  • Patent number: 4736416
    Abstract: Telephone sterilizer consisting of an electric ozone gas producing unit, consisting of a vacuum tube in which interior a electrode is fed with high current. The vacuum tube is surrounded by a negative charged mesh cylinder. Therefore, high current inside the vacuum tube will penetrate the vacuum tube in the form of electric sparks to make contact with the grounded mesh cylinder. The plurality of electric sparks surrounding the outer circumference of the vacuum tube will fuse oxygen out of the ambient to distrubute ozone gas (O.sub.3) to the ear or mouthpiece of telephone handset to destroy bacteria.

  • Patent number: 4597397
    Abstract: A self igniting cigar stored in a tubular cartridge which is divided in three sections. The sections are secured through a sealed tape. When the sealed tape is removed the upper section can be pulled up from the middle section exposing the mouth piece of the cigar, allowing a smoker to grip the cigar to pull the cigar out of the remaining cartridge. This will ignite an igniting unit installed inside the cigar in the form of a flammable tube in which a piston is inserted attached to a string. The other end of string is anchored to the bottom surface of the cartridge. Therefore, when the cigar is pulled out of the cartridge, the piston is pulled out of the igniting tube, thereby igniting flammable substance in the igniting unit which ignites the cigar. The middle section is separated so that it can slide over the cigar to protect fingertips of smoker and to extinguish the butt.

  • Patent number: 4577464
    Abstract: A heat engine. A plurality of body members each having a pressure chamber and a cooling chamber. A valve is mounted in each body member and adapted to connect and disconnect the pressure chamber and cooling chamber. A heat source is mounted in the pressure chamber and a ratchet operated pinion gear is connected to the pressure chamber. A not quite circular cam is mounted to operate the valves. The plurality of body members are mounted inside the cam to rotate about the center point of the cam whereby the pinion gears of the body members are connected to rotate a power output gear when the valve for each body member is in closed, heated position, and the pinion gear in each body member are disconnected from the power output gear when the valve in each body member is in open, cooling position. The heat source may be a radio-isotopic heat element.

  • Patent number: 4553394
    Abstract: Spindle drive for a power shaft. A pawl is mounted on the spindle, the spindle being connected to be rotated by stroke action of the pawl. An expansible chamber motor is connected to the pawl to rotate the spindle. The expansible chamber motor contains two different fluids. An electrical resistance wire passes through one of the fluids. A source of electricity is connected to the wire whereby the fluid becomes energized by the electrical resistance wire and thermo expansion inside the motor will rotate the spindle to do physical work.

  • Patent number: 4491139
    Abstract: A self igniting device. A tube having a flammable center which can ignite by friction. A piston inserted into the tube. A string fixed to the piston so that by pulling the string the piston will slide out from the tube and so ignite the flammable center. A gas filter on the outside of the tube so toxic gases can escape through the opening of the tube into the surrounding atmosphere as the purified gases are inhaled through the tobacco by the smoker.

  • Patent number: 4446636
    Abstract: An oceanic mining system. A sea bulldozer is movable across the bottom of the ocean by means of driven wheels to scrape up sediment from the ocean floor. The wheels are driven by an engine of the type which uses electrolysis to convert sea water into hydrogen and oxygen and then ignites the hydrogen and oxygen to provide power for driving the engine output. A mobile material transporting platform has a loading edge for receiving sediment from the bulldozer. The mobile platform is raised to the surface of the ocean and lowered to the bottom by a cable and winch system mounted on at least one ship with the cables attached to the platform. A cargo ship receives material from the platform. The cargo ship having a material receiving opening. Cable and winch are provided in the cargo ship with the cable attached to the end of the platform opposite the loading edge for maneuvering the loading edge of the platform into operative relationship with the opening for dumping the material into the cargo ship.

  • Patent number: 4421050
    Abstract: A Cargo Torpedo comprises a floating semi-submerged vessel attached to a prime mover vessel by a stud installed in the center of the stern of a cargo vessel to match into an opening in the center into the bow of a prime mover vessel; the opening consists of a bushing to rotate with the motion of the cargo torpedo introduced by a plurality of mobile fins installed around the outer circumference of the cargo vessel whereby remote-controlled fins put in different angle positions synchronized in motion so the pitch of the fins will determine rotation or when put in neutral position stabilize the cargo torpedo, therefore, rotation of the cargo torpedo is transferred through the stud to a bushing of the prime mover vessel, whereby the bushing penetrates into the interior of the prime mover vessel to activate one or a series of generators or alternators to produce electricity needed to assist propulsion of the prime mover vessel.

  • Patent number: 4398362
    Abstract: An oceanic seaplow system comprising a plurality of vessels forming a mini fleet wherein a flexible hose is joined at one end to a suction turbine associated with a mothership and the other end is connected to a suction stud on a seaplow travelling on the ocean bottom. Assistant vessels raise and lower the flexible hose and the seaplow by cables. One of the assistant vessels supplies air to an injector in the flexible hose through a pressure hose at one or more points for second stage acceleration of the dredged material. First stage acceleration takes place inside the seaplow through an electrolysis pump. Electricity for electrolysis and for the steering system is supplied through electric cables from one of the assistant vessels. The seaplow converts the forward motion of the plow by surface contact into rotation of plow elements in order to dig up specimens for elevation by the electrolysis pump located within the seaplow.
