  • Patent number: 10443929
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for a superduct representing a unique process for helium distillation/liquefaction by means of a hypersonic stochastic switch is described. A supersonically expanded isentropic continuum is switched into a stochastic vortex flux by means of a thermally reactive slanted shafted nosecone and an extreme high pressure source hypersonic vortex flux. The concept can be further developed to a bridge spanning 1-10 miles of superduct segments, owing to its virtual nature and extreme power packaged kinetic energy of the hypersonic stochastic motive system.

  • Patent number: 10435135
    Abstract: An apparatus and method that improves the operation of aerospace planes or rockets having an integrated flute and hat components whereby the flute functions as a hypersonic refrigeration engine and the hat as a flat plate heat exchanger to achieve an isothermal compression of the incipient hypersonic air in front of the nosecone to reduce hypersonic vibrations during flight, these improvements allow for the reduction in temperature during flight operation allowing for improved cooling of the aerospace plane or rocket.

  • Patent number: 9550586
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for mitigating the shock front of a rocket or aerospace plane flying at hypersonic speeds while simultaneously distilling liquid chemical elements from the ambient air. The ensuing supercool/chilled air that is rendered as a consequence of supercooling may hence be compressed, regeneratively intercooled & flashed into liquid air. By means of extension, liquid air may be rendered as a direct result of said supercooling throughout the hypersonic regime into space. Also described are the details of an isentropically expanded hypersonic stochastic switch (a singularity), which is mainly achieved via the addition of a high pressure supersonic isentropic expansion nozzle whereby a continuous flow continuum is transformed into a stochastic flux.

  • Publication number: 20160114879
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for mitigating the shock front of a rocket or aerospace plane flying at hypersonic speeds while simultaneously distilling liquid chemical elements from the ambient air. The invention employs supercooling driven by the cryogenic power of liquid hydrogen and/or regenerative evaporation of liquid hydrogen and/or liquid nitrogen to drive isothermal compression and consequentially usurp the shock front in totality.
