Debris in orbit is a growing problem. Moving at roughly Mach 25, even a loose screw can inflict catastrophic damage if it collides with a small satellite, creating more debris that can impact other spacecraft. Efforts to deal with this have treated debris as trash,
The presented engine design with an external piston combines the advantages of a classic engine with a gas turbine, i.e. high efficiency, low weight and small dimensions. It is a multi-fuel engine and it allows the use of high pressure compressed gases.
A concept has been developed for the year 2050 that shows the possibility of people connecting to each other through means of transport that is a shared mobility.
Too often during the puttying process one has to climb a 10' ladder with the putty bucket or the competition putty board/pan in one hand and the putty knife in the other, only to find that while on top of said ladder,
The presented concept of an inertial drive, a spaceship-robot, enables the development of backlight speeds and very high accelerations and, which is very important, also delays, i.e. the practical braking of the ship when approaching the planet. Currently, the recoil force is used to propel spacecraft,
Flight delays and cancellations due to weather, cost commercial aviation dearly. Landing is the most safety critical part of flight. Landing in low visibility conditions, characterized as Cat II & III in aviation terminology, requires a very elaborate set of facilities and lots of real estate.
The reactionless drive is supposed to be impossible. Until now it has been science fiction. While NASA has tried to measure thrust using their version of an electromagnetic engine even their device requires intricate measuring devices to reach conclusions as to whether it functions. Our reactionless drive is different.
The prime deficiency of a pneumatic tire is its dependence on air. A tire that has lost enough pressure to become distorted affects fuel efficiency and the stability of the vehicle. A flat tire can damage the wheel and possibly the vehicle,
We propose to create a smart sensor hub for controlling a living room, equipped with a set of various sensors: lighting (all wavelengths in the form of a mini spectrometer), temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, dust microparticles level, carbon dioxide level, radiation level, infrared receiver and transmitter, digital microphone,
