A fundamentally new method of propulsion and more

I invented a new method of propulsion that’s unlike anything you’ve seen before. When I conceived the idea months ago, I thought it would be just a lab curiosity able to generate staggering amounts of force, but initially I didn’t realize how to harness it. Now I do, in a variety of ways that will spawn countless new products and improvements.

Here’s a practical example. Here is my 13,000-pound bulldozer (and one of my darling chickens! :-), which I use for pushing over large trees, pulling them, and digging up stumps too massive for the various tractors I’ve owned.

Now here is a picture of my smallest tractor (and another chicken!): a Craftsman sold by Sears (likely made by Simplicity) that my girlfriend disparages as a Kenmore because it is so wimpy. Its pulling power is so anemic I wondered if its gears were molded from plastic, yet despite that and its feeble frame, it could pull my bulldozer around like a toy if I added my new propulsion device, which can produce forces from zero to the sky is the limit.

Another example: Say a speeding freight train is about to broadside a packed school bus stalled on the tracks. The children are panicking and screaming in terror as the train with its blaring horn approaches. Current trains cannot stop in time. By adding my device (having it push the train backward instead of pulling forward), stopping the train is a piece of cake.

Another example (based on a true story and millions others like it): Say you’re on your first date, heading to the County Fair, when the young man you’re with suddenly turns left in front of an oncoming car. Perhaps he was distracted by your beauty, or perhaps he was nervous and inexperienced—whatever the case, he jerked in front of a car traveling too fast for it to stop in time. Result? What happened in this case was that the young lady was instantly killed. Had the oncoming car been equipped with my device, she would have spent the day at the Fair and perhaps that night sent me a note thanking me for inventing it.

Another example: a would-be rapist holds a knife to the throat of a woman, commanding her to obey. She has something else in mind. Pulling out her gun? No, she doesn’t have one; she has something more powerful: my device, which can propel anything, including rapists into kingdom come.

Another example: An enraged grizzly is charging you at close range. You’re armed with a camera, not a gun—not that a firearm would do much good, as experienced bear hunters know. My device that can knock down trees and buildings can knock down a bear, just hard enough to stagger him (what I’d recommend, being a lover of animals) or, if need be, enough to pulverize him more thoroughly than an elephant rifle could.

Another example: Say you are the United States Secretary of the Navy and want ships propelled without propellers and steered without rudders. You want markedly better performance with significantly less susceptibility to damage. You want my innovation.

Another example: A car slides off the road in front of you, down an embankment. Call for a tow truck? Why bother? Just use my device to pull the car out. Incidentally, the car would not have slid off the road if it were equipped with my device, even if the surface was wet ice.

Another example: effectively circumventing Newton's third law (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) to produce a reactionless drive: “a device producing motion without the exhaust of a propellant.” NASA has long dreamed of this (and they are well aware of how Newton's third law and the law of conservation of momentum seem to make this a pipe dream), eventually finding the Cannae Drive “can harness microwave radiation inside a resonator, turning electricity into … small amounts of [net] thrust without the use of propellant.” When they say small, they mean small: “between 30 and 50 micro-Newtons … only enough to levitate a mass of three to five milligrams (a few eyelashes).”

My system is better: it can produce any thrust, from tiny to huge, and I can do it with a truly closed system reactionless drive. This has a number of possible applications on Earth, such as boats moving without propellers (or jet drives), snowmobiles without tracks, and toboggans without hills. Skiers wouldn’t need slopes, hovercraft wouldn’t need an air cushion, and hoverboards wouldn’t need hype or electromagnetic repulsion limiting their range to a small track.

Airplanes wouldn’t need wings, which create aerodynamic drag wasting energy and safety problems when they ice up or fall off. Cars wouldn’t need tires or roads, so flying cars and jetpacks (without jets) would be feasible, as would flying saucers (“UFOs”) that allegedly can silently hover, then dart away, zipping in a flight path no known aircraft or spacecraft can match. The most basic implementation of my system excels in producing large forces very rapidly, so this 3-D darting in any direction is a piece of cake for it; the trick was controlling it to produce more moderate and sustained forces, such as for hovering, but I figured that out.

I could fill a thick book with other examples, from small power tools to new ways to move mountains.

Pop quiz: What struck you about the second picture showing the tractor pulling the lawn sweeper?

Answer: Note the sweeper passed over the area behind it without removing many leaves (yes, the sweeper is full but it often fails just as miserably when empty). Lawn sweepers sometimes work OK but often don’t. I have a solution to that problem, too (BTW, it is unrelated to my propulsion device).

UPDATE regarding car accidents: Video shows deadly 55-car pileup, big rig explode on I-95 in Baltimore shows horrific video of a 55-car accident that killed at least two. Recently there was a similarly massive accident in Michigan, and every day I hear of other accidents injuring people who could have been saved by my innovations.

According to the World Health Organization, 20 to 50 million people are injured in car accidents every year and almost 1.24 million die as a result: about as many as are killed by HIV/AIDS. Car accidents cause $518 billion globally in property damage—over $5 trillion per decade.

My breakthroughs* will significantly reduce those losses and hence slash auto insurance rates. The protection they provide is so compelling that consumers would shun cars lacking it, thus it would be a game-changer for automakers, who will need it to survive.

*: I previously developed technology to achieve the same effect but using a different operational principle that significantly improves steering and braking. No matter what the surface—icy, wet ice, slushy, snowy, sand, gravel, mud, dry—I can make any car stop quicker than supercars on dry roads or the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition, which Motor Trend reported braked from 60 – 0 mph in 93 feet. This technology can be used in standard or driverless cars.

These methods are easily demonstrated visually in videos I took; I wish I could post them here but everyone familiar with worldwide patent law knows why I cannot.

Skeptical? I don’t blame you. Few venture capitalists continually on the prowl for new technologies ever find one this fundamental with so many potential applications. I will gladly demonstrate my breakthrough to qualified investors or companies.

I will also demonstrate it to wealthy curmudgeons certain it won’t work if they pay me $10,000,000 if it does; if it doesn’t work, they pay me nothing and get something in return: a videotape of the demonstration they can use any way they wish. In case you wish to accept that offer, salivating in anticipation of using the video to validate your skepticism as you howl in laughter to manifest your crab mentality, then put your money where your mouth is instead of posting a snarky comment in which you will join the ranks of other small minds in history who just knew inventions we now take for granted were impossible pipe dreams. I obviously would not make this offer unless I knew that it works.
