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. It works by reducing the drag on the vehicle,
Pl4NO is a neo futuristic shoe, made from one single material, mounted by the user, without differentiation between the left or the right foot. This minimalist shoe doesn't need glue, seam, or any other kind of fixation material whatsoever, being structured only by notch mechanisms.
Inspired by the visionary composer and architect Iánnis Xenákis and his graphic projects of composition,
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. FMLs provide a useful combination of structural and functional properties for both aerospace and non-aerospace applications. Currently,
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, it directly cause to higher pollution in air. To control that pollution increasing day by day
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. I tried it in a safe place a couple of years ago. It worked great!
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, typically between 1 to 4 GPa,
Introducing radically new, highly aerodynamic, and integrated Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) geometries for the design of the next-generation, class 8 heavy vehicles. 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,
