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.

Humanitarian Land Mine

Land mines are often used to secure some area or to stop hostile soldiers. The standard explosive way of their use kills or harms people. It is not necessary anymore.

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.
