Conventional exoskeletons are powered by a system of motion sensors and hydraulics, various problems like:
1. Very high cost of these parts result in high maintenance and electric power supply and these issues are still to be resolved.
A design concept for a trackless multi-dimensional ride vehicle. Using four independently controlled wheels this system will be able to simulate a vehicle out of control all while being in complete control of the system.This is accomplished by a base that can move in any direction and rotate.
My idea concentrates of how to take advantage of the front area of the car already exposed to the air resistance to convert from the negative energy into positive energy.
A heavy lifting rocket launcher using a 10,000' vertical shaft and a water reservoir.
The Kidd Creek mine in Ontario, Canada has reached a depth of about 10,000'. It is an active mine with about 10 to 20 years of life left.
Autonomous Quadcopter Launch and Retrieval System
Quadcopter drone technology exists that is capable of performing many tasks to assist people in everyday life.
Automated Highway System with private cars driven automatically through guided pathway has a clear benefit of offering convenience, reducing door-to-door transit times and better utilization of the transportation system. Also with the precision of automation,
DASY X-ENGINE - the best engine configuration for 4-stroke diesel.
Double-Acting Scotch Yoke X-Engine (“DASY X-Engine”) - a new engine configuration for practical applications including stationary power, marine, locomotives, aircraft (planes and helicopters) and automotive (sports cars, luxury cars, trucks).
