Engine Components TRIZ Cases
- Embedded Power Generator in Turbine Spinner
Embedding a power generator in the spinner reduces ice formation risks and eliminates long power lines.
- Integrally Forged Gun Barrel Housing via Cold Hammering
Cold forging merges a gun barrel and housing to reduce cumulative tolerances and weapon weight.
- Turbine Hub Retainer Aft Movement Control
A conical turbine hub retainer with radial struts impedes aft axial movement during catastrophic rotor failure.
- Hot Forged Gear Rack for Vehicle Seat Height Adjustment
A hot forged toothed gear rack with a reinforced profile provides high bending resistance for vehicle seat height adjustment mechanisms.
- Garage Door Shaft Bearing Removal Tool Design
A threaded bearing removal assembly simplifies shaft maintenance operations.
- Rankine Cycle Bypass Flow Control via Temperature Differential Sensing
Temperature sensors measure working fluid differences to control bypass flow, preventing liquid entry into the expander without expensive pressure sensors.
- Proportional Gas Jet Control Device for Missile Thrust Regulation
A proportional exhaust modulation fluidic member regulates pressurized chamber pressure to position a sealing cap and adjust gaseous jet thrust.
- Compressed Gas Engine Torque via Pneumatic Cycle
A compressed gas engine uses pressure vessels to increase weight and potential energy for mechanical work.
- Actuating Turbofan Bifurcation Surfaces for Variable Nozzle Area
Integrated opposing surfaces in the engine bifurcation dynamically change the nozzle exit area, resolving weight and complexity trade-offs.
- Pivoting Water Turbine Vanes for Reduced Drag
Pivotally mounted vanes collapse to minimize rotational resistance, while a linkage system synchronizes movement for efficient energy harvesting.
- Variable Exhaust Nozzle for Gas Turbine Noise and Thrust Trade-off
A variable exhaust nozzle adjusts its throat area using a movable inner plug to optimize gas turbine engine performance.
