Patent number: 9810423Abstract: A steam turbine system uses a laser to instantaneously vaporize water in a nozzle within a turbine. This steam is then used to rotate the turbine. Thus, the turbine system does not require an external boiler. The steam turbine system may be used in either an open system, where the steam passing through the turbine is not condensed and reused, or a closed system, where the steam passing through the turbine is condensed and reused.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: BASTIAN FAMILY HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: William A. Bastian, II, Elizabeth Sobota

Patent number: 7825554Abstract: A power source for a vehicle includes at least one toroidal ring positioned in a housing. The toroidal ring includes magnetic material such as permanent magnets. The toroidal ring is magnetically levitated in the housing. A propulsion winding is coupled with the housing and energizable via a power signal to move the toroidal ring. Once moving, the magnetic material and the propulsion winding cooperate to produce electrical power and/or provide a stabilizing effect for the vehicle. In some applications, such as in an aircraft application, two or more toroidal rings may be used and rotated at counter directions so as to produce a predetermined net angular momentum.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2005Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Bastian Family Holdings, Inc.Inventors: William Allen Bastian, II, Elizabeth Sobota
