  • Patent number: 4957299
    Abstract: A child's toy which can also be used as a game. The game consists of a game board and a balloon launching device called a "balloon fly". The game board is made from a flat piece of paper or cardboard and is divided into 9 area, marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10. Next to the number 2 are the words "Free Fly" which gives an extra turn when the "balloon fly" lands on this space. To play the game, a child blows on the open end of the "balloon fly" until the balloon is expanded with sufficient air to reach the game board. The child then puts his finger over the open end of "balloon fly" to hold the air inside of the balloon. Next, the child adjusts the wing at a conjectured setting and then aims the "balloon fly" towards the game board. When the child feels that his settings and aim are completed, the child's finger is released from the "balloon fly" and exiting air causes the "balloon fly" to be launched toward the game board. Points are scored when the "balloon fly" lands on a game board number.

    Abstract: A generator system for producing an electrical power output or for providing rotary motion for a drive system. The system includes a central shaft supported on bearings for free rotation. The shaft further includes a flywheel and a vibratory gyroscope mounted on it for storing energy. A drive means is used to apply torque to the shaft to cause it and the flywheel to rotate up to speed. A further coil is mounted on the shaft co-operable with opposed magnets to provide an electrical power output to an external load. Also a mechanical power output may be taken from the shaft for an external drive.
