Maintenance Free PCV Line Liquid Vapor Filter

There is usually some accidental liquid along with vapor laden blow-by purged from the crankcase and simply burned at a controlled minimal rate in the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, an essential strategy for maintaining oil quality. Not all of it stays as vapor or makes it the whole distance,

Modular Multi-speed Transmissions For Medium- And Heavy-duty Electric Vehicles

A concept of novel modular multispeed transmissions is proposed for electric vehicles, with the total number of underdrive and overdrive speeds dictated by the application needs.

The first variation includes two separate gear trains, as shown in Fig. 1: one for underdrive, and one for overdrive speed ratios.

MyriaDrive

MyriaDrive is a lighter gear for performance bicyclists. By replacing the standard steel chain with a belt, we save significant weight. Every gram saved is worth $10 to a performance bicyclist. The value proposition is decreased weight without any loss in performance.

It is a transmission device utilizing uninterrupted gear ratios to increase energy efficiency in autos.

Nautilus Cycle - HCI/HCCI Achieved

The Nautilus Cycle utilizes semi-continuous HCI/HCCI combustion with a primary/secondary piston proposal. Placing a ‘nipple” also known as the primary piston with this design on top of the regular shaped piston is what makes this concept so unique and effective during a homogenous charge compression ignition cycle. The well thought cylinder head design now consists of a ‘

Novel Constant Velocity Joint

Constant velocity joints are not a "sexy" technology. They don't elicit emotions as potential cancer cures do. Until now you've probably never heard of a CVJ but they serve an important role in our everyday lives. It enables all kind of vehicles and modes of transportation to operate efficiently. More effective future robots can be built.

Novel Turbocharged Diesel Engine

Turbo-charged diesel engines offer advantages in terms of high output power, but are of higher initial cost. Problems exist with respect to matching of the turbocharger with engine at part loads .As a cheaper alternative to such engines, reciprocating compressors in-built in a multi-cylinder engine functioning in lieu of a turbocharger unit can be built.
