Time travel, a concept often explored in science fiction, remains a dream for now due to its conflict with the laws of physics. When moving in space, we do not carry the entire external environment around us - buildings, trees, people... .
This project proposes a 360-degree ground-to-air detection system designed to precisely identify and track commercial drones, including mini FPV models. The system leverages a multi-sensor approach for robust and reliable performance.
Multi-Sensor Synergy:
High-Resolution LiDAR: LiDAR sensors provide detailed 3D mapping,
PROBLEM
Autonomous Systems - aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and autonomous vehicles rely heavily on sensors (e.g., GPS, cameras, LiDAR, gyroscopes, etc.) for perception and use specialized algorithms for navigation and autonomous operations. The sensors' accuracy and reliability are crucial for these systems' safe operations.
This project focuses on the design, development, and manufacturing of a small-scale turboprop engine. The goal is to create an efficient and reliable propulsion system using advanced engineering principles and 3D printing.
The engine design includes both axial and centrifugal compressors for optimal air compression. The axial compressor,
Sailing to the Moon in Search of Water is a game changer for manned and unmanned missions to moon and beyond. Water is a critical substance for life and propellant. Currently we do not understand the sub-surface of the moon.
Presently, there is a global consideration for air-breathing electric propulsion ramjet configurations, though those utilizing air scoops face significant momentum losses due to air collimation and drag. Several years ago, an idea emerged for a direct scramjet configuration aimed at reducing drag substantially,
This report details a groundbreaking miniaturized unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for autonomous operation in both air and water. This amphibious UAV boasts several key innovations:
Multi-Environment Navigation: The miniaturized UAV seamlessly transitions between aerial and underwater exploration, streamlining deployment and operation in aquatic environments.
Most of the current Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft use tilting propellers or wings acted by servo-motors or actuators which increase the complexity and reduce the failure probability of the propulsion system. The cost of such a vehicle is high and the maintenance operations are complicated.
The most fuel-consuming phase of flight, in terms of liters per second, is take-off. With the increasing popularity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Fighter Jets, the need for longer endurance is a common challenge. Saving fuel during take-off means extending flight time,
