The Hyperion Solar Array

The Hyperion solar array would be a constellation of transpolar satellites equipped with retractable reflective dishes. When deployed, the dishes redirect sunlight toward any asteroid or comet that threatens the Earth. The redirected sunlight can be used in many ways. The primary purpose being the study and destruction of metiors and comets that threaten Earth.

The Optimization Process of an Autonomous UAV

Paradoxically, the idea that underlies “On the Origin of Species,” written by Charles Darwin comes from geology. Just as rivers have created large geological formations so natural selection has created animals with an optimal configuration, relative to the environment in which they live.

The Paradigm Shift in Wind Turbine Technology

Imagine a renewable energy source that can produce energy at a cost comparable to natural gas or hydroelectric generators using fewer resources, while being environmentally friendly.  Lux Wind Turbines are expected to cost less than 1/2 of conventional turbines and can be spaced closer together to extract more power with less land.

The Phase Explosion Injection for an Ultimate Motor Efficiency

The poor performance of today's thermic engines is due to the temperature inhomogeneity of the hot air. With today fuel injection, it’s difficult to obtain a uniform and stoichiometric air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, in the extremely short deadlines (the order of ms),

The Solution to the Gas Turbine Temperature Problem

Abstract of "The Solution to the Gas Turbine Temperature Problem" by Ronald W. Satz in Energy Conversion and Management, Vol. 20, pp. 49-63. All previous Brayton cycle engines have utilized a separate compressor and expander and thus have been limited in temperature on the expander side. To overcome this limitation, the author has designed a new,

The Variable Compression Ratio and Charge (VCRC) IC Engine

IC engines consume most of our oil. Majority is used for moving people-passenger cars the worst. To reduce the oil produced the entire system needs to be optimized. A car, for example, uses about as much energy making it as it burns over its life of 150 thousand miles or so.
