Abstract: A three-wheeled vehicle having a front wheel assembly attached to a chassis. The chassis includes a rotational control shaft having a rotational axis that is generally directed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The rotational control shaft is integrated with or secured to the chassis in a non-rotational manner and passes through the front wheel assembly in a rotationally-free manner, such that the rotational control shaft can rotate about its rotational axis. The front wheel assembly includes one or more lean control motors, which are operably configured to rotate the rotational control shaft about its rotational axis thereby causing the chassis to lean from side to side to improve the handling ability of the vehicle. Some embodiments include a lean control system configured to automatically control the degree of rotation of the chassis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric dry hearth melter furnace designed for efficient and controlled metal melting. The furnace features a half-crucible chamber with an embedded heating element, ensuring direct heat transfer for improved energy efficiency. A refractory cover and insulation minimize heat loss, while a discharge outlet with an integrated filter reduces slag contamination. Adjustable support legs and an automated tilting mechanism facilitate controlled metal flow. A thermocouple and power control system regulate temperature, optimizing performance. The furnace's batch-loading system eliminates repeated heat cycling, enhancing metal purity and reducing oxidation. Its modular design accommodates various foundry scales, providing a cost-effective and safer alternative to conventional gas-fired and continuous melting systems.
