The presented concept of an inertial drive, a spaceship-robot, enables the development of backlight speeds and very high accelerations and, which is very important, also delays, i.e. the practical braking of the ship when approaching the planet. Currently, the recoil force is used to propel spacecraft,
Flight delays and cancellations due to weather, cost commercial aviation dearly. Landing is the most safety critical part of flight. Landing in low visibility conditions, characterized as Cat II & III in aviation terminology, requires a very elaborate set of facilities and lots of real estate.
The reactionless drive is supposed to be impossible. Until now it has been science fiction. While NASA has tried to measure thrust using their version of an electromagnetic engine even their device requires intricate measuring devices to reach conclusions as to whether it functions. Our reactionless drive is different.
The prime deficiency of a pneumatic tire is its dependence on air. A tire that has lost enough pressure to become distorted affects fuel efficiency and the stability of the vehicle. A flat tire can damage the wheel and possibly the vehicle,
We propose to create a smart sensor hub for controlling a living room, equipped with a set of various sensors: lighting (all wavelengths in the form of a mini spectrometer), temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, dust microparticles level, carbon dioxide level, radiation level, infrared receiver and transmitter, digital microphone,
I am a member of the creative team of the Danube Institute which has developed and patented a ship installation for disinfection and purification of ballast water in accordance with modern International requirements - D-2. Ballast water treatment on ships entered a new phase of control from 2020,
PTSD in veterans is sometimes triggered by an event that brings back an embedded memory caused by fear from explosions and stress in combat.
The malady is worldwide and relief from the terror often involves costly psychiatry sessions and medications funded by government programs for thousands of individuals.
This new inventive concept is to improve shock absorption, cushioning, spring and comfort for shoes. In particular athletic shoes are subjected to forces from running, jumping and walking. The traditional approach has been cushioning with foams or air bladders. While these are reasonably effective,
According to quantum theory, the vacuum is filled with quantum fluctuations. The use of a microwave cavity with an externally applied magnetic field allows the interior of the device to be insulated against quantum fluctuations. Due to the cavity geometry,
