Landing Gear Pre-spinner

An aerodynamic device that spools up the main wheel landing gear on transport airplanes including airliners.

This device could be located at the hub area, something that attaches to any part of the wheel assembly. Very small, lightweight made from plastic. The idea is to spin the tire at approximately 10 mph tire speed prior to touchdown.

LeviCar/RoboTrail -- Multi-Mode Vehicles for Both Road and MagLev Rail

Magnetic-Levitation (MagLev) rail provides a virtually frictionless way to transport people and goods at high speeds of 300 mph (480 km/h) or more. MagLev trains can be fast, but they are still trains – they must stop and start often, and stations might be far from passengers’ homes or business. As such,

Linked Car Shock Absorbers

Car suspensions have changed little in the last 100 years: a spring coupled with a shock absorber, to compensate for sudden level variations. A major flaw of this system is the symmetry of suspensions during a turn. Because of inertia, the car tilts on the outside and shifts its weight on the outer suspension, and lowers adherence.

MAGLEV Driveline for Wheeled Vehicles

VBD Automotive Technologies has developed a MAGLEV driveleine for wheeled fuel cell powered vehicles. The driveline known as the “Magnetic Hubless Wheel Drive” (MHWD), essentially allows for the elimination of the high torque output requirement for wheeled vehicles which currently derive their traction/driving force from the torque applied at the wheel hub to overcome the wheel radius.
