Replacement Firearm for Non Front Line Troops

My idea is for a new military service sidearm. The US Army will be converting over to the more powerful XM7 rifle for combat use. This gun has higher bullet energy to deal with body armor. For support troops, the current M16 rifle and 9mm handgun will be retained.

Safe2Ditch Technology

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, which is cost-prohibitive for large scale commercial applications and limits the use of these vehicles to line-of-site (LOS) operation.

Sailing to the Moon In Search of Water

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. NASA Ames LCROSS crashed a probe in the moon's south pole and detected water vapor.

SmartScope: Real-Time Probability-Based Shooting Assistant

In precision shooting, a myriad of factors influences the outcome of a shot. Traditionally, shooters rely on manual adjustments, experience, and intuition to account for variables such as distance, wind, and angle. Smart Scope revolutionizes this process by integrating advanced sensors, real-time data processing, and machine learning to provide shooters with a dynamic probability of hitting their target,

Solid Hybrid Motor

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, this combination has a very high density Isp making it possible to reduce the size of a known total impuilse by ½.

SPACE FINS II: Swimming to Mars

Astronauts in weightlessness, inside of a large pressurized habitat, can be self-propelled through the cabin air WITHOUT pushing off against any object. A slipper-like variant of swimfins displaces cabin air to push them forward on their own power (CTF 2023 Holmin).

Prototype has flexible plastic core sheet adhered to rubber soles of strap sandle foot-holders,

Star Power Aircraft

Aircraft, one of the biggest carbon dioxide producers worldwide, do not have a viable alternative. Electric aircraft are slow and extremely short range. Hydrogen powered aircraft have a more normal range but require specialized equipment while still remaining slow and expensive. Synthetic aviation biofuels do exist but are significantly more expensive that fossil fuels.
