Matter Masses in Linear, Spiroidal Rotational Motion and Attraction, in Space Within Aether

My lengthy searching of Plato's works, resulting in the Discovered Invention of a New Polyhedron the “GENERATOR POLYHEDRON” [2017 –a Non-Regular Icosahedron, Relating the 5 Platonic Polyhedron] together with my own parallel considerations and questions for the actions and mechanisms of the Galactic Spirals,

Glider Towing eDrone

Gliding is a quite sophisticated aeronautical sport practiced in many countries. Although being a bridge for professional pilots training, it is not a popular sport due to its complex operation, high costs and one reason is the use of planes to launch and tow the gliders.

D3 - Control and Deorbit Spacecraft without Rockets

As evidenced by recent events, it is a well-known fact that space debris is a growing threat to operations in space. The proliferation of satellite swarms and constellations is exponentially adding to the danger of catastrophic mission failure or debris scattering. Additionally, spacecraft thrusters may increase that threat due to explosive volatility.

Dynamic Spaceframe

Our design idea solves the problem of providing a means to construct a double layered, expandable dynamic spaceframe, which can transform from one freeform to another, whilst remaining rigid and load bearing throughout its transformation. It takes up little space when folded but can then be expanded to cover a large area or occupy a large space.

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.

Learning Extreme Flight

During the last decade, the commercial drone industry has grown exponentially. Even though the hardware has improved significantly during that time, drones are still limited by their battery life of 10-20 minutes. Such limited flight time restricts their use in many applications, such as search and rescue, delivery, and inspection.

Aircraft Fuselage with Flat Bottom

EXTRACT: Changing the shape of fuselage of an aircraft can result in increased lift, reduced drag and less weight, thereby resulting in overall fuel economy.

INTRODUCTION: Most airplanes have a long CYLINDRICAL fuselage which does not add to the lifting force, but does add to the drag. Shaping the fuselage differently can add to the lift,

Clean and Efficient Radial HCCI/LTC Engine

Clean air is better than dirty air, so it’s wise to reduce emissions. It will take decades to deploy sufficient infrastructure to eliminate internal combustion, however. By the time it’s completed, advances in engineered and bio-fuels will reduce emissions sufficiently to keep internal combustion relevant. This submission summarizes an engine that reduces emissions of lawn tools,
