Automotive/Transportation
Urban city roads are crowded ,chaotic, dusty and polluted. While the two-wheeler gives you the comfort of squeezing through the traffic and reaching the destination faster, they are unsafe in case of accidents and the passengers are subject to polluted air and unpredictable weather conditions. Four-wheelers on the other hand come with great comfort and safety,
The two cycle internal combustion engines could become widely used in the automobile market, if two main goals were achieved:
- maintain its original simplicity
- eliminate the pollution inherent to the concept
Since 1992 I've been studying, prototyping and patenting ideas concerning the possibility of the return of two cycle engines to mainstream transportation means.
Autokinetics AK12EV Ultralight Electric Bus
The concept for this advanced bus design originated with two small grants from the US Department of Energy, and culminated in the fabrication of a proof of concept prototype. A next generation, production ready design is currently under way.
The AK12EV features a low floor architecture from front to rear,

1. Power from the battery powers redesigned electric motor to 1000 r.p.m.,
A conventional supercharger is installed near the engine either above the cylinder block or in front of the engine. One of the problems of the installation of a supercharger at such a place is that as the engine gets heated to high temperature, the supercharger also gets overheated.
The disclosed engine addresses the problem of climate change by increasing engine efficiency and decreasing emissions. A conventional four stroke poppet valve engine is modified to include a novel rotary combustion chamber (RCC) serving all cylinders in the preferred four cylinder format.
ValueGauge presents a paradigm shift in vehicle fuel measurement and driver behavior. ValueGauge enables operators to drive in ways that yield the most Value for their time.
The traditional measure of vehicle fuel consumption is miles per gallon (MPG).
Adjustment of the compression ratio in a running piston engine as a function of operating conditions is recognized as an effective way to improve both light load efficiency and maximum output torque, and is perhaps the last major efficiency improvement available to piston engines in the quest to reach the 2025 CAFE standard of 54.5 mpg.
Overview-
Overtaking is one of the common actions that the driver performs while travelling on the road. Without enough information about the road, overtaking is dangerous and causes many accidents. Although overtaking is important, little research was done in this area. Especially, there is no research focus on helping the driver to judge whether it’
