Time travel, a concept often explored in science fiction, remains a dream for now due to its conflict with the laws of physics. When moving in space, we do not carry the entire external environment around us - buildings, trees, people... .
Brake Horse Power (BHP) and Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) are few parameters which are taken into account while designing an engine. Power to be produced in the engine needs specific fuel consumption, basis the calorific value of the fuel. For extracting maximum power from the combustion process,
Hydrofirebreak is an innovative fire barrier system designed to protect vulnerable areas against forest and urban fires. This solution uses advanced technology that combines water elements and fire retardant materials to create an effective barrier that can prevent the spread of fire. The barrier is easy to install,
Cylinder Deactivation is a well-known automotive and diesel concept employed for decades to improve cylinder pumping losses and improve fuel economy. It does so by shutting off both fuel injection and valve motion to specified cylinders during light load conditions.
This concept was developed by an 11 year old boy who is diagnosed as Level 2 Asperger. I was partly homeschooling my son when we came across the 'Origin - Big Little Ideas' competition.
The Defense System is a comprehensive solution designed to address the challenge of mosquito control in outdoor environments. Through its innovative approach and advanced technology, Defense System offers an effective and sustainable response to this common problem.
Functionality:
The system relies on a network of strategically placed repellent towers,
Fresh water is very scarce in some regions of the World, especially in some desert areas like Africa and the Middle East, Developed Countries rely mostly on Water Desalination for human consumption.
This Project explains how to tow an Iceberg from Antarctica to the Middle East,
