Pure Air Fuel Car

A compressed air car is an alternative fuel car. We can create the new world which does not pollute the surrounding by vehicle emissions. This can be achieved by making the compressed air engine that operates under dual operation. That is simultaneously power the car and run a compressor without any external energy.

Rapid Terraforming of Hostile Terrestrial Bodies

On of the main obstacles to increased space exploration is the lack of nearby habitable worlds. Mars atmosphere is less than 1% of Earths, while Venus' is 92x denser, making both worlds uninhabitable despite their agreeable surface gravities and within the margins solar habitable zone. Making these planets habitable would allow for human colonization, decreasing population on Earth,

Reducing Oil Reliance Via LIM and IPT Technologies

Current surface transportation technology contributes to over two-thirds of US petroleum consumption and nearly one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. Measures to decrease this reliance on petroleum will improve national security and decrease global climate change. Electric vehicles (EVs) offer such an opportunity, but challenges with battery capacity, rate of power delivery, and recharging requirements limit vehicle range,

Regeneration of Automobile Kinetic Energy Loss in Deceleration

Presented system for regenerating automobile kinetic energy loss in deceleration uses a piston engine that as a compressor charges a reservoir and as an engine augments the main engine on acceleration. Effectiveness exceeds that of electric power absorption systems because energy and maximum power absorption are greater while the size, weight and cost are much lower. For example,

Rethink Electric Car Transmissions

As companies around the world have grappled with how best to implement electric cars and electric transmissions, they have fallen prey to the trap of old design paradigms. They insist on placing a small electric motor under the hood, just like a gas motor, with batteries under the floor boards. It’s time to break from this mold,
