Today’s challenge in robotics is the same that it has always been: to apply original technology to a task. With more than two million of such machines in use worldwide, can a single innovative American design mean that significant expansion will be forthcoming?
Who do you know that would like a safer, faster, more fuel efficient airliner that could carry more at lower costs, take off at less than 100 mph yet travel near Mach 1 with minimal drag penalty? This design has already been proven in NASA, hypersonic testing.
Energy recovery thru the displacement of a coil and or magnet by up/down or sideway motion. Vehicle motion occurs naturally especially on rough roads and on curves.
Base Re-Alignment and Closure (BRAC) has closed many military bases that have Health Care facilities that can remain opened and assist with the local communities for which the BRAC has effected.
The low-income persons needing Medical/Dental/Special health needs can obtain these from trained military personnel. In turn,
