Highly capable small UAVs provide substantial business opportunity, especially if allowed to operate in the suburban market. Reliability issues force the use of a safety pilot for each vehicle in operation,
Challenge - Making orbit is always a challenge of converting chemical energy into kinetic energy. Doing that in one stage means you must deal with a wide variety of flight conditions with one solution, but it also means that there is no integration needed before the rocket launches.
PROBLEM: One of the problems with beam scaling systems, as well as command systems, is that the surface-to-air missile must have great maneuverability to intercept an evasive target. As they approach a target,
Portable high power laser 120 watts capable of welding 1mm steel. The device can cut holes in steel and remove rust. The laser weighs 7 pounds and is conductive cooled.
A drone with a Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and remote sensing programs. Its purpose to revolutionize the technique of landmine identity and clearance, making sure more secure environments for communities laid low with landmines.
Design a drone that can carry a LIBS and remote sensing system.
The main idea of this project is to record an image from a remote distance when the intensity of the signal from the object is less than the threshold sensitivity of the CCD camera used. The plane-parallel coherent laser beam (1, Fig.
PROBLEMS: Launching into space is too expensive because rocket boosters are still used for the 1st stage (boost stage) of launch, in which the rocket engines must burn extra tremendous amounts of propellants to overcome gravity and air drag inside the atmosphere. In a 2018 interview with CNBC,
Over 1,000,000 people are killed each year during urban disasters. 2,500,000 people will be permanently disabled or displaced, and the affected communities will take 20 to 30 years to recover and billions of dollars in economic losses.
With an Isp of 175 sec with a density Isp of 1.5, it creates a rocket motor 1/2 the size of a normal solid propellant motor. Although low in Isp,
