Avatar Sustainable Technologies' mission is to convert waste from recycled paper mills into high value biomaterials. The recycled paper industry has seen rapid explosive growth in the last decade, driven by the shift in consumer shopping from store-centric to online and thus an increased demand for shipping of products. Most recycled paper facilities in the USA are outdated,
t is an alteration work in two wheeler to get reverse. In this system we are using an Epicyclic gear train to reverse the two wheeler.There are three types of gears: namely ring gear, planet gear and sun gear in the Epicyclic gear train.
The system initiates as a balanced system, if the command to open the power level determined is controlled by the second input. The working-fluid is heated according to the set profile. The working-fluid vapor fills and expands the inner container. The power-fluid is forced from the container into the external expanding container by this action.
Off-grid lighting is badly needed in developing countries and rural areas as the infrastructure and resources are not there to support the lighting needs after sunset.
Outdoor LED lighting permits students light to study by and reduces crime and prevents travel accidents. Since the light is fully contained, no wiring is required,
Make the auto-pilot on cars that will stay in a highway lane, maintain the speed limit, slow down to not hit the car in front. The car would have a bar code scanner that would read the signs and notify the driver of such things as upcoming exits or speed changes.
All this technology is currently available.
The Idea we intervened from the need of Farmers and Agricultural Growth of our country. The idea is to provide small scale farmers a modern age cost-effective, better & safer "QUAD BIKE" (Mini Tractor) which will fulfill their daily agricultural & transportation requirements.
Presently small scale farmers are using bullock carts for farming their fields and other agricultural needs.
In today's world safety and precautions are a must while riding a two wheeler vehicle. The intelligent helmet has various innovations embedded in it to provide the user an effecient way of living. It has the following benefits:
1. It detects the speed of the other vehicles travelling on the road.
Abstract— the current world has an acute shortage of power & fuel. If the price of power & fuel fluctuates the entire human community is upset and the entire system confused. Since most of the fuel energy is consumed by automobiles we focus on the need to find
Department of Automation and Robotics in Mechanical Engineering of Tomsk Polytechnic University had completed design Assembly Immersion Control for I-DEAL TECHNOLOGIES GmbH.
Assembly Immersion Control use for nondestructive inspection mechanical engineering products.
Assembly is a welded modular construction from three parts.
1 part is a model with water container and mobile desk.
Background :
When an emergency braking situation occurs, people panic to control the vehicle to avoid the accident. But unlikely we should not be able to control the vehicle (refer Fig 1 to 5 without wind catcher). Why? Because all our primary, secondary, parking brake system depends upon surface contact between tyer and road. Even ABS/ESP can’t prevent the above situation.
