  • Exercise machine
    Patent number: 7112165
    Abstract: An exercise machine comprising a weighted spool assembly having a shaft that freely rotates upon bearings. To accelerate the weighted spool assembly, a user applies a pulling force to a strap assembly. With the strap assembly in a coiled position, the user applies the pulling force causing the weighted spool assembly to rotate in a first direction, uncoiling the strap assembly, until the length of the strap assembly is exhausted. Once exhausted, the weighted spool assembly continues to rotate in the first direction causing the strap assembly to coil upon it. While the strap assembly is coiling and to decelerate, the user then applies a resistance force. Once the strap assembly is coiled again, the user reapplies the pulling force causing the weighted spool assembly to rotate in a second direction, uncoiling the strap assembly, until the length of the strap assembly is again exhausted.

  • Electrolytic regenerator
    Patent number: 6911126
    Abstract: An electrolysis system to be used in a salt-water application at a predetermined depth. The electrolysis system comprises two cylindrical tanks that are connected by an ionic bridge. Enclosed within each tank are turbine assemblies attached to a generator by a shaft. An anode coil is secured to one tank near the bottom and a cathode coil is secured to the other tank near its bottom. Electricity is supplied from an external source to power said anode and cathode coils. Once electrolysis starts to occur, oxygen and hydrogen gas emit and travel towards the top of their respective tanks. As the respective gases pass their respective valves, they turn their respective turbines, which enable their respective generators. Once the generators are providing sufficient power for the anode and cathode coils to perform electrolysis, the external power supply is disconnected. Oxygen and hydrogen is then stored.
