  • Publication number: 20040103729
    Abstract: A fixed radius rotating mass having a first axis of rotation is arranged to also rotate about a second axis at 90° relative to the first axis, and at the same speed, to provide a net unidirectional force generator that requires little energy input. This reduces consumption of fossil fuels and resultant global pollution and global warming. It also allows for a simple means of levitating a vehicle, lower lift off mass for space missions and more efficient space travel propulsion.

  • Patent number: 6185489
    Abstract: A vehicle overturn monitor includes an input/display device that enables vehicle load information to be entered by positioning a left side and a right side critical angle display, cursor, or other indicator at a point on the display representative of a calculated critical angle &bgr; for each side of the vehicle, the critical angle display enabling a maximum safe speed to be determined based on posted curve radius and bank information using a chart of maximum speeds as a function of the curve radius, with the control device for each indicator turning a potentiometer that controls both the critical angle display and an input to a comparator that triggers an alarm, the second input to the comparator being provided by circuitry having as input a plurality of force or acceleration sensors that monitor the actual forces on the vehicle and control illumination of a second set of LEDs to provide a visual indication of the net force vector.
