Transportation
SkyAuto:
My VTOL [Vertical Take Off & Landing Aircraft] prototype model is SkyAuto, which will be a two-seater VTOL. Having three small jet engines mounted at three sides of the VTOL, it will fly at an altitude of 30 feet. My aim is to make it for urban transportation with enhanced security and advanced navigation.
The world that we live in now would most likely be impossible had it not been for innovations in transportation. There would never be a time that you could get between cities and back in a matter of minutes. If transportation wasn't as advanced as it is,
Slice-Ship Panamax +
The expansion of the Panama Canal is impressive, but global trade is expanding at a greater pace than the locks can accommodate.
By 2013 the Canal will be able to accommodate ships carrying 18,000 cargo containers,
With the amount of vehicles that ply on the roads every day, and with plenty of unused energy dissipated in no useful work, the proposed system would change the way the roads are used and built.
This technology would utilize the roads as power generation stations, by employing cheap sheets of piezoelectric transducers,
Electrical Bike with Solar Disc Wheel
This concept bike is a design challenged by today's pursuit of greener transportation devices. It is capable of running on battery power, on power from sun light, by pedaling or a combination of these.
A solar/human powerd tricycle for personal transport and light cargo that, depending on motor size (easily varied) can eather be ridden legally as a bicycle or registered as a motorcycle. Range with no sun is between 40 and 130 km and maximum speed is 25 to 60 km,
Many locations with poorly developed infrastructure do not have the capacity to receive airplanes and rely on ground transport from better equipped ports. Conventional airships could theoretically put down at any location, but due to expense of helium lifting gas are rarely used. They are also difficult and dangerous to handle during landing and take-off.
With up to 35% fuel saving and meeting ISO 50001 standards, this system would assist in power management of Heavy Truck tractor trailers.
1st) Solar panels are located on 3 sides of the boxed trailer to continuously charge onboard batteries, either stationary or in motion.
The Solo high-performance, single-seat vehicle is designed to explore new ideas in personal transportation. The product of many years experience in the high-performance automotive, aircraft and composite-materials industries, Solo is ultra-light, highly fuel-efficient and offers the performance, comfort and safety of conventional small vehicles while providing a rational,
