Ganesh Yelisetty, Upland, CA US Votes: 7 10/23/2008

USA is a melting pot of various cultures. Several languages other than English is spoken / written all over in big cities. This situation is not just in USA, it exists in most developed nations. Regardless of how people think of ‘fast food’ is here to stay. Millions of people have ‘fast food’ everyday. Going through the drive-thru is as normal as breathing. Anybody who has used the drive-thru knows how hard it can get sometimes to

Vehicle simulator with visual and inertial stimulus Page Views: 254 Consumer
Muhammad Umer, islamabad, NA PK Votes: 7 10/17/2008

The world around us is markedly changing as the use of machines is dictating the performance and output of man. Our Vehicle Simulator, in this context, provides the required man-machine interface for proper training and performance evaluation of mankind. Visual Stimulus (3D virtual reality environment like gaming applications) and Inertial Stimulus (platform motion to provide motion cues) induce the required self-motion illusion. The work on virtual environment involves 3D graphics, physics modeling, audio stimulus and

Fail Safe - Dual Band Satellite Digital Audio Receiver (FS-DBSDAR) Page Views: 702 Consumer
Arthur Asuncion, Brea, CA US Votes: 42 10/02/2008

ABSTRACT: On March 24, 2008, the United States Justice Department approved the merger of Sirius and XM. This merger encouraged me to propose a re-design the existing satellite radio technology called Fail Safe Dual Band Satellite Digital Audio Receiver (FS-DBSDAR). The existing design of satellite radios is either Sirius or XM band of operation; not both (Figure 1). When a customer purchases a vehicle, the first choice is to select the brand of vehicle but

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

g- vehicle Page Views: 766 Sustainable Technology
Rahul Raja, kalyan, NA IN Votes: 8 09/24/2008

It is about how effectively one can use the law of perpetual motion. although the picture shows a car , it can also be used as a train if the ratio and proportion of the track and the vehicle is changed. It basically works like this: the vehicle starts moving from a top most point (station). it continues to move in a steep-slope fashion, thus gaining speed as it goes down and using this gained

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

AEFP-Automatic expansion Fluid Packs-Exterior Fluid Bags Page Views: 307 Safety and Security
Mitran Ashok, CHENNAI, NA IN Votes: 7 09/12/2008

Working of the design: This is how a car equipped with my design will ease threw a, could have been mishap- a dirty, devastating accident. The car is fitted with a sensor on the four sides, along with a real time, permanent, speed tracker, which tracks and stores the normal speed of a car. The sensor senses vehicles in front of it, from a distance of 100m. It takes into account the speed of the car, the relative

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

David Elias Flores Escalante, Lima, NA PE Votes: 11 08/30/2008

In my country, the accidents and assaults on road over the territory are increasing very much last years, as well around all the world. There are many causes, but the main cause is the driver: speed excess, alcohol abuse, grand prix racer syndrome, etc. This electronic system will monitor compliance with traffic rules by drivers of motor vehicles intended for public and private transportation. Also, will watch for alerts from drivers against assaults and mechanical or

Trinity Rotor Engine Page Views: 506 Transportation
Douglas Lampi, Albany, OR US Votes: 9 08/10/2008

The Trinity Rotor Engine is a rotary engine that eliminates the problems of the Wankel and the power loss incurred by the piston engine while translating linear energy to rotation. The engine consists of a perfect cylinder with a three point rotor similar to the Wankel. Each point of the rotor has a flat face that sweeps to a point perpendicular to the tangent of the next rotor point to create these faces. The cylinder

elliptiGO glide bike Page Views: 529 Transportation
Bryan Pate, Atherton, CA US Votes: 13 08/07/2008

Ever wanted to run outside without the impact? Do you enjoy cycling but find the conventional bicycle seat and riding position to be uncomfortable? The elliptiGO glide bike combines the best aspects of running and cycling to provide a low-impact outdoor exercise that is similar to running. Because the rider stands in a natural position, the elliptiGO can also serve as a more comfortable alternative to the bicycle for almost any use. www.elliptigo.com
