The aim of this project is to design a highway police service vehicle with regard to the equipment suitable for the duty performance of the highway police of the Czech Republic.
This special, fast vehicle for highway surveillance isn’t marked with the symbols of the Czech Republic Police; on the contrary, it is designed in civil colors. These vehicles participate in capturing dangerous drivers, who put other drivers and traffic in general in danger. They also help to transport donated organs to the hospitals etc.
This car is called Calantha Fair. It contains several useful functions which can make the highway police’s job easier.
Around the whole ...
Bicycle Crank System with Dead Spot Elimination
This system is designed to eliminate the dead spot and enable the user to gain increased stroke power, thus also increasing the speed of the bicycle.
It is compose of a pair of crank arms of an obtuse configuration; each crank presents an orifice, located at the middle part of the crank’s vertex, that when connecting to the spindle allows them to integrate from left to right. These orifices' function is to work as attachment and leaning point for the crank arms. Each crank arm opposite to the pedal receptor presents another orifice that will integrate through another element ...

Jun 30, 2011
Since its early days, the invention of the car changed the way human life was conceived. Distances were shortened, traveling was more comfortable and year after year technological development went further on in order to improve them. Engines, fuel, pieces and accessories are part of the infinite list of car components that evolve year after year making easier day to day transportation.
Among parts and accessories we find tires, those rubber toroids that allow transforming the engine’s power into movement. More than 100 years after the invention of cars, we cannot imagine a car without tires but…How much have they evolved ...
The Explorer (Backpack Gyrocopter)
Overview: The Explorer is a backpack gyrocopter and the gateway to safe reliable personal and utility flight. Most commuters going anywhere typically drive alone. This is taking a toll on our environment, road systems, and current economics. If those that were able to would fly to their destinations it would not only reduce emissions, but save them time and money that could be used elsewhere. Just how much?
(Examples are based off driving/ flying to and from)
Driving example:50 miles = 1 hr. 6 minute drive = 2.0 gallons fuel
Same Destinations
Flight example:34.42 miles = 38 ...
Alterno Bicycle
The invention relates to a mechanism that serves to transform the alternating motion produced by the pedals, rotating around a semicircular pivot point, in a continuous rotation with the possibility of changes the gear ratio continuously (without steps) during operation, or even stay.
There are several mechanisms that make this kind of transformation of the movements, such as the crank handle, but less efficient, because the movements passing through the dead end points, or do not allow the change of gear.
The present invention presents a more efficient way for pedaling, by eliminating the dead end points, and includes ...
E-Path: Sustainable Transportation & Energy Network
E-Path is a concept to facilitate electrification of the North American rail network while providing the right of way for the electrical transmission infrastructure needed to access the large amount of wind energy in the center of the continent. It then leverages the electrified rail network to provide an evolutionary path to fully autonomous intermodal rail service as well as a path to electrification/hybridization of commercial trucking. The intermodal carriages carry their own electric drive train that powers the rear set of tires. 4 deployable steel wheels carry the weight when on the rails. Initially the carriages would be ...

The transvector jet principle with optional water spray/steam thrust booster was envisioned to ensure ample thrust to vertically launch a VTOL jet propelled vehicle and speed up its transition to horizontal flight. This innovative idea could expedite the vehicle’s transition to horizontal flight from a vertical launch and consume less conventional fuel in the process.
Applying the same principle introduced ...
Adjustable Geometry Bicycle
This is an adjustable geometry prone recumbent bicycle. The bike is displayed in its "down" position. At low speeds it is "upright", allowing balance by aligning the riders hips over the pedals and the hands over the front wheel. At speeds over 30 mph, the bike will lower down by use of pneumatic gas springs and allow the rider to maintain a more streamlined position for reduced wind resistance. Braking at using the inertia to raise the bike back up to for low speed maneuvering and stopping. This bike does especially well for hill climbing as well due to ...

