A continuous track outboard motor uses a suspension frame to engage water with a downwardly facing surface for propulsion.
Segmented baffle fixation merges with interference sections to resist negative pressure, preserving internal volume and reducing weight.
Delaying shift commands until engine speed drops below a threshold prevents gearbox overstressing and engine stalling.
A mobile charging station integrates solar, wind, and suspension generators to provide off-grid electric vehicle power.
A mechanical dewatering vehicle adjusts its buoyancy profile to match slurry density.
A convertible ducted fan engine transitions between fluid-propulsion and drive-wheel modes using a linear motor to adjust the mechanical fan position.
Retractable intermediate axle adjusts wheelbase to optimize breakover angle off-road while reducing fuel consumption on roads.
A control system operates a linear actuator in free-floating mode to maintain the installation angle between the drill and earthen surface.
Separate transmissions optimize gear ratios to reduce landing torque requirements, preventing unnecessary engine size increases.
An amphibious vehicle reverses its travel direction to align a low land front or high water bow with the path.
Segmented amphibious robot navigates narrow spaces and water using buoyancy control and undulating motion.
