Compressed-Air Hybrid Regenerative System for Lightweight Vehicles

Executive Summary:

This proposal introduces a groundbreaking, low-cost, and sustainable alternative to conventional electric hybrid systems. By using compressed air instead of batteries, this regenerative system drastically reduces complexity and environmental impact. A reversible piston unit stores braking energy as compressed air and reuses it to assist vehicle startup. It is a recyclable,

Opposed Piston Facing Heads Internal Combustion Engine, Compact Design

This innovation addresses a key limitation in Opposed Piston Internal Combustion Engines (OP-ICE) by introducing a compact architecture where two pistons operate in a shared cylinder with facing heads. The design offers substantial improvements in size, performance, and volumetric self-sufficiency compared to existing OP engines.

Compact size:

This architecture reduces the engine block width by 30%,

Road Traffic Light in New Configuration

The three-color system containing signals of the same circular shape has been in existence for over a hundred years. Each traffic signal has been justifiably selected to have a special color light to correspond to human psycho-emotional reaction (red – stop, yellow – caution, green – go) to a given color signal.

Laser Based Weed Removal System Using Object Detection

Weeds are unwanted plants that grow in fields alongside crops. They compete with crops for sunlight, water, and nutrients, which reduces the overall crop yield and increases farming costs. Traditionally, farmers remove weeds either manually by pulling them out or by using chemical herbicides. Manual removal is very hard and time-consuming, while chemical herbicides can harm the soil,

High Efficiency Internal Combustion Engine Adapter

Internal combustion engines operate with fuel, ignition and air to generate energy by igniting the fuel to create high cylinder pressures. The more efficient that the ignition is, the more power that the engine creates for a given size of engine.

Air that internal combustion engines “breathes” is a mixture of approximately 80/20 nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen per se,
