Although counter-intuitive, evolutionary internal combustion engine concepts are often times preferred over revolutionary ones. Although intriguing theoretical engine designs abound, a truly revolutionary engine concept’s value is questionable if it can’t be produced in quantity, inexpensively, and also provide reliable service. On the other hand,
Perpetual Mobility and Sustainment on Water –
This entry is for the Mass Ignition Internal Combustion Engine (MIICE). Most similar in operation to the spark ignition, Otto Cycle engine, the MIICE concept is uniquely characterized by a fuel / air ratio sub-LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) at all times and by ignition throughout a volume.
Did you experience feet pain after walking for a period? And you just simply accept as you think that is normal?
Here to share you instrumented footwear that enables real-time monitoring and addressing unhealthy walking pattern (abnormal gait) by giving tactile feedback to the user.
Overloading on vehicles is one of the major problem in the entire world and its hard to stop it by applying strong laws but what if we disable the vehicle to run if its overloaded.
Traditional methods of cleaning requires stiff brushing with soap and water.
Often persons scrape underneath the nail with a sharp instrument which may improve appearance but does not have a sanitizing effect.
Motor mechanics and landscapers are exposed to very course soils and greases which are strongly impacted.
Urban space were divided by several main streets. When the city grows, locations around the main streets would be preferred, and the rest "back streets" became deserted. Because nobody wants to lose the direct access to the commute route, not for the residency or commercial. Or,
Heretofore watercraft designs and construction methods confronted the following five problems:
1. Hull and Deck Cost - Watercraft small enough to be moved intact on normal roadways without special permits are usually manufactured inland at one or more centralized manufacturing facilities. They are limited in living space,

The hydraulic power system is designed as a combined ‘controls’ and ‘utility’ system for efficient management .
The ‘utility’
For harvesting the nuts, and for spraying and applying insecticides on the crown, skilled labourers have to climb the tree manually. Such a process looks easy, in reality it is a laborious and dangerous task. It requires skill to climb arecanut tree.
