Von L. Burton has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8508059
    Abstract: A reaction engine driven electrical generating system comprising an electrical generator having an armature and a reaction engine driven to rotate the armature for generating electricity. The reaction engine drive includes a generally cylindrical housing with an internal truncated cone which internally divides the housing into two sections. A drive shaft extends generally horizontally into the housing and a reaction force rotation unit carrying a plurality of reaction engines is mounted upon the drive shaft. An enlarged air port is fashioned within one end of the housing and cooperates with an air inlet disc fixedly connected to the drive shaft. A plurality of air inlet apertures extend through the air inlet disc and air conduits connect the inlet apertures directly to corresponding intakes of said plurality of reaction engines. A monitor is operably connected to the armature or drive shaft and serves to provide a readout of speed of rotation of the drive shaft and generator armature.
