Lestran Orbital IVT™ Infinitely Variable Transmission Using Oscillating Torque
40% less cost and weight...... more torque and higher efficiency
Presentation in detail http://d3dhemmer.com/TOM/
The patented Lestran Orbital IVT™ is a novel transmission design that transmits mechanical power via oscillating torque,
I have made an electric rechargeable heater with a programmable 7 day timer that pre-warms the interior of your vehicle. The prototype unit works well and I think that little improvement is needed!
Background
Automobile safety continues to advance with the assistance of cameras and video technology. Backup cameras for most vehicles will become mandatory in the United States in 2018. Blind spot cameras (and alarms) in automobiles are becoming more mainstream as well.
Novel Working Principle
As shown in picture and video, this new compressor works differently than all other styles. During the rotor translating circularly, the rotor teeth and shell teeth are engaged and form closed spaces which volume change is used to apply pressure to the gas inside.
Lubricants are widely used in modern technology in order to reduce friction in moving mechanisms of motors, bearings, gears, etc. and to reduce friction in the machining of structural and other materials in machine tools (turning, milling, grinding, etc.). In terms of production and use,
THE PROBLEM:
Ozone layer depletion is a well known problem. Not necessary to write too much about it. If You need more info, please visit the NASA web site, You will be informed.
I'll write about the solution.
For decades the scientific world has been dreaming of building enough 100 Megawatt OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) power plants to fill the oceans. Why not take the power from the world’s largest solar collector (the ocean)? Near the equator, the warm water provides power to generate electricity,
The design objective was to design a vehicle for the next generation (Generation Z) for the world's largest cities of the future.
The Vehicle is designed around the city of Tokyo for the year 2025, with the aim at bringing excitement back into the commuter's day to day travels.
