  • Publication number: 20060277914
    Abstract: The filed application is a supplement to my U.S. application Ser. No. 10/757,596 and to my German application No.: 103 02 041.1-13, which represent a basic conception for a novel internal combustion engine with the name: Injector-Centrifuge-Turbine-Engine (ICT-Engine) for road vehicles, and injector-Centrifuge-Jet-Engine (ICJ-Engine) for aircraft. New is the introduction of a supersonic injector in place of the turbine and the rotary compressor, and the introduction of a gas-centrifuge for decomposing of the mixed gases. In particular for aircraft, our presently used turbine-engines suffer from fatal turbine-blades crackings, which often results in aircraft crashes, with hundreds of burnt people. This can be eliminated by the novel engine. But also the automobilists would have a profit, by ca. 30% reduction in fuel consumption, arising from removal of the engine cooling and engine friction.

  • Patent number: 4372262
    Abstract: An apparatus for stopping and restarting a motor vehicle by means of a flywheel alternately clutched to the engine crankshaft to be driven thereby or declutched to rotate freely for subsequent driving of the engine to restart the engine, the engine being shut off in response to release of the accelerator pedal deactivating switches controlling the clutch mechanism after a predetermined time delay longer than the time normally required for a gear shift change.

  • Patent number: 4037808
    Abstract: Aircraft having subsonic and supersonic flight capabilities which utilize travelling tail units with circular arc motions, connected with the rear fuselage by means of two arm-frames that swing upward and rearward and vice versa, to generally increase stability and control of aircraft during low-speed flight and to reduce accidents at zero altitude operations.

  • Patent number: 4025007
    Abstract: An aircraft having a bulky propulsion system positioned near its symmetrical axis and utilizing two shifting horizontal tail halves that are moved rearwards and forwards along the outer side walls of two rear wing cantilevers for varying flight operations. The two horizontal tail halves change their lateral inclination angles during the shifting operations, and the propulsive jet streams of the engines are discharged between the two rear wing cantilevers.
