Transportation
The idea of this design goes back many years. To design a very compact plane, with enough space to carry 4 people in comfort. In the initial model I built CG problems occurred, which led me to a different "double wing" design featured here. The initial model, a glider,
A Symbiotic Structural Health Monitoring and
Structural Control System for Resilient Highway Bridges
Our transportation infrastructure is subjected to many natural and man-made hazards as well as daily traffic loadings. For this reason, a symbiotic structural health monitoring and structural control system is proposed to increase the resilience of highway bridges.
The military presently utilizes the air craft carriers to deploy combat jets overseas. The problem with using them is that they are so yesterday in terms of speed, and wasteful of many types of fuel and energy resources.
AIR CONTROL SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED VEHICLE ECONOMY
Last year I attempted to enter the ‘X-Prize for a 100 MPG Vehicle contest. I own a Toyota 2005 Prius and have 159,000 miles so far. I love this car. I withdrew from the contest because I could not get 75 MPG after testing 19 or so ideas.
Air stream a wide, fast stream laminar flow turbulent-exit machine.
The air at the front of the device it ionized by electrodes that extend into the airflow area to begin the flow. Progressing rearward charged plates each progressively growing stronger at each step cause the air to accelerate towards the plates at 3 to 5 miles per hour.

Proposed Airplane Fuel Tank Modification
The basic concept for the modification is a series of pressurized rectangular pouches of blastproof acrylic fabric, such as Kevlar, which are affixed (epoxied?) to the top and bottom outer surfaces of the plane’s wing fuel tanks, as well as on the central fuel tank in the bottom center of the fuselage.
This is a prop speed reduction gearbox I designed and built for an LS1 V8 engine. I needed to reduce the nose weight to move the aircraft's CG back. I was also motivated to reduce the overall powerplant weight, to get it under the existing certified 6 cylinder opposed engines.
Manned space missions have a great risk because of the harsh environment and the unpredictable variables. For that reason, mobile robot exploration missions are preferred. Earth control of a Mars rover always introduces an almost forty-five-minute time delay because of a huge distance between two planets. For that reason, it is necessary to design an autonomous rover.
NEED FOR INVENTION:
Since bicycles have existed for so long, we take for granted their construction and usefulness. We normally use the bike for transport, leisure & as an exercising equipment. Under careful consideration,we can find enormous potential for many other uses.The drawbacks of existing construction are:
Only our legs get enough exercise due to cycling.
This describes a proposed automated package transport system that supplements current methods for delivering small to medium sized packages. Advantages of this transportation method are both energy efficiency and speed of transport. Installation of the system into the existing infrastructure is possible without major environmental impacts due to the size of the transport vehicles,
