Design of Airfoils for Wind Turbine Rotors
(2014-07-22)The turbine is a machine which converts rotational energy into usable work or usable energy. This change is initiated through mechanical gearing or because of electromagnetic induction, which results in electricity. There ... -
Detecting and Fixing Pipeline Faults in a Non-Invasive Manner
(2016-11)Pipes are usually fixed invasively, or even replaced completely which costs a lot of resources. Inspection of the pipelines and their repair can be automated with the help of autonomous robots and other machinery that aids ... -
Developing an Integrated Water Management Infrastructure in Homes
(2016-11)As the world population is predicted to increase (see figure 1), the human consumption to sources of life; such as food and water, will increase. However; the freshwater withdrawals have tripled over the last 50 years and ... -
Does the Answer to Water Security in the UAE Lie in Pakistan?
(2016-11)Is importing water into the UAE a practical solution from technological, political and environmental perspectives? -
Dubai Metro and Green Energy
(2015-02-01)With almost 149,000 daily riders, the Metro is used more frequently and with the proposed expansion, Metro should be modified to run on green energy that will benefit the city in terms of energy consumption and it’s vision ... -
Dynamic Barrier System For Traffic Control
(2015-02-01)The traffic issues of Dubai cost the city and its population millions in wasted time and fuel. Although major projects have been undertaken to ease traffic congestion in Dubai such as the Dubai Metro projected in 2009 and ... -
Earthquake Resistant Building
(2014-01-19)Thousands of innocent lives have been taken away due to seismic crashes and earthquakes. Besides human losses, a lot of money is spent on restructuring what has been collapsed and destroyed. Unfortunately, since most ... -
