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.

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.

FAIR (Fuel Air Injection Rotary) Engine

FAIR engine replaces the air compression section of a Wankel rotary engine with a secondary combustion chamber; it executes two combustion cycles per shaft revolution. FAIR engine injects Oxygen Enriched Compressed Air (OECA) to accelerate the chemical reaction for thorough and clean combustion, it reduces NOX, HC, CO, etc. emissions.

Free Valve Valvetrain

The challenge:

Renewable fuel based on alcohols, like Methanol, Ethanol and Butanol, show great advantages not only in CO₂ reduction, but also in the engine’s efficiency and its maximum performance. They are however more difficult to vaporize than gasoline, which means difficulties at start up and in general when it is cold.

FSHEV

Transportation vehicles of all kinds can have all electric drive trains before sufficient electricity production and distribution grids can be brought online by using FSHEV (Full Series Hybrid Electric Vehicles).

These vehicles will have a Droplet Rotary Internal Combustion Engine (DRICE) driving an Electric Motor/Generator that charges the batteries while an all electric drive train moves the vehicle.

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,

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.
