Library plays a vital role in the development of any country. In most of the Libraries, the stock verification is done manually and it is very difficult too; of course, it consumes more time and human resources. Even though, with the help of barcode scanner,
Modern race bikes use four stroke engines for racing. Two stroke engines are not used because they cause large amount of pollution due to incomplete combustion & incomplete exhaust. If these two problems are overcome then two stroke engine will be a better option for race bikes.
The idea is to provide an appropriate design that can be built with materials available in hardware stores anywhere in the world, using relatively simple tools, in rural environments and therefore can easily be copied by people in the developing world.
Use fibers to "suck or transport" water from one container to another, to clean water from solids and some other substances faster and cheaper everywhere.
Thanks to the unique property of the water, the process will become in a obligatory technology to be adopted as logical and necessary.
The security device for crane trucks is an idea that comes from the large number of accidents that occur by lifting loads exes in which crane trucks lost stability and roll over. These accidents often leave significant injury or death of workers,
A Galactic Gravitomagnetic Lumina Scope is a Scope that utilizes special relativity and pico-lasers with rotating superconductors. It can also be on the sub atomic scale as well. The design image is enclosed it would be powered by fusion or anti-matter batteries to rotate the super conductor.
The self cleaning drain system provides the features of conventional P-traps used with sinks and lavatories, but creates flow turbulence to break down and propel debris away. The system provides a permanent way to eliminate drain clogs, eliminating the need for chemical drain cleaners, plungers,
Harvesting solar energy using optical frequency rectennas is a potential low-cost solution for high efficiency photovoltaics. Unlike conventional semiconductor solar cells, in which the solar energy efficiency is fundamentally limited to approximately 30%, an optical rectenna is not constrained by that limitation;
If power must come before work, water is requisite for human survival. Water covers 70% of the earth, but only 1 percent of water is drinkable. In fact,
Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD) are a major cause of heart attack events which may lead to disabilities and death. Recent advances in CAD diagnosis include computed aided and physical 3D printed models. Both methods are computer coronary reconstruction dependent.
