In snowy conditions, Regular tire snow chains were attached to tires to provide maximum traction when driving through snow and ice.
It is suitable only on snow with max speed of 5okm/h(30mile/h), wearable on asphalt, as well as sliding when braking.
Tension adjustment required for chain, if not,
Use of a digital gyroscope ( e.g. Gyrochip II ) placed above the rear axle of the car, driving a brake light system in such a way that the progressive brake lights become in stages:

Satellite imagery has proved invaluable in the defense and intelligence sectors. Furthermore, it has been an equally potent resource in such important commercial areas as land and water asset management, weather prediction, and geological and agricultural prospecting.
This invention consists of machine embedded PMMA optical fibers in a matrix pattern throughout the plush interior of an automotive vehicle that eliminates the need for installing or running any metallic wires or thousands of LEDs which can serve several purposes.
Synopsis:
From the viewpoint of the power to engine weight ratio, 2-stroke engines have at least 40% better performance than 4-stroke engines but they produce undesirable emission levels with poor lubricating management. Therefore, it will be the main challenge in the double acting ICE`s.
The tail rotor takes up 10 to 15% of the power, and complicates the mechanics. Some time ago I checked available designs and was surprised to find test flights in Germany in 1942 and a Dornier design well,
• What problem does your design idea solve?
Future Aircraft Carrier Battle Groups (ACBG) will be facing the very real threat of swarm attacks by dozens or even hundreds of hypersonic missiles. With the ongoing advancement of modern missile technology,
Capitalizing on new items recently patented or submitted: It is now possible to create a Plug-in/Solar Electric vehicle that performs equal with the gasoline sport cars by employing highly efficient individual wheel motors, the brand-new therm-o-electronic battery, a battery that charges up like a water heater,
Idea: Our student team developed a prototype of a vehicle with autonomous operation. The driverless vehicle will transfer passengers or cargo between given points of a route. The car automatically calculates an optimal route considering traffic congestion, road work and other road incidents.
