MIL (Check Engine Light) Strategy Change

The 'Check Engine Light,' or MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), illuminates (sometimes flashes with potential fire hazard) on the instrument cluster (IPC) as a very important standard feature for emission control/powertrain performance warning on cars and trucks, since around 1980. However, once the light is triggered it stays ON for a set period of time/ ignition cycles,

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.

Night Vision Assist System

Introduction

Driving in mountainous regions at night is challenging and dangerous due to low visibility and unpredictable conditions. Some existing night vision technologies, such as thermal imaging cameras, are integrated vehicles to detect heat signals from pedestrians, animals, and other obstacles to avoid collision. Additionally,

No Oil Pressure Crankshaft

This idea is developed to reduce internal combustion engines' mechanical friction loss by distinctive crankshaft oil hole layout. In order to ensure adequate oil transport, from main bearing shell oil groove to connecting rod bearing via oil holes made inside crankshaft, some certain oil pressure is required to cope with centrifugal force acting on oil inside crankshaft.

No Wear Fluid-friction Clutch

A clutch that controls the amount of torque communicated between two rotating members by regulating the flow of a constant volume of fluid contained within the clutch. The clutch is fully engaged when a valve prevents the flow of fluid. In that state the components of the clutch are locked together. The torque is controlled by opening the valve.
