Kinetic Energy Recovery Wing & Body Design

Reduction of drag and boosting of lift to drag ratio is of paramount importance to maximize flight efficiency. Body shape has a major role in producing drag. In order to reduce drag and increase lift to drag ratio I have successfully developed a new concept after spending several years to research. The concept is described below.

Lasers for Gesture Control Spacecraft and UAV Swarms

The availability of high-performance Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) electronics that can withstand Low Earth Orbit conditions has opened an avenue for wide deployment of CubeSats and small-satellites. Swarms of these small satellites offer whole new capabilities in Earth observation, global positioning and communication compared to a large monolithic spacecraft.

Lean Combustion by Muliscale/Fractal Generated Turbulence in Gas Turbine Engines

For 30 years lean combustion has been known to lower NOx emissions and many programs outline its benefit and in its Tapps II Combusor final report submitted by GE for its GEnx Engine in 2013 it shows zero fractal components. If things are the same, a small but important change can be made.

Matrix Hinge

Innovation is a thin, flexible “Matrix Hinge." This hinge is novel in many ways; it is durable, lightweight, and continuous and is not like any other hinge. The hinge is excellent in tiny applications to large building construction base on the material used to make the unique configuration. The hinge is nonmetallic, non-conductivity, waterproof, rust free,
