Atmospheric Control

Using a power source that accumulates isolated charges, gravitational fields (not proven to be a misinterpretation in macrophysics in the ongoing research) are harnessed and then can be used in Atmospheric Control. The atmospheric medium can then be used in propulsion schemes. The development requires several power sources,

Ballistic Liquefied Inert Gas Wildfire Suppression System

This proposal would fill a ballistic projectile ie artillery or mortar shell with a liquefied inert gas, and fire it upwind of an isolated wildfire. The projectile would not detonate but would disperse LIG over the hot spot. This would cool the fire and displace air thereby removing two elements of the fire triangle, heat and O2 (fig 1).

Boundary Layer Ingesting (BLI) Ducted Fan for Silent Flight

Electric ducted fan propulsion systems are gaining attention for their potential to power next-generation aircraft towards NetZero emissions. These systems can be mounted away from the airframe or embedded within it, the latter being known as Boundary Layer Ingesting (BLI) ducted fans. BLI ducted fans, also known as embedded engines, are partially integrated into the plane's main body.

Bullet-Less Electromagnetic Field Pistol

In the future, this type of defense weapon may be utilized by your local police department and/or military infantry units, however, the bullet-less electromagnetic field pistol will first be marketed to enthusiast and collectors. Modeled after the blaster pistol used by the fictional ‘Star Wars’ character, Han Solo,

CBAG (Configurable Buoyancy And Geometry) Airship

The CBAG (Configurable Buoyancy And Geometry) semi-rigid airship overcomes all of the disadvantages of earlier airships. It is simpler, lighter, stronger, smaller, cheaper, and several times faster than any rigid or non-rigid air-ship of a similar load capacity.

Civilian Alternative to the JetZero BWB

Once upon a time I would have been ecstatic about the BWB becoming a reality. Now, there is another, a simpler, cheaper to produce and maintain airfoil body that can outperform the BWB/HWB in many areas. It's called the Lifting Fuselage Configuration (LFC). See patent D984,353. Using NASA's PRSEUS composite, it can be built for much less.

Cold Engine

Engine cooling method which reduces engine temperature about 75%. It acts directly on the combustion chambers or any part of the engine. It can be implemented on any combustion engine, and thus be able to function at any time any of these two thermodynamic cycles of operation:

The engine can operate normally,

Cryodynamic Ballast System

The need to control the balance of a load that is spinning at a high rate of speed is essential to the preservation of the mechanisms of rotation in a dynamic launch system capable of accelerating a mass to an escape velocity. The customary solution of balancing a rotating assembly is to add counterweight.

CTOL and XSTOL Convertible Payload Transport Aircraft (CPTA)

CPTA family of aircraft has two branches: conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) and eXtreme short take-off and landing (XSTOL). The XSTOL variant has two sub-variants: the two-engine medium-lift, 100,000lb GTOW (featured on website), and a four-engine heavy-lift, 200,000lb GTOW (not featured on website).
