Summary
Generating additional force by morphing of rigid sails will provide a significant advantage in reducing fuel consumption and reducing emissions. Shipping is a major contributor of emissions (pollutants) such as greenhouse gases and VForce® technology reduces this and helps save the earth’s finite resources. The morphed sails take advantage of lower winds and provide other benefits as listed below.
1) Figure shows rotary motion of a special merry-go-round with propeller on frame F1 where the centrifugal force due to machine motion tends to be balanced by active centripetal force depending on length of horizontal part of the mounting frame and plurarity of double cone wheels on inclined v shaped tracts where F1 tends to slide downwards
The Problem: Under-Inflated Tires
Tire failure
The International Tire and Rubber Association reported to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) that under-inflation was the “single most common” factor in tire failure.
This is a novel internal combustion engine utilizing a unique multi-link configuration. This solves problems achieving variable compression and extremely long stroke, when combined yields high volumetric efficiency, significantly reduced engine size, higher torque, and fuel efficiency. Benefits include use of lower cost fuels,
This is an unmanned aerial vehicle (AUV) that was inspired by the drone Alta 8. There are two cameras, one for an aerial view and another for ground.
Cargo Containers are lashed together to form 600ft x 320ft flight deck (192,000 sq ft), 2-hanger decks (180,000 sq ft/deck) & (9,000,000 cuft volume), 2-pontoons Catamaran hulls (600 ft x120 ft x 50ft), 10,000 tons cargo capacity, 10,000 tons Control Ship (Fletcher Class DD, or Arleigh Burke Class DDG, etc), 5,000 tons fuel,
Hypersonic flight is closer than you think!
Space Engine Systems' mission is to push the boundaries of sustainable hypersonic flight and space accessibility at the lowest cost. To achieve this goal, a reusable demonstration piloted aircraft, optional unmanned, is being designed and built that can take-off as a conventional aircraft,
Unnecessary waiting at traffic signals wastes time and fuel, and pollutes the air. A responsive traffic signal mitigates these problems by passing the maximum number of vehicles through an intersection in the least amount of time. Cameras pointed down each road are used to count the approaching vehicles, and measure their speeds and distances.
This product, EnSafe Cup, is based on the simple concept that since women have menstruation for approximately 65 days in a year and during those days women have to use some product to catch and collect the period fluid.
