The Problem:
A power adaptor plug allows electrically operated devices to be connected to the primary AC power supply in our home and any other buildings. It may be discomfort for us, when we go for each time to switch on/off each switch in the adaptor plug.
HARBO Technologies
Preventing the Disastrous Consequences of Oil Spills. Instantly.
HARBO Technologies revolutionizes containment and treatment of marine oil-spills, minimizing their damages. Traditional booms (floating barriers) are bulky and heavy, and require large trained crews to deploy. They cannot be stored at the point of failure.
The engine design basically aims at extracting energy out of heat which otherwise would be lost to coolant and exhaust pipe. Basically in this design, we have clubbed a two stroke and a four stroke from two different axes.
Abundant agricultural waste is produced in millions of tonnes from vast agricultural areas but they are disposed inefficiently causing extensive pollution to the environment. Apart from the problems of transportation, storage, and handling,
TACTICALIVE PW-14:
The World's First Type 1 Auto-Protocol Switching Redundant Telephone
With the intent to save lives through redundancy, The Poitier Wright Model 14, or PW-14® allows multiple monitoring real-time capability over Data-Link tracks of concern, providing the capability to “lock-on” tracks,
All the moving vehicles under motion generate wind quite sufficient to generate small electricity through wind turbines. Placing a wind turbine on the top of the locomotives is another challenge.
This type of hill start assist has been developed for a manually driven car and assists the driver to negotiate an inclined terrain by retaining the brakes even after the driver removes his foot from the brake pedal.
There has been much research carried out in both academia and industry about pedestrian detection based on visual processing. The pedestrian or cyclist is exposed to a lot of danger on the street as reflected by statistics collected all over the world.
Warpo is basically a multi-utility gadget holder. Its basic shape is that of an eye. Retractable spring holders emerge from the base in an outward stretching pattern.
