Rocket engine-based payload transporter

Patent published on the 2026-05-28 in US under Ref US20260145817 by BLUE ORIGIN MFG LLC [US] (Squyres Steven W [us], Johnson Stephen [us])

Abstract: A propulsion-based payload transporter (PPT) and methods of its operation are provided. The PPT may operate in a gravitational field such as that on the lunar surface. Via rocket engines that produce thrust, the PPT is configured to descend onto and over a payload to be moved. Once in position with respect to the payload, latches engage with the payload so as to secure the payload in a payload holding bay of the PPT. The rocket engines produce thrust with an exhaust plume that is angled away fro[...]


Our summary: The propulsion-based payload transporter (PPT) utilizes rocket engines to secure and transport payloads. It operates in gravitational fields, such as the lunar surface, by descending onto the payload. The engines produce thrust angled away from the payload to prevent damage during movement.

Impact rotary tool

Patent published on the 2026-05-28 in WO under Ref WO2026110487 by PANASONIC CORP [JP] (Sato Masaya, Yamashita Masaki, Murakami Hiroaki)

Abstract: The present disclosure addresses the problem of further inhibiting noise generated by an impact rotary tool. An impact rotary tool comprises: a hammer; an anvil; an output shaft; a bearing (first bearing 91); and an elastic member. The output shaft receives a force in the rotational direction of the anvil from the anvil, and rotates together with the anvil. The bearing is held by a housing, and rotatably supports the output shaft. The elastic member is elastically deformed in a thrust direction [...]


Our summary: The disclosure presents an impact rotary tool designed to reduce noise. It features a hammer, anvil, output shaft, bearing, and an elastic member. The elastic member is positioned between the tip tool and the fitting part to enhance performance.

System for controlling watercraft, method of controlling watercraft, and watercraft

Patent published on the 2026-05-27 in EP under Ref EP4748703 by YAMAHA MOTOR CO LTD [JP] (Moritani Kento [jp], Ikegaya Yuji [jp])

Abstract: The present watercraft operating system includes a marine propulsion device and a watercraft operating controller. Under a compass direction keeping control for keeping a watercraft oriented in a target compass direction, the watercraft operating controller turns a propeller between a first steering position and a second steering position at a predetermined time interval. The first steering position is a position where the thrust is applied to the watercraft in a back-and-forth direction and a r[...]


Our summary: The system controls watercraft orientation using a marine propulsion device and an operating controller. It adjusts the propeller s steering position to maintain a target compass direction. The controller manages thrust magnitude and direction for effective bow turning.

System for controlling watercraft, method of controlling watercraft, and watercraft

Patent published on the 2026-05-27 in EP under Ref EP4748701 by YAMAHA MOTOR CO LTD [JP] (Ikegaya Yuji [jp])

Abstract: [0001] A watercraft operating system includes a plurality of marine propulsion devices (1a, 1b), a joystick, a setting device, and a controller. The joystick is operable to tilt in a back-and-forth direction and a sideways direction intersecting with the back-and-forth direction. The setting device is operable to select one from a plurality of thrust modes including a limiting mode and a non-limiting mode. The limiting mode limits a forward thrust and a rearward thrust, whereas the non-limiting [...]


Our summary: The system includes multiple marine propulsion devices and a joystick for control. Users can select between limiting and non-limiting thrust modes. The controller adjusts rudder angle and propulsion output based on joystick input and selected mode.

CFD-based analysis of chimney performance optimization for the Manzanares pilot plant

Published on 2026-03-19 by @OXFORD

Abstract: AbstractThis research conducts an extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis aimed at optimizing the geometric configuration of solar chimney power plants (SCPPs), with particular emphasis on the Manzanares pilot plant. The research analyses the effects of chimney diameter and divergent chimney design on system performance under steady-state conditions at 1000 W/m2 solar irradiance and 300 K ambient temperature. A validated three-dimensional CFD model with a 90° symmetry sector is [...]


Our summary: This research utilizes CFD to optimize chimney design for the Manzanares pilot plant. The study finds that increasing chimney diameter significantly boosts power output, while a divergent configuration further enhances performance. Optimal design parameters lead to substantial improvements in airflow and energy generation, providing a cost-effective solution for future installations.

Prediction and Suppression of Liquid Propellant Sloshing-Induced Oscillation in RLV Terminal Flight

Published on 2026-02-03 by Yuzhou Liao, Shuguang Zhang, Zhiyue Xiong, Pengxin Han @MDPI

Abstract: During the reentry terminal flight of lifting-body Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) propelled by liquid fuel, the sloshing of liquid propellent presents new features that, if neglected, could lead to adverse flight oscillations or even worse. This paper focuses on liquid sloshing coupled flight dynamics, sloshing effect prediction, and the suppression of adverse flight oscillations. First, a transfer function model for unsteady aerodynamics is improved and applied to describe the sloshing force e[...]


Our summary: This paper addresses the impact of liquid propellant sloshing on the flight dynamics of Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs). It presents an improved transfer function model to predict sloshing-induced oscillations and evaluates suppression control measures. Simulations confirm that the proposed compensation control effectively mitigates adverse oscillations caused by sloshing.
