UAVs can carry a huge range of tasks. So now more than 250 companies in the world are developing UAVs. But they have serious disadvantages:
1. Airplane type UAV:
- small value of the lift force per unit of engine power;
- difficult takeoff and landing;
- low mobility, including inability to hang on the spot;
The new Diesel technology is forcing OEMs to install a Selective Reduction Catalyst to reduce the NOx pollution and to do so they need a Urea (aka DEF Diesel Exhaust Fluid) tank. For a SUV it is about 10 gallons.
A configurable "key" for use with vehicles. The key would be based on a USB flash drive that could be configured by the owner of the vehicle. Any flash drive could be used and configured by the owner.
An automobile spark ignition (SI) engine is most efficient at heavy load operating condition that comes rarely. It runs mostly at low load conditions when the fuel efficiency worsens. At regular drive conditions, VariPhase engine is at least 100% more fuel efficient than the conventional SI engines.
Idea: Our student team developed a prototype of a vehicle with autonomous operation. The driverless vehicle will transfer passengers or cargo between given points of a route. The car automatically calculates an optimal route considering traffic congestion, road work and other road incidents. The vehicle analyzes road signs and road markings, the local traffic situation around the vehicle,
We propose the new damper concept VZN –Variable Zeta after Necessities, Zeta being the relative damping changing stepwise according piston position, correlated thus with the vehicle load state and the road unevenness amplitude.
VZN main differences comparative to standard dampers are:
It has no valves in piston
Valve body has only filling valve on rebound,
As people are paying more and more attention on green and renewable energy sources for the purpose of transportation and mobility, I design this concept vessel using wave energy which is collected by a set of unique "antennae."
The vessel is designed to be unmanned, small size and low speed. The shape is streamlined,
Capitalizing on new items recently patented or submitted: It is now possible to create a Plug-in/Solar Electric vehicle that performs equal with the gasoline sport cars by employing highly efficient individual wheel motors, the brand-new therm-o-electronic battery, a battery that charges up like a water heater, in fifteen minutes or less, without melting the plug!
Unknown hydro & aerodynamic technologies are used to make directional thrust devices for water and aircraft. Analytical control software is in specification stage that can multi-task. The software can make operation of water or aircraft easier. In addition, the water or aircraft can be self-controlling w/ computing systems that are fully functional (w/o bugs or freezing up).
The most efficient engines in the world are two-stroke diesels. They are used in locomotives and ships where fuel cost is the most important thing. However their peak efficiency (about 50%) is at one power level, which is usually the maximum power. Locomotives solve this problem by having multiple engines and running as many as needed.
