Safe-D: Safe Following Distance Indicator to Prevent Rear-end Accidents

Rear-end collisions account for 33% of accidents on U.S. roads. This class of accident accounts for 44% of fatalities (50,000 deaths per year).

Detailed analysis of rear-end collision accident reports showed that the majority of rear-end collisions occur on straight highways, in good weather conditions, good road conditions, and during daylight hours. Further, new old,

AVL Racetech I.C.E. and On-board H2 Generation via Solute ION Monopole Motor (SIMM) Generator and Electrolyzer

AVL Racetech of Graz, Austria on October 11, 2023 announced proof of concept of their 430 HP 2-liter Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine

While this is an extraordinary accomplishment, well deserving of international recognition, extending to the ordinary automotive sector raises the same issues as electric vehicles: lack of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and range anxiety.

Hybrid Transmission System for Blending Torque and Power Efficiency Between Engines & Final Transmission Shaft

The innovation introduces a Hybrid Transmission System (the System).

Unlike other mild hybrid configurations, which only enable the administration of TORQUE available from the hybrid set (e.g., internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machine (EM)), this new mechanism allows TORQUE and RPM to be managed, locating the performance of the hybrid set in it’s optimum. In so doing,

Modified Hovercraft and Small Automobile

Large trucks produce excessive greenhouse gasses due to inefficient reciprocating engines and complicated gearboxes. This hovercraft would be much better because it eliminates friction with the road surface due to flexing tyres and suspension. It can also run on alcohol, a non fossil fuel, which can be produced from corn.

Bio Mimetic Surface Finish for Friction Drag Reduction

The observed birds gliding flight performance studies indicate that their aerodynamic drag is lower than expected for their flight regime [1], and the best “sailing” birds (condor, vulture, albatross, etc.), have black feathers, a quite unattractive matting attribute...

Also, birds contour feathers barbs and barbules are covered by a nano- scale smooth layer of beta keratin,

Real-Time Non-Surfactant Emulsion Fuel Supply System

Diesel engines are widely used in heavy-duty road vehicles, marine vessels and power generation, while burners are used in various factories as a heat source. Emulsion fuel is one of promising alternative fuel for Diesel engines that can reduce fuel consumption and emissions. However, in order to stabilise the fuel, it require additive known as surfactant.

Automated Lighted Crosswalk: Enhancing Pedestrian Safety and Accessibility

Problem Addressed: Traditional crosswalks often lack adequate visibility, especially at night or during low-light conditions. Furthermore, push-button activation systems can be missed by pedestrians, particularly those with visual impairments or mobility limitations. These limitations contribute significantly to pedestrian safety concerns.
