Energy, Power & Propulsion
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,
The BioCatamaran is an innovative and environmentally eco-friendly watercraft designed specifically to blend harmoniously into nature, making it ideal for sustainable tourism, especially within national parks and protected areas such as lakes, glaciers, mountains, and wildlife observation regions. Unlike conventional vessels, it is uniquely engineered to minimize ecological disturbance and noise pollution,
This study presents a groundbreaking Dual Adaptive Propeller System designed to overcome the inherent limitations of current propulsion technologies in UAM and VTOL applications through innovative thrust modulation and aerodynamic control mechanisms.
As urban air mobility (UAM) and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) systems evolve, propulsion technologies must adapt to the demands of compact designs, agile maneuverability,
The Air Motor, whose main component is the Aerodynamic Airfoil Turbine, is the first machine capable of generating mechanical energy from the thermal energy of the environment in a self-sustained movement, which means energy efficiency over 100%. This power generation doesn’t produce any environmental pollution and doesn’t use fossil fuels at all,
On paper, power towers look great. So why are they shutting down?
One reason is current solar power tower heliostat fields are limited to 1500°F maximum because of flat heliostats. This new adaptive optic heliostat innovation creates higher temperatures 2500°F, which now allows for greater industrial applications, such as using the sun to manufacture cement, steel, fuel,
This work presents a contactless magnetic propulsion and braking system tailored for energy-efficient ground transportation, particularly Hyperloop systems. Traditional mechanical propulsion systems suffer from significant wear and energy loss due to friction. In contrast,
The proposed development will allow to increase the efficiency of using energy of compressed air in piston motors for generating energy to move a vehicle or a stationary engine (with daily fluctuations in electricity consumption). The considered technical solution will contribute to improving the environmental and techno-economic indicators of piston motors when using compressed air in them.
This invention consists of a multifunctional integrated solar system that combines four sustainable functions into a single, compact unit: (1) photovoltaic electricity generation, (2) improved SODIS (Solar Water Disinfection) for clean water production, (3) daylight transmission using solar fiber optics, and now (4) thermoelectric generation by harnessing waste heat through a liquid cooling system.
I'm not sure how to classify this unit, however it does pump. The impeller is completely symmetrical in all respects. This pump also works in both directions automatically. I have 3D-printed working models. Could this be a new pump design as I know of three types: axial, semi axial, centrifugal and gear style. Radial to radial?
The XESS BP series of residence and business standby emergency power products store energy from any electric source and return the energy back to electric power when needed. The system is autonomous and comes complete with a leveling base and interconnect power adapter cable.
