Origami Steel is a patented, transformational, highly cost efficient structural steel fabrication technology that replaces hot rolled structural steel commodity products and profiles with hot rolled steel coil or plate that can be formed into virtually any shape.
Origami Steel has developed, tested,
Technology description: The aim of the augmented associate is to provide an inexpensive, non-intrusive confirmation of task success to assembly associates. It comprises a wearable sensor system that collects and measures multiple sensors (i.e. sound, movement, force) and through sensor-fusion, 
The main uses for this design would in the automotive industry, however,
The STEHO SYSTEM - the result of long term research - works in the field of reduction of operational loses of the input power supply (power grid), and significantly reduces electricity payments (up to 50%).
The system works with the magnetic property laid by in the steel of three independent transformers acting as reactors,
CO2 emissions are a problem that cannot be ignored. Despite worldwide attempts at legislation and organization, experts predict that emissions will continue to climb 2% per year going forward. Coal and other hydrocarbon plants that generate power are some of the largest contributors of atmospheric CO2. State-sponsored resolutions to decrease CO2 emissions have proved costly.
The growing demand for digitization to transition into the Industry 4.0 or Internet of Things has presented an opportunity to learn, construct and lead the innovations thermal system monitoring and predictive maintenance. Without a connected interface or configurable modes, legacy systems support a limited set of preset fault conditions with limited configurations.
Design Statement and Working:
In the drawing hinged partial water filled bottle is not able to balance itself because of store and restore cycle developed by water weight wave energy or and tension spring drive force.
Vehicle is mounted/hanging or connected by elevated or side placed tube shaped structure.
For Propulsion: Electromagnets installed in tube shaped structure and vehicle body/ connecting link or wings producing the electromagnetic forces to propel the vehicles in forward direction by Electromagnetic Suspension Systems (EMS) principle.
Vehicle can run on the road, hover and fly in the air.
Design has following parts:
Seating, Payload, Extended Portion and Impeller cabins or compartments, fold-able wings that mounted at the sides of vehicles body (in option).
Rotary seats and payload capsules.
Impeller, perforated sheet for air entrance, airfoil shaped flaps.
Landing gear and powered wheels.
