At the very crux of engineering is the desire to problem-solve, optimize, and squeeze out every bit of efficiency possible from the system being built. Aircraft design and aeronautical engineering ...

It’s a rare occasion when a piece of engineering transcends its pure industrial function and becomes art. And it’s even rarer when that metamorphosis is the byproduct of a quest for better performance ...

Sharrow's extraordinary looped propellers were already some 30% more efficient than traditional designs – and now the company has put two of them together into a coaxial, contra-rotating prop that ...

Two mechanical sails have been installed on board Jumbo's heavy lift vessel (HLV) Jumbo Jubilee. The wind assisted ship propulsion (WASP) solution is the latest in a series of innovative technologies ...

Counter Rotating Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (CRPMSM) are increasingly favored in underwater application due to their high torque density, efficiency and ability to cancel out yaw inducing ...
