SKYCAP

Since the 1950’s the state-of-the-art for transport aircraft design has been the extendable ‘tube’ that transfers strength and rigidity through the external skin. This design includes a passenger compartment with its ‘overhead bins’ and a floor under which cargo and utility equipment ride.

Smokeless Landing

The basic idea is upon landing to start the rotation of the airplane wheels before contact with the ground.

Courrently at the moment of the first contact with the ground, the wheels skid generating smoke and reducing the life of the tires because the wheel speed is above cero in relation to the ground.

Stealthy Propulsion System

Hydrodynamically speaking, screw propellers of conventional marine propulsions represent vortex systems rotating in transverse to the flow plane that generates periodic impulses of pressure in water and this way create underwater acoustic field being used for detection and identification of ships.

Submersible Speedboat

The submersible speedboat can be carried assembled by road, rail or ship. The small size, high speed, the use of the water jet, low acoustic, electric, hydrodynamic, thermal and magnetic footprint, the silent planned displacement, with the propulsion system off and consecutive surfacing / diving, allows to act in a "noisy" environment, avoiding the need countermeasures. Fins,

System for Suppressing Noise from a Jet Engine

This invention involves controlling the unwanted acoustic noise inherent in a highly concentrated flame by modulating an electric arc embedded in the flame. The purpose of the arc is to generate an inverse modulated signal, which will inhibit the unwanted noise, generated by the combustion gases in the flame.

The Afterburning Rocket Engine

The Innovation

Launch vehicle rocket engines must operate from sea level to near-vacuum conditions. They require high thrust at takeoff when the vehicle is heaviest. As the vehicle ascends to space it requires a high specific impulse (Isp) to minimize the propellant consumption. These requirements are in conflict.

The Babel Tower: a Super-tall Structure with a Sub-orbital Elevator

The idea of reaching up to the heavens has captivated several generations. For this challenge, rockets have shown to be extremely inefficient, and the idea of constructing a “Centrifugally Extended Carbon Nano-Tube Tether Space Elevator” (CECNTTSE) presents unsolved technological challenges. We conclude that; to efficiently achieve the goal of unrestricted movement away from Earth’s gravitational pull,
