Almost everyone has milk as the first drink in their life. In infancy it is the mother's milk. In childhood, youth and adulthood it's a cow's or goat's milk. It is worth noting that the older a person becomes the more the distance increases
Vehicle is mounted/hanging on the elevated pipe or rail track with the help of height adjustment and shock absorber link. The wheel on rail track has the power from internal drive and can rotate freely by actuating the clutch.
This type of transportation system is able to run, hover on the road surface and fly in the air. Vehicle has combined features of car-airplane-train-skater-hovercraft.
To drive the vehicle in forward direction following are options:
1. Four-wheel power drive
2. Height adjustable arm’
Today the world's population continues to grow, so does the amount of garbage that people produce. Today's fast lifestyle requires easily disposable products as soda cans or bottles of water etc. The accumulation of these products has led to increased plastic pollution around the world.
My Idea is about a drone with rifle. Some areas where for surveillance or any place where terrorist are present we can send this drone. Major 2 concepts to consider: recoil of gun and how to recognize face. Recoil surely imbalances the drone.
Tobor Robotics Inc. is building the TIE (Tobor Innovation Experiment) versatile humanoid robot platform. This platform will combine semi-active mechanisms inspired by the human body with AI to bring about the physical skills and autonomy required for functionality. Currently,
Ultrasonic metal welding is widely used in the industry in applications that involve softer and high conductivity alloys or metals like copper or aluminum. In this process the metals are joined by the application of high frequency vibrations, under moderate pressure,
Repair and integration in aerospace composite structure is highly demanding, however many complex processes are required to be performed, maintaining a strict process control and considering the stringent regulatory framework. Several stages are considered in the automated facility designed at Cranfield University with a group of six MSc students,
Currently all commercial continuously variable transmissions (CVT’s) in the automotive industry function on a friction drive principle. This friction drive interface exists between two hardened smooth steel surfaces separated by a traction fluid film. Traction fluid has the unique property in that it solidifies under high pressure,
