  • Patent number: 10543885
    Abstract: A vessel with three platforms—an outer hull, an inner deck hull and a passenger carriage, having four independent suspension systems there between so as to accommodate for the multi axis movements of the outer hull. This multi axis suspension system spread between the three platforms will offer the passenger carriage stability against the pitch, yaw and roll rotations a vessel makes as it twists and turns going up and down the slope of a wave as well as the heave, sway and surge movements induced by the waves pushing the vessel around and or the ship sliding down the face of a wave.

  • Patent number: 9302757
    Abstract: A hydroplaning vessel that exceed speeds of 25 miles per hour with several stability and handling design improvements. It has an enhanced reactive suspension and inner hull lift system positioned in the vessel between an inner hull and a set of outer hulls. There are at least three outer hulls; a front outer hull and a mirror image pair of rear outer hulls, none of which can float on its own and all which have open transoms. Steering and braking are accomplished by a set of rear elevon flaps. The drive unit resides in the inner hull and is connected by an annular drive transmission, which is connected to the jet or prop drive, which resides on the outer hull.

  • Publication number: 20150290966
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method for shaping and energizing fluids that can generate luminous fluid sculptures. The method comprises sculpting the pattern and/or shape of a plurality of fluids using nonvisible forces such as mechanically generated turbulence, controlled movement through a shaped chamber, magnetic fields, vibration, gravity, or other forces; energizing the sculpted fluids so that they emit visible light using sources of nonvisible energy such as chemicals, heat, electrical currents, electromagnetic radiation, or other sources; and controlling the color of the emitted light using chemical additives, selected wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, layering of selected chemicals, or other methods.

  • Patent number: 8718842
    Abstract: A hydroplaning vessel with several stability and handling design improvements. It has an enhanced reactive suspension and inner hull lift system positioned in the vessel between a set of separating inner and outer hulls. The outer hull does not float on its own as it has numerous fixed louvers formed there through and also has an open transom. Steering and braking are accomplished by a set of rear elevon flaps affixed to the outer hull. The drive unit resides in the inner hull and is connected by an annular drive transmission which is connected to the jet or prop drive which resides on the outer hull.

  • Patent number: 8676412
    Abstract: A boat with several stability and handling design improvements. It has an enhanced reactive suspension system positioned in the vessel between a set of separating hull and body components. The boat also has improved braking, steering and stabilizing systems designed around multiple pivoting mechanisms on the vessel hull that work individually or in unison to achieve the desired braking or steering effect. The stabilizing system is operated by a computerized, gyroscopic hydraulic control to maintain stability and comfort of ride, minimizing the roll, pitch and yaw commonly experienced in the passenger compartment.
