  • Publication number: 20230339577
    Abstract: An autonomous watercraft race course system using automated buoys, sensors, and a race course application for autonomously setting up, starting, conducting, and scoring a race. The race can be any type of race conducted on or near water. In a preferred embodiment the race is a sailing race, however, it is within the scope of this invention for the race to include races for power boats, personal water craft (i.e., jet ski), waterskiing, wake boarding or surfing and over water aircraft races.

  • Patent number: 10732296
    Abstract: A programmable buoy system having one or more buoys capable of connecting through the Internet to a buoy command server. The buoy command server relays commands to each of the one or more buoys in response to user commands sent from a buoys command interface application on a mobile device. The programmable buoy system includes one or more buoys each having a hull with two or more pontoons where the hull has a top side and bottom side. A stationary rudder extends downward from the bottom side of the hull to be positioned in a body of water when the one or more buoys are in use. A motor is pivotably connected on each one or more buoys, wherein the motor has a propeller positioned away from the bottom side of the hull. The propeller and motor move the select one of the one or more buoys in the body of water.

  • Publication number: 20130048028
    Abstract: A water heater rejuvenation system and process wherein a system kit comprises an introduction-extraction tube, a water heater wrench, and an amount of calcium cleaning solution. The system and process may include the steps of draining the water heater reservoir, opening an access to the water heater reservoir, introducing an amount of calcium cleaning solution into the reservoir, via an introduction-extraction tube, allowing an amount of time to pass, extracting the cleaning solution and debris from the reservoir with the introduction-extraction tube, closing the access to the reservoir, and filling the reservoir with water. Alternatively, the system and process may include introducing an additional amount of solution to remove additional debris, and using a wet/dry vacuum to facilitate extraction of the solution and debris from the reservoir.
