Gas Turbine/Compressed Air Hybrid Drivetrain

My Idea is for an air-powered hybrid transportation drivetrain utilizing a small diesel powered gas-turbine engine to compress air and provide range-extension. the gas turbine should be sized to provide a real-time air supply to a reciprocating piston air engine, actuated by air-powered rotary valves.

When vehicle idles down, stops or brakes,

Car Bidet ® Car Bottom Washer

PROBLEM:

Salt and other chemicals rust undercarriage components. Car-bottom rust is dangerous and expensive. The undercarriage is vulnerable to damage due to lack of care. Salt and mud damage is a safety issue -- many undercarriage components cannot be rustproofed. The greatest need for non-collision car repair results from preventable undercarriage rust.

Engine for Low Cost, Door-To-Door, Personal Air Mobility…TODAY!

Overview

NFTG is developing a simple, low cost, ultra-quiet, personal air vehicle, capable of rapid door-to-door mobility without requiring any operator license. [See my PersonalJet© submission]

It will be powered by one of our simple, low cost, maximally-efficient, zero-pollution rotary engine.

Background

Current modes of transportation are slow, tedious and costly, using failing infrastructures.

HexaRev: Redefining the Future of Driver-in-the-Loop Simulation

The HexaRev from VI-grade is a next-generation Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) motion simulator that addresses a critical bottleneck in automotive development: the ability to accurately and safely evaluate vehicle behavior in highly dynamic scenarios—without reliance on physical prototypes. Traditional simulation platforms often struggle with realism, limited motion envelopes, and mechanical inefficiencies.

William Landings HWDS

The HWDS is an innovative, autonomous ground-based (and future airborne) system designed to assist aircraft during emergency landings caused by landing gear failure. This mobile unit features a hydraulic wheel platform equipped with advanced cushioning—combining inflatable airbag-like structures and non-Newtonian materials—for shock absorption upon contact. Integrated robotic arms securely attach to the fuselage or gear assembly,

Valkyria Mcycle

The MCYCLE is an innovative, enclosed two-wheeled vehicle that redefines personal mobility by combining the agility of a motorcycle with the safety and resilience of an fire, and environmental wear. This combination delivers cybertruck-grade protection in a smaller, more agile package — without infringing on existing patents.

To maintain balance and rideability,

Anti Crash Assist System

In India's congested urban environments, motorcycles frequently encounter unpredictable obstacles such as pedestrians, stray animals, rickshaws, and sudden vehicle maneuvers—especially in narrow lanes and crowded markets. Traditional braking systems rely solely on rider reflexes, which are often not fast enough to avoid collisions. Sudden braking can lead to skidding, imbalance, and even fatal crashes,

Electric Vehicle Charging Utilizing Spinning Tires

The idea is to have magnets attached to the tire frames and metal (copper) wiring running though the axles. When driving, the electricity is generated from the spinning tires and sent to the battery. By doing so, the car battery is continuously charged while the car is running and significantly longer driving distance can be achieved.

Easy Maintenance Design for Vehicles

The idea is to have pipelines running along the chassis of a vehicles. One end of the pipeline is connected to the drain holes of the engine, etc. The other end of the pipeline is attached to valves. The valves and the outlets of the pipelines are located along the perimeter of the vehicles. By doing so,
