The main obstacle in the development of hybrid vehicles is economic: fuel savings pain to compensate for additional investment costs. A new hybrid series-parallel architecture should improve this situation, by lowering the power of the electrical equipment, thus their costs and by reducing the energy conversions,
The primary goal of the UMCAV is to provide a platform that can be adapted for multiple purposes using modular frames and parts, requiring little effort to switch between variations. While any system will have its pros and cons,
The presented idea is a full mechanical, magnetic and electrical design of an in-wheel brushless DC outer rotor (hub) motor. The rim of any wheel would serve as the rotor, after some modifications, for the motor. Varying rims sizes yields varying power throughput.
Mississippi to Colorado River Waterway
Provide a waterway from the Mississippi River basin to the Colorado River basin. This preliminary plan shows the waterway starting at Greenville, Mississippi and ending at Navajo Reservoir in New Mexico. The goal was to minimize rise of the waterway to reduce pumping costs.
In this life, rubbish is a problem that often arises in daily life which can lead to in terms of both health and natural balance. Problems arising in this,
Millions of people live in tents, some in disaster areas, and others in countries less fortunate, most don't have a choice. Disaster relief is a multi-billion dollar industry. After a 2 hour setup the HITH unit is ready for a Cat. 5 hurricane. Made from aluminum,
Amphibious Paddle Boat
This human powered amphibious paddle boat is a water-to-land vehicle that can be used on water as well as on all ground surfaces, including grass, boat slips and sandy beach fronts.
Wing sails generate greater power and provide easier control than any other type of sail in existence and are getting into wider use where their current designs are applicable – especially in sailboat races. With their higher efficiency and better handling in harnessing available wind for propulsion,
In process control and industrial automation the electronics are built into panels. For safety reasons these panels must be closed in order to operate.
Utilize RTGs (Radioisotopic Thermal Generators) to generate 35-75 KWe during emergencies, for sustaining our critical infrastructure.
Heat from the RTGs would either generate electricity using thermocouples or using heat exchangers to generate a simple steam cycle turbine generator.
The advantages include: Small relative sizes, ease of mobility,
