The world over, electrical power transmission and distribution engineers have been concerned with high sag and large swing in power transmission lines. High sag needs taller transmission towers. High dynamic vehicular load and no swing or sag is permissible.
As we know, the world population is increasing day by day. As the population increases, the increase in requirements results in lack of resources. The leading problem is pollution from which the whole world is suffering. Most of the air pollution is caused by automobiles, trucks, buses, etc.
The direct discharge of sewage from trains on railway tracks and platform lead to many harmful effects which are resulting in unhygienic conditions that may also cause spread of diseases, corrosion of tracks, unclean environment to its surrounding. The technology to dispose the human waste hasn’
Now all over the world, the water crisis is a big problem for us .After treatment, use of waste water is necessary. If we can re-use the waste water of toilet of train, so it will be truly conservation of water.

Overtaking is one of the common actions that the driver performs while travelling on the road. Without enough information about the road, overtaking is dangerous and causes many accidents. Although overtaking is important, little research was done in this area. Especially,
Using the design of the Stirling motor and some adequations we will create the first personal perpetual motion machine as a home energy plant, the first electic plant for the people, and also a power plant for the people who don't want to pay again the electric bill.
An evaporative cooling tower is a heat exchanger where transformation of heat takes place from circulating water to the atmosphere. The warm water from the condenser is taken as an inlet water to the cooling tower and it is allowed to flow through the nozzles.
In the time of digital world, there are many part of the world which still do not know what is a computer and how to operate it? The main reason is many people cannot afford it.
I have developed a computer system which includes:
My prototype was built to balance and distribute weight of an unbalanced vehicle or towing combination. It uses an axle behind the vehicle supported by an air bag or air spring that's capable of supporting thousands of pounds depending on wheel/tire combo and air bag capacity.
