Reconfigurable Transport Vehicle with Structural Cabin Merging and Coordinated Multi-Unit Kinematic Control

A reconfigurable transport vehicle and method are presented, wherein multiple independently operable vehicles are selectively coupled to form a structurally integrated multi-unit assembly. Each vehicle includes a passenger cabin defined by structural side panels incorporating retractable partitions. Upon mechanical coupling of adjacent vehicles, the partitions are configured to retract into the vehicle body, thereby forming a continuous,

Rethinking EV efficiency: A 1,500 lb Energy-Harvesting Platform

I am currently developing a next-generation electric vehicle platform that solves the biggest pain points in the current EV market: excessive weight, prohibitive battery costs, and range limitations.

While the industry is currently focused on building heavier, more expensive vehicles, my approach is fundamentally different. I am engineering an ultra-lightweight (1,500–1,600 lbs),

RoadConvention 3D: Visual Integration with Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems and Automotive AI

Modern automotive engineering stands at the intersection of traditional mechanical precision and digital intelligence. Today, it is one of the most fertile industries for the implementation of artificial intelligence. Across the world, vehicles increasingly operate on public roads without human input—and sometimes without human presence, especially in the context of autonomous taxi services.

However,

SafeCool VentGuard

The SafeCool VentGuard addresses the deadly problem of extreme cabin overheating in parked vehicles. In hot climates like the Philippines, interiors can reach 60-70°C in under 30 minutes, risking heatstroke deaths (hundreds of children/pets yearly worldwide, many more unreported in tropics), damaging electronics/interiors, and forcing heavy AC use on restart (wasting 20-40% fuel/EV range and adding emissions).
