Nanoenergetic Multi-Thruster Cartridges for Scalable Space Propulsion

Nanoenergetic propellants offer superior energy density per unit mass, resulting in higher specific impulse compared to conventional solid propellants. This efficiency enables the use of smaller amounts of propellant to achieve the same change in momentum, making these materials ideal for space propulsion and orbital maneuvering. In addition to their exceptional gravimetric energy density,

3-D’s Multilayered Grey Water Filtration Membrane

Our idea is to develop a multi-layered filtration membrane for purifying, deodorizing, decolorizing, disinfecting the grey water. Administrate UV treatment for photocatalytic degradation and deactivation of hazardous chemicals of the grey water.

The grey water first passes through the polyolefin membrane, then the multi layered membrane that consists of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET), chitosan, polyurethane cyclodextrin.

A Better Way to Power Military Platforms Without Diesel

I am working on identifying technologies that can power military combat platforms in austere environments. With NATO announcing that it will be net zero emissions by 2050, there is a scramble to find technologies that can replace fossil fuels for operational platforms. There are currently no mature technologies that can meet operational requirements. This includes batteries,

A Folding Propeller Coupled Turbojet System for Supersonic Aircraft Propulsion

SUPERSONIC AIRCRAFT PROPULSION PROBLEM

A major challenge confronting the development of supersonic passenger aircraft is the need for a propulsion system which can: 

meet the current stringent stage 5 noise requirements during takeoff and landing;

operate efficiently at subsonic and supersonic speeds.

THE PROPOSED PROPULSION SYSTEM

A Novel Multi-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission with Superior Fuel Economy and Acceleration Performance

As road transportation contributes 17% of global CO₂ emissions, the shift toward electrified powertrains has accelerated. While electric vehicles still face challenges like limited infrastructure, range anxiety, and battery-related concerns, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in HEVs, which offer a balance between lower emissions, range, and cost,

A Propellantless Thruster Based on Lenz's Law

The EM Sektet Thruster is a novel propellantless electromechanical propulsion system that generates net thrust by exploiting the principles of electromagnetic induction—specifically Lenz’s Law—in a way that transfers momentum internally within the system. Unlike conventional propulsion systems, which require the ejection of mass (propellant) to generate thrust in accordance with Newton’s Third Law,

A Triple-Layer Battery Resistant to Fire and Explosion

Conventional solid polymer electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries often perform poorly due to structural limitations, particularly poor contact with electrodes, and they fail to prevent the growth of lithium dendrites—needle-like structures that form during charging cycles and can cause short circuits, fires, or explosions.

To address these issues,

AEROLEAF AIRGRID: Adaptive Urban Environmental Mesh

Technical Abstract:

Problem Statement:

Modern urban infrastructure is fragmented in addressing energy production, air quality, and thermal regulation. Current systems operate independently, creating inefficiencies:

Solar panels generate energy but lack air purification or heat reduction.

Green roofs require high maintenance, irrigation, and structural support for limited cooling.
