Walking Mechanical Mule
The Walking Mechanical Mule is a very simple, purely mechanical walking platform. It is based on a special form of unique "7 link mechanism." It is actuated by a simple rotating crank and it has NO additional controls!
The problem as everyone knows is the longer you are in a zero-g environment the more your bones waste away and your muscles become less efficient.
Screening of passengers before aircraft boarding incurs delays, expense and yields imperfect results. The system I propose makes use of several preinstalled, state-of-the art subsystems to regain control of the aircraft after hijacking.
It can be applied to the entire range of acceleration voltages. The main characteristic of the new gun is that the control and stabilization of the welding current is obtained by connecting the controlling electrode to a positive potential with reference to the cathode.
Nowadays astronaut's health in space depends on many factors. Two of them physical activity and gravitational force. My idea to use simple training tool (picture 1).
Tool consists of three main parts:
1) one (or two) wheel bicycle.
2) frame
3) shaft.
It will be very difficult to communicate with aliens: we will have so little in common. We need practice; otherwise, first contact could go terribly wrong. It would be a good idea, then,
The AVHIRAL consists of computer system hardware, containing a protected memory, and a network firewall.
- 1) The usefulness of Avhiral is a way to have a UTM at a relatively lower than conventional systems dedicated to a public career.
- 2) The use of Avhiral,
In this time of inflation and space crisis in the manufacturing and construction industry, there is a tool that could do much more than its operation. There are tools available in the market similar with multiple functionality,
TRANSPORTING without ACCIDENTS or ENERGY for a few percent of today’s cost is not a structural, technological, or financial problem. Something that could have been crudely achieved without most in the late 1800’s in the ability to produce a 15’ dia.
