Low cost quake proof shelter is meant for locations that have a history of earthquakes and also in high quake risk zones. The idea here is for governments and NGOs to build the shelters for poor people who bear the brunt of quakes due to improperly built dwelling units.
Water is the source and basis of all living things. The contamination of water is a major concern in the developing countries. Traditionally copper vessels have been used to treat and preserve the drinking water for household purposes (INDIA).
The Armadillo-T is a four-wheel independent drive, all electric micro vehicle, with a maximum two seats with a four golf-bag of trunk space, specifically designed and optimized for short distance city or closed route travels.
The work involves design and manufacturing of a wheel for an All-Terrain Vehicle using a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) material. The main aim is to replace the conventional Aluminium alloy wheel with that of a lightweight alternative. GFRP is one such lightweight alternative,
Proposed prototype is designed to challenge & train the user in a 360 degree foot workout while using either a speed bag, or a heavy bag, or a double ended martial arts bag. The bottom platform is round &
Proposed prototype utilizes 1. centrifugal compressors/impellers, driven by 2. high speed electric motor, or 3. steam turbine, or 4. exhaust turbine/turbo, to draw high kinetic energy gas through, 5. electrically conductive diffusers, downstream;
Many accidents are generated by drunk people whose drivers licenses were previously suspended. My idea is:
- all drivers licenses have to be in smart-card form
- every car/truck must have a smart-card reader
