disruptive tornadoes result in hundreds of deaths and injuries, destruction of homes and businesses, and financial and personal losses in millions in the U.S. alone. There is NO current solution to this severe problem!!!
This solution is novel!
Nanotechnology has been applied to the field of regenerative medicine to yield biocompatible substrates that can be employed to regenerate veins, skin, cartilage and nerves.
Patients subjected to self-transplant currently have difficulty in retrieving healthy and sufficiently abundant tissues for the double surgical procedures: explants and implants.
