Abstract: A wall panel that has a reflective barrier of an aluminized biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BPET) between an OSB panel, and an industrial grade paper (which is pressed to look like natural wood grain). The aluminized BPET can be integrated into the industrial paper to become one sheet. This wall panel could be applied to interior paneling, drywall or gypsum board, as desired. Another option is to sandwich the aluminized BPET between the industrial paper and the reflective barrier, a layer of self-sealing asphalt. This makes the wall panel waterproof and airtight and helps to keep intact the engineered wood integrity. The aluminized BPET could go between a layer of insulation or particle board and its laminate. The panel's BPET should have a flap of an inch or so on one side to help with air sealing. This creates a barrier between varying temperatures, and adds an R value, and helps keep a building cool.

Abstract: An amphibious vehicle that has combined structure of a snowmobile and a small water craft. The device has a front track that is connected to a steering mechanism of a snowmobile. A seat is provided for one or more riders. A track drives the snow mobile and helps to propel the boat when on water. However, the device also has a jet drive attached to the drive system of the motor. A water intake that is also driven by the motor is also provided to ensure adequate water for the jet drive. The device is steered with a handlebar much like a snowmobile. And can be easily moved from land to water and back to land again. The invention can be used for recreation, by first responders, or by other industry or government operations. Moreover, the invention can augment existing amphibious vehicles.
