Abstract: Regenerative braking (RB) systems have existed in conceptual form for several years. The present work develops calculations which demonstrate the practicality of such systems. It is shown that ...

Abstract: A FORTRAN computer program called GROCS (Ground Coupled Systems) has been developed to study three-dimensional underground heat flow. Features include the use of up to 30 finite elements or ...

Abstract: A research program at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has studied ground coupling, i.e., the use of the earth as a heat source/sink or storage element, for solar-assisted heat-pump systems. ...

Abstract: A research program at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has studied ground coupling, i.e., the use of the earth as a heat source/sink or storage medium for solar-assisted and stand-alone ...

Abstract: A technique for determining aerodynamic lift characteristics and surface lift distributions of automobiles is derived. Calculations using both this technique, which includes certain second-order ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the design principles basic to the development of devices that can be used to absorb and manage energy during collisions. Design guidelines and a chart are developed for ...

Abstract: Variable antidive suspension characteristics represent an excellent design compromise between 100 percent dive compensation and ride harshness. This paper develops a simple suspension modification ...

Abstract: Brookhaven National Laboratory has developed a Hydrogen Technology Evaluation Center to illustrate advanced hydrogen technology. The first phase of this effort investigated the use of solar energy ...

Abstract: An intracorporeal left ventricular bypass, incorporating an electrically driven roller pump, has operated successfully in unrestrained calves for periods up to 11 days. A pneumatically powered ...
