The DragShield is an aerodynamic device that is placed behind the pickup truck cab, where air flows over the cab and into the truck bed. The DragShield has been proven by both analysis and testing to reduce the fuel consumption of a pickup truck.
NASA's Langley Research Center has developed a new technique to enable the preparation of metal/composite hybrid laminates, also known as fiber metal laminates (FML), by depositing metal directly onto fabric using a plasma deposition process.
Environmental pollution is increasing day by day in India and the world. From one report 10% of total pollution is produced through automotive engines. And economy of engine will decreases day by day by increasing in its cc capacity for higher power output,
Pneumatically powered bicycle project:
This bike is driven through oppressing air pistons via pedals. Hence there is no chain mechanism. The operator oppresses pedals thus cylinders supply pressurized air power to the rear wheel air motor.
Air is first driven through a cyclone air filter to the cylinder.
Lots of times we have watched on TV police pursuing the suspect's car, It took hours to stop. It was dangerous - harmful to innocent people. I was worried about that. Then I made this product helping the police to stop a suspect's' car.
The invention (US 6851690, EP 1210236, PL 192322, HK 1049313) provides a purely mechanical, steel, progressive rate vehicle suspension system, with damping characteristic that can be adapted for any type of vehicle or working machine.
Currently all commercial continuously variable transmissions (CVT’s) in the automotive industry function on a friction drive principle. This friction drive interface exists between two hardened smooth steel surfaces separated by a traction fluid film. Traction fluid has the unique property in that it solidifies under high pressure,
LLNL has a long history, since 1997, in developing and testing active and passive aerodynamic concepts for heavy vehicles (add-on devices) and more recently,
