  • Patent number: 8075354
    Abstract: A marine vessel is constructed with a submerged front rotor/turbine that shields the vessel hull from water motion induced resistance force to a degree without significantly increasing the vessels water resistance while abstracting hydrodynamic energy from the vessel motion displaced water that would otherwise be dissipated/lost and couples or connects the resulting rotorary energy through mechanical or electrical means to assist in driving the vessel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 13, 2011
    Inventor: Thomas G. Packard
  • Publication number: 20100022147

  • Publication number: 20080156665
    Abstract: A coin change organizing holder for personal use in a wallet/billfold or purse is constructed in such a fashion as to allow the coins to be retained in a series of rows or channels on the surface of a small thin rectangular card and to easily slide slightly above the surface of the card and partially overlap in a compact manner.

  • Publication number: 20080011523
    Abstract: A vehicle is constructed with a front rotor or rotating assembly that shields the vehicle from motion induced resistance force to a degree without protruding beyond the sides of the vehicle and without significantly increasing the motion induced resistance force such that the motion induced resistance force to the vehicle drives the front rotor or rotating assembly where upon the resulting extracted rotary energy is coupled through mechanical, fluid or electrical means to vehicle drive wheels or propellers or other energy applications thereby utilizing some energy which would be otherwise lost/dissipated in total and thus significantly reducing the total energy expended to move/operate the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20070152557
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine sparkplug and glow plug are constructed to conduct and transmit visible combustion generated light from the inner combustion chamber to the combustion chamber and engine exterior by means of an visible light conducting, transmitting, high temperature stable, inert and electrically insulating material. that surrounds or is adjacent to the central electrode.

  • Publication number: 20030220073
    Abstract: A cellphone or computer or video camera, etc. id constructed/designed to radiate less harmful/interfering/damaging electromagnetic energy to the immediate user or environment by the use of removeable, and thus remoteable, relay transceivers that would emit most of the signal radiant energy distant from the immediate user or environment.
