  • Patent number: 11137431
    Abstract: Apparatuses for studying possible physical effects of dark matter may include an electronic oscillator. A power source may be in electrical communication with the electronic oscillator. An antenna may be in series electrical communication with the electronic oscillator. A first diode may be in series electrical communication with the electronic oscillator and the antenna. A second diode may be in series electrical communication with the electronic oscillator and the antenna. The first diode and the second diode may ensure and restrict flow of electrical current in one direction only in the antenna. Methods for studying possible physical effects of dark matter are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6752740
    Abstract: A continuously variable transmission including a rotatable scroll having an axis of rotation and having upper and lower faces, the upper and lower faces each being conical and each having a pitch, the rotatable scroll being alternately upwardly and downwardly skewable along its axis of rotation, the pitches of the upper and lower faces respectively decreasing and increasing upon upward skewing of the rotatable scroll, the pitches of the upper and lower faces respectively increasing and decreasing upon downward skewing of the rotatable scroll; including upper and lower rotatable wheels, each having an axis of rotation and each having a forward face, each forward face being conical; and including a support frame pivotally and rotatably mounting the upper and lower rotatable wheels with respect to the rotatable scroll, the support frame enabling pivotable motion of the upper and lower rotatable wheels to alternately upwardly and downwardly skew the rotatable scroll, the support frame further enabling the upper a
