A new design for enhanced security and tracking of a modern automobile is presented. The intent of this design is to provide more security and situation awareness to the auto owner/dealer. Use of existing electronics technology to implement this security is explained.
Wheeled vehicles move well only on smooth solid terrain. On soft ground, wheels slip and are bogged down depending on the ground softness, wetness, wheel diameter, etc. They have low efficiency on soft ground, because wheels have higher compactive resistance and low drawbar pull compared with tracked vehicles. Besides,
The system under consideration is intended to replace pepper sprays and tasers that can cause serious injury with a device the size of miniature flashlight whose effectiveness, simplicity and low cost will attract average consumers. Aimed away from the user at assailants, human or canine,
Ring Vortices - . In recent conflicts our military interact with civilians either in battles or violent demonstrations so non-lethal weapons must be reconsidered, after earlier programs were terminated.
Aerodynamic disks accelerate air flow through roof-mounted heat exchangers to enhance operating efficiency of air conditioning units of tall buildings. Conservative estimates based on wind tunnel tests indicate 26% increase in COP (Coefficient of Performance). Project consulting architect calculated the air conditioning requirements for a 200 ft.
Thailand wind characteristic is unstable with minimum speed about 2 m/s and maximum speed about 5 m/s.
At high wind speed, wind turbine blade is sharp and thin. On the other hand, at low wind speed the blade is long and more area.
This proposal relates to a toroidal oscillating engine. Figure 4 describes the constructional arrangement. It has a sector shaped toroidal piston assembled with piston rings and joined to a circular disc/hub which is keyed to a shaft.
The idea aims to generate more lift out of the traditional airfoil arrangement. The airfoil shape will contain a duct as shown in figure. The air inside the duct will again follow an airfoil contour only. Although the air flow to the main contour will get reduced,
Usually only 10-16% of the fuel energy is used to drive the vehicle to overcome the air resistance and air drag. Regenerative shock absorbers have the ability to continuously recover a vehicle's vibration energy that is otherwise dissipated due to road irregularities, vehicles acceleration and braking,
it involves the modeling of a ducted-fan type hover board for defense surveying and commercial purposes. It is a compact aerial vehicle which can fly, hover and propel itself. It also follows a simple design centered on a piston engine as used in a motor bike.
