Appl. No.:

10/997657

Inventors:

Joseph Pellegrino - Sayville NY, US

International Classification:

F03H 1/00

US Classification:

060203100

Abstract:

This invention is a device(s) that will utilize the power of photons to transfer their energy to electrons in turn transferring their energy to another object of mass that the casing(s) of the drive will be connected to by bombarding a wall of a negative electric field. This energy will then be transferred to the object this device(s) is connected to causing it to move in the same direction of the flow of the electrons. In theory the device(s) should cause movement up to ⅓ the speed of light. This will aid NASA any others that need or want to travel the solar system(s) in a more reasonable time frame. The fundamental principal behind the propulsion is the same as the solar sail. When high energy particles hit something, some of their energy is transferred to that object, and when the electrons are hit by photons of high energy, the photons energy is transferred to the electron and then in turn when the electron's energy is then transferred to the wall it hits and whatever it's connected to. I do suggest, though, that this drive be used in outer space and be lifted first from the earth via some other propulsion like a rocket. I do not feel currently it can produce enough “net force” to break away from earth's gravity on it's own.

Abstract:

A multiport selector valve incorporates a polished interface between a respective poppet of each port and a displaceable valve spool. A controlled gap exists between each poppet and its respective port fitting to pressurize a recess in which an O-ring is seated during operation of the valve. This results in the O-ring seal being urged against a confronting surface of the poppet which increases the contact force between optical surfaces of the poppet and the spool, particularly during periods of dynamic flow. The construction of the valve results in a unit of high reliability and useful life with attendant reduction of replacement costs.
