All seals have interference in order to function. As seals wear, the interference decreases until at some point the seal fails either by allowing contaminants into the machinery or by allowing lubricating fluid to leak out. Seal wear means regular inspections. The SMART SEAL places a circuit on the seal located at the point of maximum acceptable wear.

Imagine a world where everything is produced near the location its used or consumed, long distance freight is rarely needed, and recycling is close to 100%
In our current model these are not realistic assumptions, but with pervasive computing, cheap sensors, and digital design - it is certainly possible.
The theory of the continuous power stroke rotary engine, CPSRE, is designed to reduce the loss of energy that occurs while transferring the combustion energy to the output shaft. In CPSRE, the energy produced by combustion is transferred to the rotor which is directly keyed to the output shaft.
The CPSRE has a ratchet like rotor with smooth edges,
"MOTORBRID" is a supercar that consists of two motorcycles.
With the traffic problems in many cities, a motorcycle is supposed to be great choice for travelling or moving from place to place in a short time. The advantage of the motorcycle is its size; however, it is poor in safety.
