The disease of modern civilization is the loss of visual acuity already in childhood and adolescence. What is the reason for this? Often such violations occur due to the fact that modern man has stopped looking into the distance and relaxing. Throughout the day,
Usually they try to increase the efficiency of wind turbines by improving the air flow around the blades, finding the most profitable modes of operation of the wind turbine, finding the best blade profiles, etc. In the proposed project, we are following an unusual path.
NFTG is developing a simple, ultra-quiet, personal air vehicle and drone, capable of rapid door-to-door mobility without requiring any operator license.
It will be powered by one of our patented rotary engines or ultra-efficient and ultra-power-dense turbo-engines of my design.
With an Isp of 175 sec with a density Isp of 1.5, it creates a rocket motor 1/2 the size of a normal solid propellant motor. Although low in Isp,
In a sustainable energy-focused world, the automotive industry is working to reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel reliance. The Dynamic Solar Panel Integrated Vehicle (DSPIV) concept integrates advanced solar panel technology into the vehicle's exterior to enhance sustainability. This includes photovoltaic (PV) modules that propel the vehicle,
Abstract
