Aircraft Hydroplane Prevention System

OVERVIEW

This system works by disrupting the surface tension of water that 1, forms a wedge under a tire due to a combination of velocity and water depth on the road/runway surface (Dynamic Hydroplaning) and 2, aerosolizing the thin layer of water on oil film that forms on paved surfaces due to rubber deposited by tire contact and spin

Swarm Control and Extensible, Transformative, Spacecraft using CubeSats as Modular Building Blocks

This entry contains a novel swarm control technology for aerospace applications that enable on-orbit servicing, collaboration, and coordination. Certain classes of reconfigurable modular robotics systems are intended to function like social insects or multicellular animals, where millions of cells work together to ensure the survival of the whole. While each cell is simple, has a short life span,

Revolving to the Stars

A Mars spacecraft orbiter comprises a crew Habitat Block and a Service Propulsion Block, which are connected via a special crankset mechanism (Figure One) or else equivalent revolving means. The two halves revolve contrary to each other and act as counter-masses.

The Habitat is revolved to provide angular momentum-based "artificial gravity" for the benefit of the crew.

Multi-Ducted Angled Rotor System

Traditional planar ducted fans can suffer from stall and drag in edgewise flight due to the high angle of attack at which air must turn into the rotors. This creates blade imbalance and instability in the aircraft that rely upon such fixed fan-in-wing designs.
