Hybrid Bike

Today we are familiar with the hybrid concept in four wheelers. It has a advantage of fuel saving, low pollution. But why not in two wheelers? Here it is. The Hybrid Bike. It is combination of regular IC engine powered bike+electric bike. Also the provision to eliminate the external charging is also there.

IC Engine with NO Crankshaft

Planetary gear-sets can be incorporated in the design of an IC engine by replacing the conventional style crankshaft. This concept could be used in IC engines of all sizes, two or four stroke, gas or diesel, the only stipulation being, in its simplest form, the architecture be that of a “boxer” opposed cylinder configuration.

In-Wheel Brushless DC Outer Rotor (Hub) Motor Used in Electically Driven Vehicles

The presented idea is a full mechanical, magnetic and electrical design of an in-wheel brushless DC outer rotor (hub) motor. The rim of any wheel would serve as the rotor, after some modifications, for the motor. Varying rims sizes yields varying power throughput. The larger the rim the higher the output power.

Industry-Changing, Patented, Continuous, Highly-Automated and Efficient Manufacturing Process Yielding Benchmark Highly-Engineered Friction Composites

While there have been many technological advancements in vehicle braking systems over the years (4-Wheel Disc, Anti-Lock, Electronic Stability Control, etc.), widespread advancements in friction materials and their manufacturing processes are few. The problematic nature of today’s resin bonded metallic (“RBM”) materials (including environmental, wear and performance issues, as well as declining quality from offshore production),
