THE PROBLEM:
Inefficient capture, storage, and use of a vehicle’s kinetic energy (KE).
Specific issues include:
A. CAPTURING & STORING A VEHICLE'S KINETIC ENERGY:
Vehicles that experience frequent stop-and-start conditions have massive kinetic energy losses.
B.
Background:
Passenger vehicles are the main energy consumer and major contributor of ever-increasing hazardous emissions. Transportation professionals have raised the idea of applying the green concept in various areas of transportation, including green highways, green vehicles and transit-oriented designs, to tackle the negative impact of road transportation.
Utilizing current LED monitor technology, incorporate it into both fabric and complex surfaces, combined with data processing of video imaging. The purpose of this is to project an image on both clothing and surfaces of objects replicating the background of an identified viewer.
For example,
The Kitchen Appliance Recovered Energy System (KARES) consists of a Thermal Synergy Battery, Thermal Microgrid and an integrated system of modular components and appliances that recover, store and reuse thermal energy.
Innovative concepts in lightweight engineering for automotive and aerospace applications increasingly trust in Multi-Material-Design. Additionally metal-plastic-combinations are often used in white or brown goods as well as within the furniture industry or in novel architecture concepts.
Transplantable unions of living cells and electronic circuits interfaced with body parts, will be used to test, measure, monitor, control, repair, replace, or assist the functioality of body parts.
Ordinary cells and stem cells are deposited upon, grown, attached to, united, and coupled with non-rejectable electronic circuits, sensors,
SHUTTLE 2-The multibody spaceplane aircraft technology possibilities
Following recent advances in aircraft design, a possible optimal solution for a spaceplan, to carry a payload in orbit could be a multibody vehicle, having the advantages of both the SSTO and the TSTO.
The mainly new design mechanism consists of with an air intake tubular set and exhaust tubular set. both sets are with an inner tube that is driven by the crankshaft though the driving chain at 1:2 ratio.
