Ductile Ceramics

It is possible to make plastically deformable metal rich ceramics with melting temperatures over 2,500C by sintering them under high pressure exceeding 1 GPa up to 2 GPa and high temperature over 2,000C. These deformable ceramics are useful for using as turbine blades for gas turbine engines, mainly for jet engines.

EED Creates the Future 2013

EED Creates the Future 2013

Goal: Create an electric energy device (EED) system for usage in transportation like an aircraft or automobile. Cost effective, practical, and dependable. The transportation will operate, except without the necessity of fossil fuel. Meaning the transportation will operated with or without its petrochemical propulsion engine(s). The auto/aircraft will be “driven/flown” safety, nonetheless.

Emergency Power for Critical Infrastructure

Utilize RTGs (Radioisotopic Thermal Generators) to generate 35-75 KWe during emergencies, for sustaining our critical infrastructure.

Heat from the RTGs would either generate electricity using thermocouples or using heat exchangers to generate a simple steam cycle turbine generator.

The advantages include: Small relative sizes, ease of mobility, long lasting power source.

Primarily for military and security forces,

Ergonomic Seat

This project is very simple. I'm 1,84 mt tall and all the time I'm travelling around the word I have to stay a lot of hours seated so, for me, many time this is a big problem and I think it's also a problem for a lot of people.

Flying Solar Power Plant

This is a design for a mobile aerial solar power plant (MASP) that uses the large surface area and heavy lifting capabilities of a remote-piloted airship to provide a platform for the collection, storage, and wireless delivery of solar-derived energy to a rectenna unit capable of powering an ad hoc electrical power grid on the ground.

Full Electric Combustion Chamber for Turbojet Engines

Plasma propulsion engines which are currently used in space missions use the kinetic energy of the plasma itself to generate the thrust required by the spacecraft. My idea, instead, is of using the plasma and its great heat to replace the heat generated by the combustion of fuel in today's jet engines.

Future Aircraft

SWAG Aircraft ----------Future is in Nature!

Fastest flying animals have two main advantages upon classical aircraft: Smart shape and flight mechanics.

WHY? They flew millions of years ago ( 160 ) and so have taken out the very best solution for an economic flight.

Energy saving is life insurance!
