Electrosurgery uses Radio Frequency (RF) energy to cut and cauterize tissue in over 80% of all surgical procedures (41/51.4 million total US surgeries (2014)(1*) and 187/234.2 million worldwide (2008)(2*)). Electrosurgery generates smoke and aerosols that billow from the surgical wound,
My suggestion is based on my universal AC-DC electric motor. Using this engine on the electric vehicles, we can reduce weight and improve car aerodynamics. Connecting the engine to the wheels-you can get two traction (wheel and aero).
The overall goal of this design project is to develop a system that will decrease tyre-wear while improving fuel economy, performance and safety of a passenger vehicle through dynamically adjustable tyre pressures. The system serves to solve a fairly common problem of improperly inflated tyres,
