Currently much motivation exists for development of wind turbines in the lower wind speed regimes.
Many wind turbines face difficulties during high wind speed (e.g., during a storm) and must either apply overspeed protection, in the form of a reverse torque,
Most people who have ridden bicycles can attest that air resistance is the main barrier to achieving a desirable average speed.
Alternatively,
Imagine getting into your two-wheel car, backing out of the driveway with taxi gear that steers with the front wheel, extended. Once you’re moving down the street, the taxi gear retracts smoothly into the lower chassis, which is similar to a motorcycle.
The upper chassis like an airplane,
As the auto industry surges forward with technological advancements, the general aviation industry continues to lag. Reliable means of transportation driven by renewable resources, such as solar powered blended wing body (BWB) aircraft, are viable and logical solutions in taking the industry forward.
Variable ice dam to stop the flooding destruction in the spring(Mississippi River). The ice dam would be upstream where it's safe to backup the river. Hydropowered freezing units. The water only needs to be cooled a few degrees and slowed down to freeze.
Tables most often have more than three legs and as a result, they sooner or later will rock because the legs do not come into contact with the floor uniformly. Furthermore, the problem may not be the table but the floor being undeven and irregular.
Extracellular microelectrode array (MEA) electrophysiology has become a widespread technique for the recording and stimulation of bioelectrical signals. It finds application in medical diagnostics and treatments such as epicortical origin localization of epileptic seizures,
In the beginning, there was the power of the sun. It took millions of years to store the sun’s energy in the form of fossils that we are utilizing now. As we continue to deplete our fossils,
LEDs are about 8 times as efficient as incandescent lights. With cost coming down what holds back this highly efficient light source from becoming the main lighting in the world? The answer is heat.
In a Loss of Coolant Accident, such as those which occurred in TMI and at Fukushima, without effective cooling, the reactor core quickly overheats and begins to melt. This releases volatile radioactive elements into the pressure vessel atmosphere.
