The idea is to create a 'wheel within a wheel' to absorb energy from bumps on the road and transform it into forward motion. The wheel will be made up of a pair of steel hoops that will fit together and will be suspended by an array of springs. The outer hoop will be made of rubber similar to a conventional tire while the inner hoop will be attached to the springs by studs. When tire will roll over a bump, the outer ring will spring while the inner ring will remain stable, reducing...

Why not create an electric drive that can be attached to any manual wheelchair, creating a long distance alternative for wheelchair users. The drive will resemble a pair of headphones, with two circular hubs connected by a curved section. Each hub will contain a 24-volt motor powered by a lithium-ion battery with a range of almost 20 miles. When attached to the center of the wheelchair's wheels, the device will be able to propel the wheelchair at speeds up to 12 mph. Steering...

The idea is to develop a way to transmit power through sound, which could lead to a new method of delivering wireless power from greater differences. The system will consist of a commercial speaker that will deliver an ultrasonic sound wave which will be transformed into power by a circuit board and microphones. Using electromagnetic waves for wireless power will make it easy to identify the power source, and the signal will be easy to interrupt, bounce, and broaden.
