  • Patent number: 6758040
    Abstract: A high heat producing system which encapsulates a deflected rotating laser beam in a chamber and propagates it through a gaseous medium within the chamber. The heat energy of the deflected rotating laser beam agitates the molecules of the gaseous medium such that the temperature of the gaseous medium increases to at least about two thousand (2000° F.) degrees Fahrenheit, thereby increasing the temperature of the high heat producing device. In the preferred embodiment, the high heat producing device is in direct heat transfer with a working fluid in an expansion chamber for powering, for example, a turbine or the like.

  • Publication number: 20030075862
    Abstract: A striking implement for use in a “Carom” game comprising a lightweight disc-shaped structure having formed in a center of a top surface thereof a concave recess and a button member coupled in the concave recess for providing a discrete pre-positioned finger contacting area positioned about a center of gravity of the lightweight disc-shaped structure to significantly enhance the airfoil properties of the lightweight disc-shaped structure when propelled by a finger of the player therefrom. Furthermore, the striking implement has an alternate discrete pre-positioned finger contacting area behind the button member within the concave recess for propelling the striking implement therefrom. The method of propelling the striking implement utilizes the discrete pre-positioned finger contacting area or the alternate discrete pre-positioned finger contacting area to exert a force of pressure to propel the striking implement forward.

  • Patent number: 6012286
    Abstract: A high heat producing system which transforms a alternating current or a pulsating direct current having a relatively low voltage such as one hundred and ten (110v) volts to a very high electric volt arc wherein the very high electric volt arc has a base temperature of, preferably, at least two thousand (2,000.degree. F.) degrees Fahrenheit. A very high electric volt arc is created and encapsulated in a chamber and is propagated through a fuel medium within such chamber to a rotating arc mobilizer. The heat energy of the very high electric volt arc increases the temperature of the fuel medium to further increase the temperature of the high heat producing system. In the preferred embodiment, the high heat producing system is in direct heat transfer with a working fluid in an expansion chamber for powering a turbine or the like.
