Heated Roads

To prevent delay in travel time, accidents, and destruction of road surfaces I recommend using heated roads. To achieve this I suggest using a conductive grid layed just under the roadway surface at the time of resurfacing or new construction. The grid would be heated by solar power collected every 5-10 miles of highway/roadway.

High Altitude Hybrid Satellite

It is getting to be more and more of a significant problem for governments, industrials and the eco-system itself that known transportation systems do not provide the market between fast airplanes with small payloads and slow ships with weighty payloads. Without affecting the eco-system with harbors, rails, highways,

Hot Air Dirigible

I am building a hot air dirigible that has many uses. In small payload designs, the dirigible can be used by military and police departments for surveillance. In the radio controlled designs, the operating costs would be much less than helicopters that have operating costs are more than $350 dollars per hour, being in the $20-$50 per hour range.

Human Powered Ornithopter

Flapping winged flight is the most efficient means of transportation in the natural world; consider that birds migrate thousands of miles on very little energy. Since Da Vinci men have dreamed of emulating the elegance of birds. Several fixed-wing designs have proven that the human body is capable of powering significant flight distances e.g. the gossamer albatross.

Hydraulic Hybrid - Hydrostatic Powertrain & Safety

Future cars require significant improvements in fuel consumption, emissions and safety. So far, they have been obtained through a more than proportional increase in complexity and cost. The new hydrostatic powertrain shows drastic improvements in all three areas and for reduced costs.

Conventional cars use around 14% of the energy for driving.

Hydristor Retrofit

The Hydristor retrofit is intended to convert existing vehicles into full hydraulic hybrids. There are some 250 million vehicles already on the roads. The energy spent to manufacture them is already expended and they use too much fuel and create considerable CO2 emissions.
