The Hawk Aerocar
Ever since people have gazed into the sky and wondered as birds soared overhead, mankind has desired to fly – to take off by themselves and fly to any destination they wanted. This is now possible and without congested airport and overbooked planes.
I was a child of the 1950's and hula hoops were used by the young and old. After breaking several, we strung them together to make a huge hula hoop. That was boring, so we tried something new.
Lead-halide perovskites are highly sought-after semiconducting materials that can harvest sunlight and convert it into renewable electricity. Their low cost and high efficiency make them ideal for optoelectronic applications like solar cells and LEDs. They are, however, extremely sensitive to light, heat, air,
New line of washers for Laundromats and On Premises laundry.
I have designed a new line of washers that has more features than any other laundry machines in the market.
This line of washers is raising the standard of washing machines design for sustainability.
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,
Whenever a plane touches the ground, rubber is pulverized from the tires until they adhere to the ground.
Small electric motors may be used to rotate the wheels such that their peripheral speed matches the plane speed at landing to avoid them sliding at initial touch.
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,
Traditional instrument clusters pose problems when used while operating vehicles and industrial equipment. Why? They are difficult to read quickly. That delays operator responses, both to information in the instrument cluster and to the environment around the operator. Delays can lead to accidents causing property damage, personal injuries,
