The Dual High Efficient Generator has numerous applications from which it can produce electric power and benefits over a traditional generator design. Here’s some examples:
By having an inner & outer Generator, the loads are equally balanced by the two generators, thus minimizing the resistance on the coils &
The IRScan (Isotope Ratio Scan spectrometer )
IRScan is an idea for an affordable and durable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS) that incorporates advanced scanning features, enabling chemists to quickly obtain enhanced information about their samples.
Applications:
Forensics: Investigations of drugs, explosives, and counterfeit materials.
The Hopper VTOL aircraft does not have dangerously exposed rotor blades like helicopters and multi rotor aircraft. This makes the Hopper safe, quiet, and efficient.
First Responders and Troops can relax without worrying about a rotor strike that can cause a loss of control and cause injury or death.
Neurological emergencies are common and often devastating. Every year, millions of Americans suffer from either an acute stroke, a traumatic brain injury (TBI), hemorrhage or spinal cord injury severe enough to require medical intervention.
gBot, the general purpose mobile autonomous vehicle for multiple indoor & outdoor applications. Our first tow package is seeking out and collecting golf balls for driving ranges. Saving a person's time from this activity allows other important tasks.
Our Small USV is an industrial marine drone platform capable of integrating all industry standard sensors. The unit weighs 60lbs and can carry 20lbs of custom payload. The 2.5kW electric motor powering the unit is speedy but can smoothly sustain 4knts when operating sonar.
This invention facilitates the driving experience and has the potential to prevent accidents during the night, as well as to improve mobility on the ground. It makes use of properties of polarized light, considering that it is an electromagnetic wave, produced by vibrating electric charges,
The accumulation of particles, dirt, and grime on the surface of the solar panel degrades the performance of the solar panel in the same way as it does on a cloudy day. This means that solar panels are not being used properly. However, over time,
