Abstract: A self-propelled flying toy includes a body defined as having a front section, a center section and a back section each along a longitudinal axis. A ducted fan is located within the body substantially centered about the longitudinal axis. A motor is mechanically coupled to the ducted fan and a power source is coupled to the motor. An air-inlet is located substantially within the front section in airflow communication with the ducted fan. An air-outlet is located substantially within the back section in airflow communication with the ducted fan. At least two angled surfaces are fixed relative to the body and located substantially within the front section. Each of the at least two angled surfaces are evenly centered about the longitudinal axis and facing an opposite thrust-generating rotational direction relative to the ducted fan.

Abstract: A human powered watercraft is disclosed. An exemplary embodiment includes a board body having a top rider surface, a bottom submerged surface, a front section half, a rear section half, a board centerline and a board plane. A leg engagement mechanism is pivotally connected to the board body positioned generally along the rear section half. The leg engagement mechanism engages a rider's legs while laying in a prone position on the top rider surface. A fin propulsion mechanism is pivotally connected to the board body positioned generally below a water line and mechanically coupled to the leg engagement mechanism. Rotating the leg engagement mechanism rotates the fin propulsion mechanism, thus creating a forward thrust.

Abstract: Disclosed is a three-wheeled vehicle with centrally positioned motor and driver's seat. An exemplary embodiment has a frame for supporting a driver and a multitude of mechanical devices. A pair of steerable front wheels are rotatably affixed to the front portion of the frame. A rear wheel is rotatably affixed along the frame's centerline in the rear portion. A motor is affixed to the frame's centerline. The driver's seat is also affixed to the frame's centerline behind the motor and ahead of the rear wheel, so the driver sitting in the driver seat is in both a recumbent and straddle position.
