Tangent Drive Mechanism (TM)

Invented by Dr. Nicholas A. Sanders, the recently patented Tangent Drive(TM) mechanism realizes an energy efficiency increase upwards of 25% when replacing a crankshaft in any reciprocating system, including engines, compressors, generators, and pumps. It is a purely mechanical invention that allows for a 1-to-1 replacement of the Crankshaft.

Temperature Dependent Snow/Ice Wiper Delay

In climates that endure cold and freezing temperatures, a common problem is the need to "deice" windshields before safely driving. In this invention, a pair of comparative temperature sensors would monitor glass temp, and if activated, this system would begin wiping the liquified (melted) water off of the windshield before,

To Determine the Effect of Dimpled Poppet Valve on the Flow in Engine Cylinder by Port Flow Simulation

The intake system is one of the crucial sub-systems in an engine. The geometrical configuration of the inlet ports and the valves and their opening schedule create organized motions in the cylinder, known as swirl (about the cylinder axis) and tumble (orthogonal to the cylinder axis) which help in proper mixing of fuel and air.

Torque Converter Clutch Manual System

1) How it works

a. This system replaces the clutch system for manual transmissions with a locking torque converter, variable vane oil pump, and a clutch pack which will operate as the clutch system for a manual transmission. Components will include a computer-controlled valve body which controls when the clutch pack engages and when the locking torque converter engages.
