The Problem: The technology to do the above already exists, but all the components of the system have to be utterly safe and reliable. One of the critical components in such a system is the servo-actuator that operates the controls of the vehicle, unmanned or not. Currently,
Tens of thousands of people die each year in automobile crashes and accidents are counted in the millions. Anytime a driver takes their hands off the wheel and eyes off the road, they introduce the risk of something occurring that they can’t prevent.
The separation of flow over a body such as an aircraft wing can cause substantial loss of lift and reduction in the overall fuel efficiency of the aircraft. Delaying or elimination of the separation of flow can help in decreasing fuel consumption and decreasing emissions,
Macjames Multisurface Degreaser/Cleaner detergent is an emulsifying non-solvent and non-acidic based degreasing foaming surfactant cleaner. It emulsifies grease, oil, rust and heavy dirt and cleanses them from surfaces (metal, plastic,wood,concrete, or rubber) without deforming them (substrates). It was researched, developed and manufactured because acidic, petroleum distillates,
A thermal plasma technology capable of instantaneously dissociating large carbon containing molecules directly into a mixture of ionized particles can generate energy from gases attributed to the greenhouse effect.
About 95% of the hydrogen produced today from natural gas using steam-methane reforming,
As urban density increases, traffic is becoming a problem that requires new and innovative solutions. Adding additional lanes is not sustainable in most cities as spare real estate becomes impossible to find. The Superway is a public transportation system that aims to allow personalized,
We are a medical device start up called Exo Dynamics. Our first product is based on Daniel Johnson PhD work. Exo Dynamics currently has an option agreement with the University of Michigan to use the IP for further busines development.
Innovation
Introducing a design concept that integrates wind turbines and the charging system of an electric car to extend its operating range.
Manufacturability
All materials required for this function exist. Car designers have great latitude in placement of wind turbines and vehicle contour.
INNOVATION
Purpose: To provide a more comfortable ergonomic charter for scheduled routes for short and medium distances.
Audace’s bold external features include new windshields, LED turn signals, and clearance lights. Bonded glass panes provide extended visibility in the windshields, head lights, and tail lights.
The goal of this project is to build and test a kite powered electrical generator. Kites are being deployed successfully for powering large ships weighing 440 tons over long haul distances of nearly 12,000 miles.
