  • Publication number: 20220010763
    Abstract: Gravity and hydrostatic pressure are natural forces that have considerable force generating capabilities which can make significant contributions during the operation of a FFWN 24/7/365, baseload, 100% clean energy power plant. When these natural forces are combined with compressed air in the upper part of an elevated storage tank containing a liquid and the partial vacuum created by powerful pumps to produce a targeted water flow rate velocity of about 31.3 m/s through the entire length of a coiled section of pipe containing one or more helical turbines in each coil that are connected to an external generator, the electricity produced during a power producing cycle by all the turbines/generators when combined will be considerably more than the power ultimately consumed by the pumps to return the highly pressurized water in a ground level tank back to the storage tank utilizing a return tank and simple water displacement.

  • Patent number: 11149719
    Abstract: The invention is a method and system for electric-powered propellantless propulsion in space. In addition to its breakthrough methods to produce thrust, the invention is also incorporated into propellantless velocity control and propellantless direction control systems. Disclosed herein are multiple embodiments of a mechanical propulsion system that do not require a propellant and do not violate Newton's Laws of Motion. The invention produces a significant amount of thrust solely in the intended direction of the propulsion system, with the main elements needed for the invention's successful operation successfully tested using multiple prototypes. Due to the Law of Conservation of Momentum, propellantless propulsion by mechanical means is generally considered not possible by propulsion experts.
