The ElectraCopter is a single-seat ultralight electric helicopter. At 150 lbs empty with batteries, it will fit into the 254 lb limit USA ultralight category for unlicensed aircraft. It can be potentially used in other categories and in other countries, depending on regulations and design criteria.
Electric Car Driving Range Extension by a Towed Generator System
PROBLEM: Many potential buyers of electric cars are very concerned about the driving range. These buyers occasionally have to make trips which are beyond the 35- 65 mile range of most pure electric vehicles. Some of these trips will be to places without charging stations,
Electrical automobiles may be the best answer to minimize greenhouse gasses and decrease the cost of commuting. While electrical automobiles have been around for a long time, the current designs are best for short trips around the city. Ideally, the traveler can get to work and get home with only one battery charge,
Electric Glove
I hate when, during running, skiing, and snow shoeing, my hands get cold. Especially when it is to the point I can barely move them. My idea is a twist on current ideas, more like a combination.
While there are many types of gloves and boots to keep us warm, sometimes they just aren't enough.
My idea will spare the air. Firefighters can use these vehicles for hard to reach and unsafe areas. The vehicle will operate on clean electric energy. The power source will not run off of fossil fuels. The control and steering can be operated by licensed driver or firefighters in an emergency.
Device for preventing injury or death by electric shock
This design is for preventing the chances of getting electric shock to an electrician or operator performing troubleshooting or maintenance work in a office or industry. The device is basically based on principle of communication over power line.
Cement is a major and important component in the building processes, but as we know the manufacturing process of it is associated with harmful effects to the evironment and to the workers in this field, so an environment-friendly replacement is a must. Electrical Cement introduces a new methodology. The concept behind it is very simple.
A personal transportation system designed to move 2 people locally with power stored in batteries, produced from pedal generators and on-board solar panels. The ElectriLite weighs 300 pounds and is designed to be produced in communities and facilitated by internet connection where advances in design and component purchases can be coordinated.
Electro-Chemical Machining is a non-traditional way of machining conductive materials. This way is based on the electrolysis concept, as the current passes from tool to workpiece through the electrolyte, the workpiece is to be ionized, then ions are moved tending to precipitate on the tool but it will be flushed by the flow of the electrolyte;
Problem
The threat of an electromagnetic pulse attack is very real. The United States’ posture and readiness with regards to such an attack could best be described as passive and reactive. An attack of this nature would compromise the infrastructure and severely cripple the nation. Such an attack could cause vast destruction to the nation’s security and defenses,
