Light Sport Amphibian

This is my concept of a "purely for fun" sea plane. Designed for open-air fun around the lake, it will be the aviation equivalent of a jet-ski. Use of much carbon fiber, spars of prefabricated carbon pultrusions, 100 h.p. pusher engine, and floats with conventional (4-wheel) retractable gear.

Magna-car MC-01

This will be a car that floats on air from negative magnets on the bottom of the car and positive magnets on the front of the car to pull it and negative magnets on the back of the car to push it. This technology can be used for airplanes that hover without wheels to slow it down or cause accidents.

Method of Fuel Usage

My idea solves the problem of pollution, engine longevity, and vehicle range (unlimited). This idea also has the added benefit of more engine power. There is currently nothing quite like it on the market.

I would suggest that this technology be applied to Trucks, Taxis, Aircraft, Ships and other hard wearing vehicles,

Motion Aeroefficiency Amplifier

Invention is a set of automatically or manually inflatable clear mylar bags of specific contour to enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of a rapidly-moving vehicle at speeds where the energy consumption of propulsion is dominated by vehicular wind drag. Whether a motor-vehicle or human-propelled bicycle or other machine,

Networked Adaptive Traffic Signals

How many times have you seen this happen: a clump of a dozen vehicles are cruising along a major 4 lane street and 1 car on a side street approaches a red "smart" traffic light. Consequently the light (which is ignorant of the approaching dozen cars) changes in favor of the single car and wastes the kinetic energy (originally,

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.
