The idea is to provide lower installation cost and higher efficiency alternative to solar updraft tower.
As for updraft power plant generating ability depends primarily on the collector area (solar energy absorbed), the chimney height and air temperature difference.
Any good machine design must both start at the top with high-level concepts and then immediately restart at the bottom. Good designs will eventually meet themselves in the middle. Today, the very pinnacle of our machine designs, the defining relationship between man and machine, is one of master-slave.
Introduction:
Hydrogen Technologies, Inc. (HTI) has developed, proven and patented technology that makes the storage of large amounts of electrical power not only possible but also economically attractive. This technology has the potential to catalyze and sustain a major paradigm change in the electrical power industry. Fundamentally, the Company combines hydrogen and clean energy technologies, such as wind,
The Team aim towards designing, validating and fabricating a three wheeled hybrid human powered electric vehicle driven by two drivers, which has a capability to act as a good viable option for city local transportation. The vehicle would be capable to be driven simultaneously as well as alternatively by two drivers.
Problem the Design Solves: During hurricanes, the ROOFS of many homes and businesses come off, resulting in extreme interior and exterior damage from wind and rain, walls blown down, and interior furnishings destroyed. Extensive financial loss in millions of dollars results, and loss of human life, is involved in the US alone.
For decades aerospace engineers have been warning of pollution saturation in the stratosphere/troposphere regions where commercial jets operate, and of the consequences of elevated ground level ozone generated at airports. This project initiates development of a hybrid aircraft engine that produces no unburned hydrocarbons at idle, low NOx at takeoff, and low CO2 at cruise.
Creating an idea and bringing it to reality can happen in less than a year. But improvement of it for achieving better gain and efficiency may take several decades. A good example of this is Engines. In recent years human effort for increasing vehicle engines efficiency is not limited to mechanical improvement.

HYDRAULIC BEARING
*All the weight of the axis spins on a hydraulic fluid, eliminating the need for metallic rollers.
*Works with a very low pressure due the great contact surface. Approximately 71 psi (5kgf/cm2).
*The fluid pressure causes the flotation and the equilibrium of the inner body of the bearing.
***New, non-obvious, useful (PCT/OMPI 2012).
HYDRAULIC RAILWAY SYSTEM
*All of the weight of the train is sustained by the hydraulic fluid eliminating the use of wheels.
*Does not consumes energy for flotation (it is a closed sealed hydraulic system).
*It works with extremely low hydraulic pressure, due the distribution of the fluid In a great contact surface. Approximately 142 psi (10kgf/cm2).
