I have built and used a totally portable solar heater while camping, household use, emergencies, and businesses.
The idea is quite simple and proven. A dark surface, when exposed to sunlight, quickly heats up, which heats up any surrounding fluid, in this case air.
Supercomputers are linked worldwide, creating ultra-high performance cloud, utility, and grid computers. The Bandwidth-Delay Product (BWDP), where “delay” is the round trip time for data transfer, defines required buffer memory. Grid-X is a SeaFire innovation that addresses BWDP,
All-Seasons Body Cooling/Warming Vest is a special product designed to counter the harmful effects of hot or cold weather stress, lowering or increasing skin temperature, which in turn stabilizes the core body temperature.
Many parts of the world, e.g., Africa, Middle East, Southern Asia and Australia, have severe shortages of fresh water for agriculture, let alone for drinking. Many of these locations are close to large saltwater bodies with plenty of sunlight available year round. Thus,
Imagine a handheld air conditioner, resembling a hair dryer, which one could carry around in a handbag or back pack to outdoor activities such as ball games, picnics or for walking about town. This design would enable the user to blow chilled air at the face,
A primary goal in compressor design for Gas Turbine Engines is the reduction of size and weight. It is also beneficial to reduce the number of parts, especially blades which are expensive to produce and maintain.
The idea is to use as source of electrical energy an amplified force exerted over a small distance at one end of a lever generated by exerting a small force over a greater distance at the other end.
Initially,
The core idea behind this proposal is the scientific expectation that surface functionalized carbonaceous nanoparticle containing pre-heated diesel engine fuel (petrodiesel, biodiesel etc.) would have increased molecular kinetic energy and better reaction characteristics resulting in a more efficient and greener combustion process.
When exposed to certain microwave spectra,
Artificial Brain
1/ A person is watching a video
2/ The skull is covered with electrodes.
3/ The lit up neurons are recorded by the computer. Their voltages, currents, positions & time of lit up are recorded.
4/ If we reverse the process,
World population is estimated at over 7 billion people. Global population is expected to peak at approximately 10 billion people. Many millions of people are currently starving, malnourished and don't have access to safe drinking water.
Water tends to be scarcest where it is needed the most, i.e.
