    Liquid Slosh in containers

    I admit that I'm no inventor until a patent has been granted for an invention of mine! I agree with you IRstuff. I've known of these other solutions and am not under the impression that nobody has a solution. I believe that I have an interesting improvement, but not sure if the additional...

    Liquid Slosh in containers

    The concept is supposed to eliminate 80-100% of the liquid slosh, depending on the design. I'd love to share more info, but you understand why I can't discuss the how. thanks for sharing your thoughts. If there's anyone who has more to say please don't hesitate.

    Liquid Slosh in containers

    It added a little to the inspection but not that different for cleaning.

    Liquid Slosh in containers

    I see, thanks for the explanation. The invention would apply to any vehicle that carries a considerable amount of liquids, either for consumption or as cargo. It eliminates slosh and allows for center of gravity control. I posed the question in this forum because I thought airplanes would be a...

    Liquid Slosh in containers

    I think the fuel tanks are considered all along the process. If the wings don't have to hold the fuel, then they could be designed thinner (assuming no change in total lift force required to fly). Wouldn't you agree? the concept for the invention is simple and I'm hoping that its applications...

    Liquid Slosh in containers

    By efficiency I mean less fuel consumption due to lower drag without affecting the cargo load. The assumption is that with the current state of art equipment placing the containers in the fuselage will occupy too much space due to the slosh concern, there would have to be multiple smaller tanks...

    Liquid Slosh in containers

    Thanks, my initial idea was for those applications the container could be located inside the fuselage instead of the wings, assuming that my device can deal with the slosh issue, which should allow for thinner wings and more efficient flight. But its a lot of investment for an individual...

    Liquid Slosh in containers

    Hi, I am an individual inventor working on a system that eliminates liquid slosh in rigid containers. I would like to find out whether there is a demand for slosh elimination at all. All constructive thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Please help! [ponder] Thanks
