  • Publication number: 20240124131
    Abstract: The invention discloses an aircraft generating a larger thrust and lift by fluid continuity. First open channels used to extend fluid paths are formed in front parts and/or middle parts of windward sides of wings of the aircraft and extend from sides, close to the fuselage, of the wings to sides, away from the fuselage, of the wings, and the first open channels are concave channels or convex channels, so that a pressure difference in a direction identical with a moving direction is generated from back to front due to different flow speeds of fluid flowing over the windward sides of the wings in a lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction to reduce fluid resistance, and a larger pressure difference and lift are generated due to different flow speeds on the windward sides and leeward sides of the wings.

  • Publication number: 20240083572
    Abstract: The present invention provides a power device generating greater propelling force and finds that traditional power devices do not include all propelling forces based on the fundamental core propelling force source problem. External pressure is guided to the traditional power devices since the inner speed is higher the outer speed, power consumption for overcoming fluid resistance is high, and mutual contradiction results are obtained. The unique difference between the present invention and general common sense lies in opposite fluid pressure directions; inner fluid channels and outer fluid channels with higher flow speeds are formed to generate pressure differences which guides the fluid pressure to the outside and serve as propelling force, thus the present invention creatively finds three propelling force sources, two lifting force or propelling force sources of helicopters or airplanes driven by propellers and two propelling force sources for sufficient burning of fuel in combustion chambers of engines.

  • Patent number: 10814921
    Abstract: Disclosed is an automobile, comprising an automobile body, wheels, a suspension device and a spoiler. The path of a fluid flowing through a lower spoiler surface is longer than the path of the fluid flowing through the upper spoiler surface, so that a lift force generated in the driving process of the automobile is reduced or even eliminated. The general understanding that the wheels bear the dead weight of the automobile, loads and all weights generated by the gravitational acceleration is changed. The dead weight of the automobile body is reduced by the lift force generated by the automobile body, the road holding of the automobile is improved after the wheels eliminate the lift force, and thus, the automobile can save more energy and can run more safely.
