The Innovation

Last-mile mobility remains fragmented and inconvenient. Bulky scooters and e-bikes are difficult to carry on public transit or store securely. AetherShell solves this with a transformative foldable electric vehicle that packs into a rigid carbon-fiber backpack pod and deploys into a full scooter in under five seconds.

The Innovation IsoFrame Universal E-Bike Conversion Kit — 5-Minute Smart Hub & Mid-Drive System

Most people want the benefits of an electric bike but don’t want to buy a whole new $2,000–$5,000 machine. Existing conversion kits are heavy, complicated to install, poorly integrated, and lack intelligence. IsoFrame changes that with a universal,

Someone dies in a road accident in India roughly every three minutes. Per India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, overspeeding alone is linked to 71% of those fatalities — the single largest identifiable cause, ahead of all other violations combined. Separately, IIHS/NHTSA studies of 98 million vehicles show automatic emergency braking cuts rear-end crashes roughly in half.

Light electric quadricycles the EU's L6e/L7e class of compact four-wheeled urban electric vehicles are rapidly growing in European cities as affordable, low-footprint alternatives to conventional cars. However, strict cost, size, and weight limitations prevent many of these vehicles from integrating Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS),commonly found in full-size vehicles. As a result,

Burt Rutan, founder of Scaled Composites, gave a talk discussing aircraft designs he would like to see constructed, tested, and improved. The model 382-4 as he described weighed roughly 1,400 pounds. Using AI, OpenVSP,

In a rear impact, the seatback of many automobile seats is designed to plastically deform or “yield” to absorb energy from the crash to protect the occupant. This yielding provides ride-down of the impact's acceleration as opposed to transferring all energy into the occupant, which is particularly important for out-of-position occupants.

Every day, millions of gig-economy riders across India and other emerging markets deliver food, groceries, and parcels on vehicles never designed for the job. Petrol two-wheelers are costly to run and polluting. Consumer e-cycles pressed into ten-hour daily commercial duty fail within months: motors drown in monsoon flooding, plastic gears strip under cargo loads,

In the present work, a new design of magnetorheological (MR) drum brake for two-wheeler is presented, which can be operated in hybrid mode i.e. compression and shear modes, unlike the conventional one, which only operates in single mode. The presented MR brake has a rotating drum (rotor) and stationary concave plates (stator).

Chest Injury Severity measures on a Dummy were reduced by more than one half with this invention. It has the potential to save over half of highway fatalities and serious injuries. In effect, the Invention is an artificial Crumple Zone.

By accelerating a vehicle occupant rearward just milliseconds BEFORE the impact we slow the Occupants over-the-ground speed.
