New Plastic-Metal Composite 3D Printing Technology

Existing three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies, whether polymer-based or metal-based, can only produce only-plastic structures or only-metal structures, which severely limits the application of additive manufacturing technologies (AM) in electronics such as IOT, ICT, and robotics. Electronic devices typically consist of both functional plastics and metals, including sensors and microactuators.

TenseFlatables: 3D Printed Tensegrity-Assisted Inflatable Structures

Keeping structures lightweight without adversely affecting their functionality is a major engineering challenge. Inflatables—structures that gain their load-carrying capabilities from pressurized air within a tensioned hyperelastic skin—offer a unique solution to this problem. However, although lightweight,

Neurofiboptic ™ Control and Sensing Network

This design idea solves the problems of heavy weight and costs in aircraft and vehicle systems design and manufacturing by eliminating thousands of feet of copper wire that power and connect various systems, most EMI, and time and costs with less additive steps of manufacturing. An additional benefit is safety redundancy built in and reduced maintenance.

Add A Row Concept

ADD A ROW CONCEPT

Basically this concept is an initial installation of a 6 row heat pipe array of one inch (ID) finned aluminum tubes with:

(T3) Exhaust Temperature at 250 Deg (F)

(T1) Supply Temperature based on monthly averages in New York City.

Face and Bypass Dampers on both Exhaust & Supply air flows.

Reduced Payback Theory for Heat Pipe Arrays

REDUCED PAYBACK THEORY

The original values were calculated on a hand held calculator and later verified on a Texas Instrument PLUS 4 computer. Everyone who reads this concept must understand that the information contained herein is based on a technology and fuel costs that existed in 1980.

There are two concepts of application that exist in this theory.
