A hollow profile for a WIM sensor elongates along a longitudinal direction and includes a plate-shaped force introduction element, an anchoring element and a tubular element disposed between the force introduction element and the anchoring element. The tubular element is integrally connected to the force introduction element and to the anchoring element and encloses a first cavity. The anchoring element encloses at least one second cavity. The anchoring element, tubular element and force introduction element are formed integrally with each other.

Electric In-Space propulsion uses no fuel. Thrust is generated as impulses where in space, momentum is additive. Rotary motion is converted into bi-linear oscillation of a carriage then its momentum rectified: The carriage is shifted forward during low inertia, so momentum used to oscillate the carriage forward is conserved to be used later in the cycle. Reverse carriage oscillations are deflected. This creates only a pulsed demand on the electric power supplythus too fulfilling the law of Conservation of Energy: Newton's third law of motion is upheld because action and reaction are not simultaneous events, so in this engine, the inertial delay occurs at post carriage shift during part of the rotors' orbitwhen centrifugal force emerges: The centripetal force of the rotors are cyclically nullified by the shift resulting in surges of centrifugal force.
