Akecheta: Revolutionizing Aerial Warfare with the World's First Pilotless Bomber, Drone, and Fighter
Introduction:
The Akecheta, an innovative and groundbreaking invention, represents a paradigm shift in aerial warfare. It is the world's first pilotless bomber, drone, and fighter, boasting an array of exceptional features that redefine the possibilities of airborne operations. With its remarkable capabilities,
Motivation
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) afflicts 17,000 Americans and 700,000 people worldwide each year. Prognoses are often tragic, and social costs exceed $2M (US and EU) in the first 5 years of care. For decades, the dream of repairing the spinal cord has been elusive. Recent studies, however,
Currently, air-breathing electric propulsion ramjet configurations are considered worldwide. However, configurations with air scoops suffer from significant momentum losses due to air collimation and drag. One idea that was proposed a few years ago and requires further development is a direct scramjet configuration that can significantly reduce drag.
Motivation:
Need for sustainable development requires use of renewable energy and clean fuel for power generation and thermal application. Various resources and technologies including solar PV system, wind, hydro, biomass, etc. are available for renewable energy production. Biomass is one of the renewable sources of energy,
The innovation introduces a Hybrid Transmission System (the System).
Unlike other mild hybrid configurations, which only enable the administration of TORQUE available from the hybrid set (e.g., internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machine (EM)), this new mechanism allows TORQUE and RPM to be managed,
This innovation relates to the field of opposed piston internal combustion engines (OP-ICE) having two pistons in one cylinder configured to have facing heads. Specifically,
Pet bottle plastic last million years without decay under normal conditions. So that this pet bottles plastics can be used for applications that can last several years. Metallic wires takes rust and expensive and need complex extrusion processes to make.

In our ongoing project, our aim is to assist blind and visually impaired individuals in navigating outdoor environments. We have developed an innovative system that combines digital curbstones, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, and specialized headsets.
The solar system confronts us with countless mysteries that stir the curiosity of humanity’s brightest minds. However, the prohibitive cost of robotic space exploration renders it inaccessible to most scientists. One emergent technology could lower this barrier: the CubeSat.
In laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, surgeons make decisions by solely looking at the live video of their surgical field. This presents a problem with depth perception as surgeons view a 3D field in two dimensions, leading to long training time and increased complications. In fact,
