Miniature Roof Mounted Wind Turbine for Power Generation

This concept is to add a series of 4 or 5 miniature wind turbines captured within an aerodynamic designed housing located at the top of a windshield on EV applications. The concept is to utilize the wind velocity flowing up from the windshield to accelerate the air flow through the turbines. In addition,

Solar-powered Transport Networks, JPods

Transport networks must be allowed to innovate. JPods will trigger this change in 2023.

Streets are for people, shops, restaurants, and commerce on a human scale. Turning streets into roads for automobiles over the past century was an epic engineering and policy mistake.

Roads are the wrong networks for cities.

Autonomous Sun Visor

The sun visor in all of our vehicles was initially invented in 1931. No major design changes or improvements in over 90 years! According to NHTSA sun glare causes approximately 9,000 crashes a year.

Problem:

Current sun visors are a manual system unsuitable for safety, cumbersome to use, and don't cover all areas of the windshield or side windows.

Dynamic Unbalance Correction Mechanism

In many types of rotating equipment (cars, boats, helicopters, pumps, compressors), regular wear and tear bring about a gradual increase in unbalancing of the rotating components. In an industrial settings, unbalancing is one of the most common causes of failures (e.g. bearing wear, mechanical seal; etc.). This unbalance is even more crucial/prevalent in higher-RPM components.
