Deep Ocean Benthic Sampler (DOBS) possesses a unique capability to the fields of deep sea microbial ecology and natural products biotechnology: the ability to obtain a contamination-free benthic boundary layer sediment core samples and preserve in situ conditions of pressure and temperature upon retrieval to the ship.
This system would comprise of several diversion facilities to store the flood waters. Each facility would include an open pit (4 to 5 miles square and 100 feet deep), an electrical generator (driven by the entering flood waters) and a system for emptying the pit.
Hydrogen plays a major role in future fuel needs. There is not much difference between an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) that runs on hydrogen, compared to an ICE that runs on petrol/gasoline in terms of functioning. The main advantages would be better efficiency and low emission levels, provided,
The HVAC of a vehicle today plays a major role in energy consumption, being the second highest aggregate to consume the battery and power, thereby reducing the fuel efficiency and charge, in either petrol/ diesel or hybrid EV's.
Also it is a heavy unit,
Problem:
Noise is sound that is loud, unpleasant, or undesired. It exists everywhere either at your home, or on a street. Imagine if noise could be transferred into useful energy such as electricity… What if energy created by noise could be stored for future use?
Surprisingly, if you bring a pendulum to the side, it will start to oscillate in a plan that remains unchanged even though you rotate its base. This is how Foucault demonstrated the rotation of the Earth.
This counterintuitive behavior could be used as a free source of energy.
The baby-car, which based on an obstacle crossing chassis, is designed for babies and their parents.
It can be easily and smoothly pushed cross the curb onto pavement from asphalt and vice versa.
