  • Publication number: 20070062740
    Abstract: The “turbojet powered automobile” of this invention is actually powered by an electric motor for locomotion. The electric motor in this automobile provides a much superior acceleration response and smoother cruising control than can be obtained from a turbojet engine directly. The turbojet engine runs an electric generator that powers a battery pack and the electric motor. This automobile is designed to balance the weight load of the turbojet engine located at the back end of the vehicle with the electric motor, battery pack, and transmission located at the front end of the automobile. The turbojet engine in this automobile can be fueled by ordinary jet fuel, kerosene, diesel, or solid aluminum fuels that have recently been developed. Consequently, this turbojet automobile can be environment friendly, economical, and a lot of fun to drive.

  • Publication number: 20070064856
    Abstract: The subject invention nuclear power systems consist of containers, or cells, filled with Neu2 particles. The particles are caused to interact in a high collision density that results from shock waves created by high explosives or strong electrical pulses on the cell casing. Neu2 particle interaction, or nuclear fusion of the particles, results in a release of so called binding energy. This new nuclear power system can serve as a source of power for commercial and industrial applications. The light weight and high power density systems are especially attractive for airplanes and spacecraft applications.

  • Publication number: 20070056210
    Abstract: The subject invention “Solid Fuel Power Systems” is for the purpose of generating heat and power for very many practical applications by use of exothermal chemical energy from the oxidation of the element aluminum. In addition, there is hydrogen-oxygen exothermal energy from reactions of hydrogen subsequently produced as a by-product. The energy produced from these reactions is equivalent to the energy content of gasoline. Aluminum is easily available in large quantities. It is economical to use, and is an environmentally friendly fuel. The concepts in this invention promise to make solid aluminum fuel the universal fuel of the future.

  • Publication number: 20070030940
    Abstract: In a Neutron Beam Interaction Station neutron particles are bound together to form new heavier nuclear particles. Neutron particle beams are focused in inhomogeneous magnetic fields between magnets in an array of magnets on either side of a neutron beam containment tube. The new particles have industrial, medical, and space exploration applications. The new particles are the basis for advanced nuclear power generating systems.

  • Publication number: 20070007468
    Abstract: This patent is for an inhomogeneous magnet field cyclotron that has no moving parts and no operating oscillating magnetic or electrical fields. This device or machine consists of any number of individual magnets designed to produce a strong inhomogeneous magnetic field with magnets placed front to back in a closed geometrical arrangement or ring called a “racetrack”. Electrical neutral particles with a magnetic moment are injected into the magnets and pass through a tunnel in each of the magnets and around the racetrack. The subject particles can be either accelerated or decelerated in the racetrack depending on the direction of travel, orientation of magnets, and the sign of particle magnetic moment. As a result of the inhomogeneous magnetic field gradient, a particle in the field experiences a magnetic force due to its magnetic moment. The net direction of the magnetic force on particles is along a line between the opposing magnetic poles.

  • Publication number: 20060045845
    Abstract: This patent application is for a new composition of matter called “neuX”. It consists of two or more fundamental particles, called neutrons, that have no electric charge and are bound together by the so-called “strong forces”. Units of neuX, which may consist of any number of neutrons, are for use in the creation of nuclear medicines and for therapeutic treatment to help cure all types of cancer, cancer bone pain, hyperthyroidism, polycythaemia, arthritis, and many other diseases. Units of neuX can also be used in the creation of many hydrogenous compounds, and other chemical compounds that have a variety of medical and industrial applications. NeuX units are formed of neutrons obtained from nuclear reactors, and also by many different nuclear reactions including the bombardment of certain elements, such as beryllium, with alpha particles from radioactive sources. Neutrons can be released by the irradiation of deuterium with high-energy gamma rays.
