Energy is lost as a heated gas byproduct from internal combustion engines, gas furnaces, and other power generators. The heated exhaust from these power generators has the potential to be exploited for additional energy. However, a method must be developed to extract thermal energy from the exhaus…

Emergence of legislation for proactive emissions standards has coincided with a cultural shift toward environmental conscientiousness and greater demand for environmentally sustainable products, including marine products. Although relative improvements in energy efficiency of propulsion systems ha…

Internal combustion engines are the primary means of propulsion in automobiles, boats, aircraft, motorcycles, and many more vehicles. When an internal combustion engine is utilized to power some vehicle or machinery, lost thermal energy and gases are emitted as exhaust. In current use of combustio…

Environments prone to high impact events, such as explosions and large falls, often require durable vehicles for safe transportation. These work environments, including military operations, mining operations, and resource exploration, must utilize vehicles featuring terrain-resistant systems, such…
