Abstract: A vertical lift device comprised of a generally vertically disposed cylindrical tunnel, open at the top and bottom ends, with a driven propeller axially mounted at the open top end to direct a stream of air downwardly through the tunnel. A first portion of the stream of air is spirally directed outwardly through a peripheral portion of the open bottom end to create first lift forces for the device by using jet stream action. A second portion of the air stream is directed downwardly through a central axially disposed tube in the cylindrical tunnel to twin fans which redirect the second portion upwardly into a truncated cone, surrounding the central tube, to increase the pressure against the inner wall surface of the cone to create second lift forces.

Abstract: A recreational water scooter craft to travel on the surface of the water comprising a pair of parallel, spaced apart elongated float members, a deck connecting between the floats, a compound scissors linkage connected between an operating lever and a flap oar to amplify the distance of travel of the flap oar and the resulting speed of the craft when the operating lever is actuated by a person positioned in a seat area of the craft, and a foot actuated lever is provided to actuate a rudder for steering purposes.
