    Can Draining Standing Water Effectively Contain Dengue and Malaria?

    A bowl of water is kept in the open for 24 hours then drained into a sand bucket.If this is done repeatedly, in as many localities as possible & overseen by the health department of local municipal bodies, can the procedure not contain dengue? Breeding will not progress beyond the egg/larva stage.

    Guidance needed in prototype development

    If this gear assembly is coupled to the output shaft of a single cylinder IC engine, would it influence the output characteristics of the engine?

    Guidance needed in prototype development

    Both gears are identical, with an off centered axis of rotation.At the max. torque position, the smallest radius of the input driver meets the largest radius of the output driven gear.When the diameters are rotated 180 degrees, the largest radius of the input gear engages the smallest radius of...

    Guidance needed in prototype development

    The attached assembly drawing indicates a cyclic,continuously variable input/output speed/torque for every 180 degrees of rotation.

    Guidance needed in prototype development

    A pair of spur gears, axis of rotation offset (offcenter) equally in both cases,pcd engagement adjusted automatically by a cam & finger arrangement will allow for a high starting torque changing to a high rpm after 180 degrees of rotation.This, hopefully, may act as a stop & go system. I can try...

    What is the best way to use solar heating to cool a living space?

    Air heaters The tank could be fitted internally with finned air heaters powered by photovoltaic cells.This will increase tank pressure substantially.Small dia orfices at the outlet end will reduce the temperature.

    Calculating CFM due to pressure difference

    I would like to power a cycle rickshaw with a pneumatic engine.A large diameter cylinder could be fitted with electric air heaters inside the cylinder, on either side of the piston.The heaters will increase pressure during each stroke of the piston.This will reduce pressure requirements.Speeds...

    Pressure Coating Issues: Even Layer Not Achieved

    Perhaps my thinking has been very wrong on this & a pressure differential is required for the grease to change shape.Thanks for making me think.
