“The Jackknife” – A Center of Gravity (CG) Steering and Leaning Vehicle with Automatic Upright and Directional Stability Control…

For decades, budget conscious police departments have depended on the police motorcycle as effective motorized transport at low cost. However, while more economical, the police motorcycle is exposed to the weather, offers no crash protection and with only 2-wheels - is inherently unstable.

Simply enclosing a motorcycle would seem to be the obvious solutions. However,

A Truly Electric Car

Imagine this. Next time you buy a car, you don’t have to settle for what’s on a dealer’s lot.

Instead, you design your own car. You buy a Ford body, GM chassis, Intel motor controllers, Toyota wheel/motors, Honda electric power unit, IBM car operating system, and Nintendo driver control unit.

You mix and match modules to fit your needs.

Active Aerodynamic System for Ground Vehicles

One of the main reserves of improvement in fuel efficiency of ground vehicles is reduction of aerodynamic drag constituting (side by side with the resistance of rolling) the principal component consuming normally a bulk of vehicle’s power to overcome it.

Conventional ground vehicles (including cars, SUVs, trucks, etc.) aerodynamically speaking represent bluff bodies: i.e.,

Active Kinematics Suspension for a High Performance Sports Car

The challenge to design the rear suspension of a rear wheel drive sports car has always been one of optimizing the position of both wheels and therefore the contact patch of the tires in order to obtain the maximum possible limit acceleration.

This project takes the active kinematics idea a step further, and for the first time,
