The electric solar wind sail Page Views: 152 Machinery/Equipment
Pekka Janhunen, Helsinki, NA FI Votes: 8 10/14/2008

The electric solar wind sail, or electric sail for short, is a new, revolutionary method for moving in deep space. The electric sail promises to solve a long-standing problem how to move about in the solar system without consuming much rocket fuel. The electric sail was invented in Finland in 2006 as a byproduct of basic research of space plasma physics, and is now being pursued by an international team consisting of different groups mainly in Europe. The electric sail consists of

FCHTMC conversion of any vehicle to multi-fuel/Solar powered vehicles Page Views: 353 Transportation
Wayne Pickette, Champaign, IL US Votes: 18 09/26/2008

Coverts any vehicle to electric power whether on solar energy or any fuel energy. The device reduces the weight of the vehicle while also reducing the complexity of the vehicle power system. The device quadruples to sextuples fuel efficiency through more efficient operation and reduced energy loss. The device increases reliability through adverse conditions and allowing vehicles to travel in water up the top of the wheel-wells without any danger of stalling. If on solar energy the water

Solar-assisted Light-weight Individual Pedal Powered Electric-assist Recumbent Page Views: 339 Transportation
Neil Somos, Brecksville, OH US Votes: 3 09/22/2008

Hybrid electric vehicles are often expensive and still use fossil fuels. Eventually there will be no choice but to turn away from fossil fuels in any case. Pure electric vehicles may leave you stranded if you try to go beyond their range. Increasing the battery capacity, also increases the weight, and power requirements. Most trips are still with one person per vehicle and in general we exercise too little and infrequently if at all. Grid

Grail Pneumatic Two-Stroke Engine Page Views: 15,544 Transportation
Matthew Riley, Wichita, KS US Votes: 6 09/10/2008

White Paper Grail Pneumatic Two-Stroke Engine This is a proposed clean emissions pneumatic two-stroke engine that does not have normal Two-Stroke cross contamination of oil and fuel (oil and fuel are not mixed). Intake occurs when piston moves up by creating a vacuum under Piston Check Valve (6) (closed) and Piston (8) within the Engine Crankcase (16), (One-way) Intake Reed Valve & Throttle Plate (9) (IRVTP 9 opens) allow outside ambient air to enter Engine Crankcase (16). Simultaneously

Michael Adams, Asheville, NC US Votes: 11 08/19/2008

The Moog Guitar brings five important sonic attributes to the 'finger tips' of the guitarist: 1. Infinite, powerful, and controllable sustain on every string at every fret position. 2. Rich, sweet and clean harmonics shifting and evolving under your control. 3. Controlled sustain - sustains the notes you want to sustain and mutes the strings you want muted. No special playing technique is needed. Plays smooth and easy. 4. Powerful and instant muting of the strings opens up a whole new

Improved Helicopter Configuration Page Views: 525 Transportation
Dale Gibby, Columbus, IN US Votes: 7 07/17/2008

Improved Helicopter Configuration Dale Gibby 3/18/2008 This is a proposal for an improved helicopter configuration. This helicopter is safer than a conventional helicopter due to its simplicity and independent redundancy for critical failure modes. It is less expensive than a conventional helicopter due to elimination of collective and cyclic pitch mechanisms, rotor flap mechanisms, gearboxes and long drive shafts. It is faster than conventional helicopters due to elimination of asymmetrical lift during high-speed flight. This helicopter has three
