Abstract: A butterfly valve system has an air cylinder with an internal passageway with an axis. An air control assembly includes a plurality of similarly configured plates positioned within the passageway with shafts mounted for independent oscillation and supporting the plates. A rocker arm is secured to each shaft to oscillate the rocker arms and shafts and plates independently of each other whereby the flow of air may be selectively controlled to generate a vortex flow by a user manipulating the drivers to open and close four quarter quadrants of the cross section of the cylindrical passageway.

Abstract: A sexual aid system. A head portion in a bi-lobar configuration with a right lobe and a left lobe. A shaft portion is adjacent to the head portion with a gripping portion.

Abstract: A sexual aid comprising a three dimensional body is disclosed. The body has an annealed outer surface. The body is fabricated of a generally lubricous glass-based material of borosilicate glass.

Abstract: A sexual aid comprising a cylindrical shaft is disclosed. The shaft has a length with a first end and a second end. A base is integrally formed in the first end of the shaft. A conical head may be provided on the second end of the shaft. The shaft, base and/or conical head are fabricated of a generally lubricous glass-based material containing an appreciable amount of an oxide of boron. A recess and a knob may be formed into the based.

Abstract: A sexual aid comprising a cylindrical rod is disclosed. The rod has a length with a first end and a second end. A sphere is integrally formed in the first end of the rod. A loop-shaped handle or a second sphere may be provided on the second end of the rod. The rod, sphere or spheres and/or handle are fabricated of a generally lubricous glass-based material containing an appreciable amount of an oxide of boron. A plurality of spheres may be provided on the rod intermediate the first and second ends.

Abstract: A whip with a braided handle and method of fabrication which includes a generally cylindrical handle portion. The handle portion has an inboard end and an outboard end and is fabricated of a braided rope construction which comprises a plurality of single yarns twisted together to form a plurality of piled yarns which are then braided, with a helical angle of the twist of the single yarns within their respective plied yarn being equal and opposite to the helical angle of the plied yarns in the braid. Also included is an inboard first thread which is wrapped circumferentially about the handle end from adjacent the inboard end and extends outboardly. An outboard second thread is wrapped circumferentially around the handle portion to provide a handle. A whipping portion extends outboardly of the outboard end of the handle portion and is fabricated of extensions of the braided strands from the handle portion but in an unbraided braid form.
