Jeffrey L. Riggs has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Multiphase material generator vehicle
    Patent number: 8378509
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed relating to a vehicle driven by an air driven generator that employs multiphase materials and compressed air.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2013
    Assignee: CAUSwave, Inc.
    Inventors: Vladislav Oleynik, Melvin Jason Ezell, Jeffrey L. Riggs, Gennadiy Albul
  • Projectile propulsion system
    Patent number: 8327747
    Abstract: A projectile propulsion system includes a launch tube, multiphase material, and a pressure barrier member. The launch tube has an interior cavity, the multiphase material disposed therein. The launch tube also has an opening to receive the multiphase material. The pressure barrier member seals the opening while the multiphase material is disposed in the interior cavity of the launch tube so as to allow the launch tube to be pressurized. When the pressure barrier member is broken, a shock wave allows the contents of the interior cavity, such as a projectile, to be expelled from the tube with a high velocity and force.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 11, 2012
    Assignee: Causwave, Inc.
    Inventors: Jeffrey L. Riggs, Vladislav Oleynik, Valery Borovikov, Gennadiy Albul
  • Electrical power generator
    Patent number: 8294287
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed relating to a system including a launch tube and a generator connected with the launch tube. The generator uses multiphase materials (MPM) and compressed air to convert kinetic energy of the MPM into electrical energy.

  • Explosive decompression propulsion system
    Patent number: 8181561
    Abstract: A projectile propulsion system includes a launch tube, multiphase material, and a membrane. The launch tube has an interior cavity, the multiphase material disposed therein. The launch tube also has an opening to receive the multiphase material. The membrane seals the opening while the multiphase material is disposed in the interior cavity of the launch tube so as to allow the launch tube to be pressurized. When the membrane is broken, a supersonic wave thrusts the contents of the interior cavity, such as a projectile, outwards with a high velocity and force.
