  • Publication number: 20170254324
    Abstract: Disclosed is a gravitational inversion pump wherein a wheel is turned by combination of the force of gravity and the power of buoyancy. The inversion pump employs a rocker arm attached to a wheel frame with a pivotal pin which causes a pump to move up and down. The rocker arm has a weight at one end relying upon gravity to move the arm down. The opposite end of the rocker arm employs a float is force up by buoyancy when submersed in a fluid such as water. When the wheel shaped structure is rotated, the bellows in a top position is forced down causing the bellows to deflate and a bellows positioned on an opposite side of the wheel, which will be at the bottom of the wheel, will be inflated. The bellows will become buoyant as it inflates and will pull upwards causing the wheel to move in a circular motion. This action will repeat as the wheel turns and can be used in the generation of rotational movement.

  • Patent number: 5185951
    Abstract: A device is provided which will act as a lure or teaser to attract fish and which will carry and guide the hook and bait laterally away from the boat when being pulled in the same manner as trolling, to separate fishing lines in the same fashion as out-riggers but with much greater distance. The device is lightweight and is configured and preferably weighted to remain at a steady, level course while minimizing tension and drag on the fishing line.
