Planar Motor with Integrated Position Detection

The idea to utilize waves in elastic solids for generating rotational motion goes back to Sashida (1982) and has become widespread in mechatronic systems, for instance in photo cameras for focusing the lenses.

The basic idea behind the so called travelling-wave-type-motor are the elliptic trajectories of the surface points in the stator.

PLASTOLEUM ( Plastic to oil)

Petroleum and plastic cannot be explained discretely, as plastic is nothing but one of the many useful products derived by processing petroleum. Plastic is obtained when crude petroleum is processed and treated with a few other additives. This would basically make plastic a polymer of hydrocarbon with few other elements.

Pneumatic regenerative brakes

The invention relates to saving the kinetic energy of the vehicle (any car/bus/truck/train/two-wheelers) wasted at the time of breaking by converting it into potential energy for reuse, thereby increasing the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

Every vehicle in motion has some kinetic energy in it which is directly proportionate to its mass and velocity.

POLMAP - Sea Observation Airship

POLMAP is an airship that allows humans to observe the (open) sea. The first idea (but POLMAP can be used for scientific research also) for designing POLMAP is because we have no way to survey the ships that transfer the gazole on the sea.

Poppet off

ICE(internal combustion engine)are very highly developed machines. Today any improvement in the efficiency is needed to extend the supply of limited resources.

Modern ICE engineers have developed every part but one the valve that connects the atmosphere to the combustion chamber.

At the present time the simple poppet valve used in modern ICE has never been challenged seriously.

Porcupine Ceramic Heat Exchanger

Abstract

Porcupine Quill ceramic heat exchanger promotes both - free air circulation and maximization of caloric transfer capabilities. The ceramic has half the weight of copper and three-quarters the weight of aluminum and is resistant to most corrosive or abrasive effluents with caloric conductance of .375, relative to that of copper.
