  • Publication number: 20090209404
    Abstract: A mechanism for generating directional thrust from a centrifuge, related to an engine that includes; a framework (2) that supports an axle (1) upon which a rotor (3) spins. Ballasted truck assembly (5) is put in motion by energy control (6) to move back and forth on a track (3a) in such a way that the force of the spinning rotor is consistently altered to be greater on one side of an axle than the other, thereby imputing thrust to the axle and framework and enabling force or travel in XYZ planes without need of a drive mechanism to act upon a surface or atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 6441284
    Abstract: A powered random chiming mechanism, related to the traditional outdoor wind chime that includes a body (10) by which a pendulum (20) is suspended centrally to a plurality of chimes (11a). A fan (14), integral to the device, generates a vertically rising column of air that emits from a point beneath the center rest position of the pendulum. A concave sail (20c) at the termination of the pendulum is then agitated, pulling the pendulum into random lateral motion. A striker (20a) located along the pendulum axis impacts the surrounding chimes to create tones of random sequence and degree for the purpose of enjoyment.
