Abstract: A fluid device for vehicle fuel consumption enhancement including a body defining a compressible chamber therein the body is connected to the throttle linkage to be compressed responsive to movement of the vehicle throttle in the acceleration direction, the chamber housing a fluid therein which is adapted to be expelled through a fluid bleed orifice upon compression of the chamber to control the force of movement of the vehicle throttle, the bleed being preferably variable to control the speed of movement of the vehicle throttle, the device further including a fluid return providing a means for the return of the expelled fluid back into the chamber upon the deceleration of the vehicle throttle and further including a safety valve positioned in fluid flow communication with the chamber and adapted to allow instantaneous expelling of substantially all of the fluid from the chamber responsive to a predetermined large amount of force being exerted against the vehicle throttle and thereby against the compressible

Abstract: A solar or thermal gravity engine including a conduit extending substantially vertically from ground level upward into the atmosphere including a plurality of valves in the walls of the conduit at various heights from the bottom thereof, each valve being capable of opening to allow fluid flow communication between the vertical conduit and a liquid return conduit which extends downward therefrom and may include therein precipitation enhancement means such as grids or fins to allow water vapor or other liquid vapor which has evaporated in the evaporating area to condense in the condensing area when the associated valve is opened and such that the liquid will pass downwardly through the associated liquid return conduit to be gathered as a vertical column of liquid in an accumulating chamber positioned immediately above a liquid driven power generating means such as a turbine or the like, after driving the turbine the downwardly moving liquid may be collected in a return chamber for passage to the evaporation are
