"Real fish follow a robotic one"

My theory on Structural Design and Control System of a Caudal Fin Robotic Fish. For nearly 200 years, engineers have been optimizing  one way of moving through water, essentially using a propeller. "Fish are very efficient," explained Xiaobo Tan, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering. "They can perform very efficient locomotion and maneuvering in the water."  Robotic fish - perhaps schools of them operating autonomously for months - could give researchers far more precise data on aquatic conditions, deepening our knowledge of critical water supplies and habitats. There are two types of crescent-shaped caudal fin propulsion: one is the left-right motion of body and caudal fin, such as tuna swordfish and shark; another is the up and down movement of body and caudal, such as whales and dolphins. Both of them have the same principle.  Swimming models of fish are various depended on the types and species of the fish i.e. Eel s...

"Air Engine – The Future Of Next Generation Cars"

My Theory on Simulation and Construction of Single-Stage Reciprocating Pneumatic Transmission System Engine We power our vehicles today is based on the legacy of energy discoveries of the 1800s. Oil was first taken out of the ground in Pennsylvania in the 1860s.  When the automobile industry came into being, petroleum was the first candidate for the energy source. Even though the Great scientist and inventor of his time 'Thomas Edison' did build an electric car, but electricity was not as wide spread as it is now, so the power of the Rockefeller oil cartel won the day. But today we live in period we science has  penetrated ever smaller particles, but still we  are using the energy source which was discovered 150 years ago.  we should ask our self that do we still use candles to light our homes?  Do still we use tubes to power our radios and TVs?  Do still we cool our houses with blocks of ice?  and if the answer is No, no and no! Then why do w...

Normal Vehicle to Sport Utility Vehicles Made Possible

My Theory on 7 Speed Gear Gear Manual. The earliest form of a manual transmission is thought to have been invented by Louis-René Panhard and Emile Levassor in the late 19th century. This type of transmission offered multiple gear ratios and, in most cases, reverses. Almost all automobiles as of today are driven by internal combustion engines because of the high power to weight ratio, relatively good efûciency and compact energy storage associated with it. The major disadvantage with this engine is it’s incapability of producing torque from the rest, which is the characteristic of ideal traction hyperbola. This difference between characteristics curve of the combustion engine and the ideal traction hyperbola can be approximated by the use of a gear box. In this paper a gear box with 7 forward gears and 2 reverse gears has been described. A normal 7 speed MT requires 8 gear pairs to provide 7 forward and 1 reverse gear but this paper presents a novel 7 speed MT designed with just ...

Forget Solar Power, Human Power is the Future

That may be a little aggressive, but Princeton University engineers have developed a device that may change the way that we power many of our smaller gadgets and devices. By using out natural body movement, they have created a small chip that will actually capture and harness that natural energy to create enough energy to power up things such as a cell phone, pacemaker and many other small devices that are electronic. The chip is actually a combination of rubber and ceramic nanoribbons. When the chip is flexed, it generates electrical energy. How will this be put to use? Think of rubber soled shoes that have this chip embedded into them and every time a step is taken, energy is created and stored. Just the normal walking around inside the office during a normal work day would be enough to keep that cell phone powered every day. An application that has pacemaker users excited is the fact that this chip could be placed in proximity of the lungs and it would create natural power ...

"why the Universe is dominated by matter, not its shadowy counterpart antimatter."

Scientists decode why universe is dominated by matter. They have solved the puzzle of the universe being dominated by matter rather than its close relative anti-matter. Physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison made a precise measurement of elusive, nearly mass-less particles, and obtained a crucial hint as to why the universe is dominated by matter. The particles, called anti-neutrinos, were detected at the underground Daya Bay experiment, located near a nuclear reactor in China. Anti-particles are almost identical twins of sub-atomic particles (electrons, protons and neutrons) that make up our world. When an electron encounters an anti-electron, for example, both are annihilated in a burst of energy. Failure to see these bursts in the universe tells physicists that anti-matter is vanishingly rare, and that matter rules the roost in today's universe.  All the studies that have been done have not found enough difference between particles and anti-particles to expl...