This wheelchair is inspired by racing cars and skate boards and designed for children. As an alternative to traditional wheelchair, Velomaxx is powered by arms. Therefore, every child, even kids with a disability who can’t use his/her legs, can enjoy a sportive yet comfortable ride. I wanted to create a wheelchair design that will allow kids to live their dreams of being a pilot of a race car, airplane or feel like they are in a science fiction world.
Target Market:
The target market of this wheelchair is children of age 6 to 12 years. I want them ...
Dynamic Aero-Shroud Oscillating Jet
Applying supersonic counter-flowing cold gas jets of a certain mass flow rate and pressure at the nose of a supersonic vehicle can reduce drag, aerodynamic heating and possibly reshape sonic boom signatures. Wind tunnel and computational fluid dynamics results (shown here) clearly indicate modification of the supersonic shocks by a counter flowing cold gas (air) jet at Mach number 3.48 in a blunt body.
This technology will enable new flight vehicle concepts and applications of supersonic and hypersonic flight. While previous work done with high energy counter-flowing plasma jets has historically shown limited practicality or effectiveness, we believe our ...
Automobile of the Future - Next Million Miles Free!
The huge amount of smoke the Internal Combustion Engine of an automobile (truck/car/bus) bellows, versus the clean ride we all enjoy on a bicycle, made me think of a cleaner source of energy to run the automobile which is not dependent on any sort of crude, not even on the Renewable Energy sources of the Sun, Hydro, or Wind power; is far easier and economical to build than the fuel cell, can be made available 24 X 7 almost without any cost.
It is actually the simple principle of a Dynamo which worked fine on my bicycle, magnified 100 times. ...
Flying Saucer Propulsion System
This is my concept of a flying saucer's propulsion system. This is a shaftless turbine fan. The fan hovers sandwiched at the axis extreme between an opposing magnetic system, which provides frictionless bearing support. The fan then is powered by the same motor launching system used in electronic rail guns. In a typical fan, the shaft and the fan blade area nearest the axis provides little or no usage of usable power at all, except to add additional weight and drag. Much of the pulling and pushing power on any fan system is provided by the area of the ...

Density and Priority Based Traffic Control System
DENSITY AND PRIORITY BASED TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM USING COMPUTER VISION IN ARM PROCESSOR
Most of the traffic control system in developing countries are works based on fixed time concept, the time for Green/Red signals are previously set on the basis of expected traffic densities. Such systems are not dynamic and yields poor results in many situations. Comparatively newer trend is the use of close circuit Charge Coupled Device (CCD) cameras in traffic junctions and in high density areas for surveillance(eg.India). But compared to the huge amount of money spend by the govt. for just the surveillance system is inefficient.
...Self-Propelled Electrotrimaran
The submitted electro-trimaran differs from usual that pontoons are connected to the case of boat not rigidly, but hinged - by means of bars and springs. Therefore pontoons can move concerning the case.
One end of a bar incorporates to a gear of hydraulic mechanism which rotates a shaft of the generator. Hydraulic pistons are installed inside of springs such as shock-absorbers. During fluctuations of pontoons the air (or liquid) of these pistons is forced in special turbine which rotate a shaft of the generator. Depending on size of trimaran it is possible to use only hydraulic or ...
Precise Control of Variable Pitch Propeller
New Technology Provides Reliable, Less Expensive, Dynamic Control Of Air And Watercraft Propeller Pitch
Currently, propeller pitch control uses three approaches: it is based upon either hydrolic oil pressure, mechanical control using lateral motion along the axis of the drive shaft, or electric motor control with the drive motor embedded in the hub. All three of these techniques are either expensive to manufacture and install, or expensive to maintain due to high wear rates or the close machine tolerances required.
The First Image is a conceptual sketch of the Angular Motion Translator (AMT), US patent 6,547,689. The AMT is ...

New Electric Motor Design for Electric Vehicles.
Electric motors used in electric vehicles are not efficient at all speeds, but instead are only efficient at a narrow range of speeds. It turns out that electric motors have what’s called an efficiency motor curve that shows a graphical representation of how efficient a motor is different speeds. The range a motor is efficient at is directly related to its diameter.
Figure 1 shows an efficiency curve of a large, medium and small diameter motors. The large motor is very efficient at low speeds but cannot reach highway speeds. The small motor is very efficient at highway speeds, ...
