Abstract: A downhole tool having a body or structural component comprises a material that is at least partially consumed when exposed to heat and a source of oxygen. The material may comprise a metal, such as magnesium, which is converted to magnesium oxide when exposed to heat and a source of oxygen. The downhole tool may further comprise a torch with a fuel load that produces the heat and source of oxygen when burned. The fuel load may comprise a flammable, non-explosive solid, such as thermite.

Abstract: A method for removing a downhole tool from a well bore comprises consuming at least a portion of the downhole tool within the well bore via exposure of the tool to heat and a source of oxygen. Another method of removing a downhole tool from a well bore comprises exposing the downhole tool to heat and a source of oxygen in situ within the well bore to desirably consume at least a portion of the tool within the well bore.

Abstract: The instant invention is directed toward a marine craft having a semi-enclosed surfacing type propeller in a tunnel that draws air through the specific areas located and shaped to enhance performance and compensate for prime mover torque and horsepower characteristics. The invention consists of these air induction features with description of their relationship to craft performance and operating characteristics. This invention also relates certain structures and configuration of these elements, as to enhanced control of said marine craft. The control of these elements having no moving parts or operator interface. Its sequencing is established by the hull movement and the water around it.
