Mars offers an attractive first step for expansion into the solar
system and beyond. Offering a range of possibilities, Mars plays a
vital role in our future. Humans have not ventured into the extreme
deep space environment, as this hostile environment proves difficult
to overcome.
The proposed spacecraft,
What is this technology?
The proposed technology provides an “Improved Homogeneous Charge Spark Ignition” that can be fast, easily and economically applied to current vehicles fleet, without manufacture cost increases to new internal combustion engines, diesel and gasoline engines.
This technology can provide solutions to tackle the Global Warming;
Poor farmers from around the world need affordable ways to pump underground water to irrigate their crops, so they can feed their families and earn income. To respond to this challenge, we present a low-cost and low-maintenance steam pump powered by solar heat.
Since the 17th century,
This is a new type of hybrid combustor for turbine driven jet engines which will utilise the convenience of using a conventional combustor to start scramjet combustion that will drive the turbine of a jet engine. The idea is that,
