VFI-689M / Cavitation Resistant Vortex Force Monovane Centrifugal Turbopump Rotor Assembly

INTRODUCTION:

Blade fatigue, due to cavitation in rocket engine turbopumps, often triggers catastrophic system failures, costing backers of space missions, launch vehicle operators and their customers millions of dollars every year. The Next Planet Research VFI-689M System has the potential for reducing pump failures by optimizing launch vehicle performance and improving safety margins.

Hexaflex Honeycomb Heat Shield Panel

We propose an alternative heatshield design for SpaceX’s Starship. It solves the problem of how to efficiently make a heatshield core material made of steel alloy that can be formed into double asymmetric curvatures without distortion and which has an interstitial space to hold either fuel or water in between the sandwich layers.

Seeair

I want to reduce airplane loss of control accidents. While most general aviation accidents have lessened in recent decades, loss of control has not improved. Some accidents happen because the flyer's imagination does not match reality. Since the air is invisible, our imaginations could be wrong. I have seen the air made visible by sparse, oversize and buoyant snowflakes.

Anteneh's V Vest

​Bulletproof vests are very important and I hope you don’t have to use them in your lifetime because using them means you are being shot at. You cannot always control the action of others so you need a means of protection like a bulletproof vest until you decide to return action in kind and amount.

Design of the E-VTOL (Designing of Vehicle That Works With Vertical Take Off and Landing, in Small Areas, Without Runway)

This conceptual design is one of the futuristic designs in my thoughts.

My design is for an E- VTOL ( ELECTRIC- VERTICAL TAKE OFF LANDING) Vehicle, which can operate in small areas, without using a runway. Takeoff and landing is done at the same place using turbopropellers, and maneuvering at low altitude, and maintaining safety.

In my thoughts,

MAREO III: Jogging to Mars

Orbiter mid deck is circular. Its floor has a spheric section curve of very large radius, as if it were a piece of a giant sphere hundreds of feet in diameter. Its imaginary center of revolution is hundreds of feet above.

Deck revolves, rather than rotate as in earlier concepts for artificial gravity spacecraft.
