Projects

This project has been a multi-year effort in collaboration with faculty and engineering students at Arizona State University. Aerial lift is accomplished using a large, spherical lightweight vacuum chamber using dynamic motion to balance forces and to provide gyro stability during lift-off and in-flight. 

This project provides a proposed solution to assist combat wounded Soldiers as single or double leg amputees to transition from a seated position in a wheelchair to a standing posture. Three (3) universities collaborated on the development of this new technology. 

Projects (not shown on this website) may require the protection of Intellectual Property (IP). Under this requirement, an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) may be required prior to project start. 

This project has been a multi-year effort with  four (4) universities to engineer and (Python) code the advanced communication system. The software application transcribes voice and text to a form of tailorable output to ensure compatibility with non-verbal individuals. 

This project was the result of a collaborative effort with aerospace and mechanical engineering graduate students at Arizona State University. The experimental flying disc with the integrated inertial wheel spun-up separately at 15,000 rpm provided experimental flight characteristic data to support development of the Vacuum Chamber Airship Concept. 

Engineering tools common to the trade include Computer Aided Design (CAD), Static and Dynamic Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as well as Physical Test and Evaluation Methods.
