Saurabh Patwardhan, Pune,   IN Votes: 45 10/17/2008

CUTBACK Transportation in developing countries is of great significance because of its contribution to national, regional, economic, industrial, social, and cultural development. However, most developing countries are facing problems related to traffic and transportation. Inadequate transportation facilities retard the process of socio-economic development in a country. Especially in a heavily populated country such as India, managing different aspects of transportation is a difficult task. Roads are getting congested because more vehicles travel on them which give

TELESCOPIC TYPE MAGNETIC SUSPENSION Insted of Coil Spring Page Views: 17,268 Transportation
ROHIT AHUJA, GURGAON, NA IN Votes: 4 08/19/2008

Suspension is the important Part in an Automobile. This restricts the impacts and vibrations from the road which are transmitted to the passengers. Till now we are using Mechanical Suspension systems e.g. coil springs or Hydraulic Suspensions. Which on compressing absorbs the energy from the vibrating source but vibrations cannot be completely eliminated as there is a mechanical contact between Car Body and the vibrating source (i.e. Road).This idea describes an all new concept of

Miniaturised Multi-frequency Printed Circuit Antenna for Wireless Applications Page Views: 12,762 Consumer
Shaileshachandra Pandey, Ahmedabad, NA IN Votes: 45 08/13/2008

A miniaturized printed circuit antenna Wireless-communication. Thus, reduction of antenna size is required for practical use. Several methods for size reduction have already been examined. But all these techniques are able to reduce the antenna size more or less by 50%. Since the resonant frequency of a patch antenna is inversely proportional to ??r, it is possible to reduce the resonant frequency by using a substrate with high dielectric constant. However, high-permittivity material entraps the

a new hybrid two-wheel vehicle Page Views: 10,494 Transportation
Bilgin Öke, Nicosia,   CY Votes: 33 09/25/2008

My idea is about marrying in a meaningful way a bicycle/exercise-bicycle with a modern CVT scooter having an electronic accelerator. The modern CVT scooter sets free both legs of the rider and there is enough space in the feet area to incorporate the flywheel/pedals of a modern bicycle/exercise bicycle. The right-hand-controlled accelerator (electronic) of a modern CVT scooter can also be modified and incorporated between the flywheel and the pedals together with a freewheel mechanism,

Saurabh Singh, Pilani, NA IN Votes: 8 08/21/2008

In the present scenario car thefts are increasing at exponential rates. The present market contains gadgets which only provide security to a stationary car and once broken into ,the car can be easily stolen. So we have developed a kit using a second hand mobile phone which not just stops a moving car but also traces the location of the car and sends it back to the user via SMS. The whole concept is based

An advanced concept for engines and drives Page Views: 6,306 Transportation
Ralf Kaufmann, Stuttgart, NA DE Votes: 10 07/31/2008

The motivation for the new concept of “Twin-Planetary-Eccentric-Drive” depends on the basic idea of machines and engines: Conversion of rotary motion into linear motion. Rotation is the appropriated option for mechanical power transmission. Linear guidance enables compact combustion chambers with a good sealability and a high thermodynamic energy conversion. The reciprocating engine with crankgear is the typical example of efficient working chamber, whereas the focal point for example of the Wankel engine is the rotary
