Developed with Haiti in mind. The idea is to greatly reduce costs but most importantly, reduce time to implement.
The technology is a hybrid between cement block construction and SIP technology (Structural Insulated Panels).
The idea of this design goes back many years. To design a very compact plane, with enough space to carry 4 people in comfort. In the initial model I built CG problems occurred, which led me to a different "double wing" design featured here. The initial model, a glider,
The Solo/ UCV is a high performance, single seat Urban Commuter Vehicle designed to offer new ideas in personal transportation. It is the product of the principals’ 70+ years experience in the motorsports, aircraft and composite materials industries. The Solo is ultra-light,
When a home owner installs a Photo-Voltaic (PV) system to generate renewable solar power, he/she must sign a contract with the power provider. In addition,
The Problem
Friction is the world's single biggest waste of energy. New polymeric and nano-composite bearing material “recipes” promise substantial friction reducing solutions. However, their development and application are often hindered by current tribological (the study of lubrication, friction and wear) test systems,
The Mini Infuser™ is a miniature, disposable, programmable drug delivery device designed to significantly lower the cost of patient care while improving a patients lifestyle with increased pharmacological safety, patient mobility and fewer needle sticks.
WHAT PROBLEMS DOES YOUR DESIGN IDEA SOLVE
The prototype should act as a vest personal lifeboat JCB in all kinds of shipwrecks. It consists of several protective layers of plastic or extremely strong polymers, the penultimate formed by a medieval mesh, to protect against shark attacks in particular.
A whole new generation of purely electric vehicles and "Plug-in" hybrids will soon be commercially available and attention has to be given to creating the infrastructure required to keep the batteries of these vehicles fully charged during their urban commutes.
