Dual Adaptive Propeller System

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,

Photon-Assisted Room Temperature Superconductors

Superconductivity, a quantum phenomenon allowing electrical current to flow with zero resistance, is traditionally achievable only at cryogenic temperatures. At its core lies the formation of Cooper pairs—bound pairs of electrons mediated by phonon-electron interactions. This proposal explores a novel concept: utilizing precisely tuned photons (light) to modulate phonon dynamics,

Trifecta Energy Harvesting System

Overview

Introducing the Trifecta Energy Harvesting System: a patent-pending, fully additively manufactured platform revolutionizing energy capture by efficiently collecting electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical energy within a single, flexible printed architecture. By seamlessly combining these functions into a thin, conformal structure, the system replaces separate, bulky energy harvesters,

Integrated Solar Thermal Collector and Storage System for Agro-Industrial Applications

Governments worldwide are increasingly prioritizing the use of renewable energy due to environmental concerns, the finite nature of fossil fuel reserves, and their rising costs. Although various innovative solar thermal systems have been proposed in the literature, most are typically bulky and require a separate thermal energy storage unit.

Radial to Radial Pump

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?

Ferrocement Adaptive Optic Heliostat

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,

EnergX: Dual-Axial Generator System Harnessing Vehicle-Induced Underbody Airflow to Eliminate Engine Parasitic Losses and Achieve 18% Fuel Efficiency in Heavy-Duty Trucks

India’s haulage sector, with over 2.5 million heavy-duty trucks (above 18.5 t GVW) currently in operation, faces growing pressure to reduce fuel costs, meet tightening emission norms, and improve operational profitability. Fuel accounts for nearly 50% of a fleet’s operating expenses, and as fuel prices and ESG expectations rise, the need for intelligent efficiency upgrades has never been greater.
