Reduce Impact of Railway Rail Thermal Gap

Between two railway rails there must be a thermal space gap to accommodate the steel track thermal expansion due to environment temperature change. When a railway car’s wheel passes this gap, it causes impact between wheel and track and causes vibration. It also causes material fatigue, equipment wear, and energy losses. What is worse,

Refrigerator Heat Exhaust

A means of ducting and venting the heat from the heat exchanger of a refrigerator to the outside so that the heat doesn't need to be removed a second time by the home air conditioning system, thus saving energy. The vent would be ducted out of the home by the duct systems currently in use for venting cloths dryers.

Regenerative Electric-Powered Aircraft

Adding the "regeneration" feature to an electric aircraft significantly extends the flight time, distance, and safety. The dual-role "windprop" provides power for self-contained takeoff, cruise, and climb, and as an airborne wind turbine, restores battery energy when the aircraft encounters updrafts and in final descent. In principle,

Remora Generator

Please forgive my poor quality graphics. My idea was to develop a DC generator that would use the torque from a vehicles drive axle; or drive-shaft to provide additional power. The body of the vehicle provides the anchoring points for the outer housing of the Remora which contains the circuitry for creating the DC current.

Remote Clearance of IEDs by Surface Seismics

The number of deaths and serious injuries to military personnel from IEDs accentuates the need to develop remote methods of clearance. This invention uses remote clearance over a 100 metre range using surface seismic Rayleigh waves, which can be produced repetitively by a seismic pulse generator capable of being mounted on a light vehicle.

Rayleigh waves are large amplitude,
