INTRODUCTION.
Tarzan amazed the world performing incredible feats.
One of them was his unique way to travel long distances in the jungle, fast and spending no energy. He developed an almost perfect conservative system. First Tarzan energized that system by climbing a tall tree. Then that potential energy was converted into kinetic energy by swinging in a liana.
You have a basic supersonic jet, the fuselage will have a rear semi-wing modification that will form a secondary shock wave. Attached on the underside of the fuselage with a horizontal surface that will not have a total length larger than the width of the fuselage, this surface will not be adjustable,
Future engines must meet tough fuel economy and emissions standards without sacrificing power. Variable valve actuation (VVA) can help, but current engines with VVA all have camshafts, so they are not fully variable. LIM Technology has invented a pneumatically actuated, digitally managed valve which is fully variable and requires no camshaft.
Magnesium is one of the most abundant elements on the Earth. Once made into an alloy, its applications can be just as numerous. From automobile parts to handheld device enclosures, magnesium can be an essential component to many of the products we use on a daily basis. Compared to aluminum and steel,
Energy From Space Systems aka, Space Solar Power refers to the concept of a space system that collects solar power via photovoltaic & mirrors then transmits it to ground collection stations using visible or microwave radiation. Most important to me & US is to back the US Dollar with the Future of Energy & Economy.
In 2011, rollover accidents made up only 2.1% of all vehicle crashes but accounted for a disproportionate 34.7% of occupant fatalities. A NHTSA and IIHS adopted dynamic rollover test may drive the automotive industry to design better performing vehicles during rollovers and ultimately reduce if not eliminate the number of fatalities during rollover accidents.
3,000 MILE CAPACITOR POWERED ELECTRICAL VEHICLE
Crystalline Energy Research Corporation (CER) has designed a revolutionary new Capacitor Energy Pack (CEP) for Electrical Vehicles (EVs) using Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs). The MLCCs utilize CER’s novel and developmental capacitor dielectric materials that have K (Dielectric Constant) factors in excess of 300 hundred million. The CEP would contain 12,000 MLCCs;
This is a gadget which has 3 uses:-
1) Fast means of transport
2) This is a fighter jet with features designed to fight in a war
3) In an emergency it has been programmed to cause huge destruction to enemy's territory
It has many special engines and thrusts which increases its speed.
We know and see that any running car while leave any place, the wind goes toward the leaving place from all sides. By this method we can produce wind power from a train by rotate turbine up to 6 m.w. by carring only 8-10 M.T.
How to build a flying bicycle for everyday use. – First, base the design on proven technologies combined in an innovative manner. Second, use human power where the human engine is most efficient and electric where electric power is most efficient. Third, reduce the drag to the extremes used in human powered speed competitions.
