20110057754METHODS & SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING A GRAVITY-NEUTRAL REGION BETWEEN TWO COUNTER-ROTATING MAGNETIC SOURCES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ECE THEORY - Methods and systems for creating a local anti-gravity region are defined. The anti-gravity region is created between two counter-rotating magnetic sources. The magnetic sources can be permanent magnets, magnetized material, or a combination of both. Matter in the induced anti-gravity region obviously behaves as in a zero-gravity environment, such as outer space. Processes conducted in the anti-gravity region can experience increased efficiency. The anti-gravity effect is generated by the electromagnetic fields, of the counter-rotating magnetic sources, resonating with the torsion of spacetime. This resonance causes the potential of the electromagnetic fields to be amplified, in accordance with the new ECE (Einstein-Cartan-Evans)-Theory of physics. ECE-Theory shows gravitation and electromagnetism are both defined as manifestations of the curvature of spacetime.03-10-2011
20110062802METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A MAGNETIC-ACTIVATED PISTON DRIVEN PROPULSION SYSTEM NOT REQUIRING AN INTERNAL-COMBUSTION PROCESS - A common V-8 type internal-combustion engine, of the type in wide use by today's automotive and nautical industries, is modified to operate with magnetic fields instead of internal-combustion. The internal-combustion process is eliminated, along with engine components required for the internal-combustion process. This can reduce engine size and weight. The pistons of such a modified V-8 type engine are driven by magnetic fields which are aligned by the control system of the modified V-8 type engine. The engine and control system are powered by electrical energy derived directly from spacetime. This electrical energy is produced using principles of Evans-Cartan-Einstein (ECE)-Theory to achieve spin-connection-resonance (SCR), thus amplifying the potential energy of spacetime. The resulting amplified potential energy is feed (as electrical energy) to the modified V-8 engine. Thus, this type of engine does not require gasoline type fuel, generates no exhaust, has a renewable power source, and a near zero environmental footprint.03-17-2011
20120105181SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCING GRAVITY-NEUTRAL REGIONS BETWEEN MAGNETIC FIELDS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ECE-THEORY - Methods and systems for creating a local anti-gravity region are defined. The anti-gravity region is created between two counter-rotating magnetic fields. The magnetic field sources can be permanent magnets, magnetized material, or a combination of both. Matter in the induced anti-gravity region obviously behaves as in a zero-gravity environment, such as outer space. Processes conducted in the anti-gravity region can experience increased efficiency. The anti-gravity effect is generated by the electromagnetic fields, of the counter-rotating magnetic sources, resonating with the torsion of spacetime. This resonance causes the potential of the electromagnetic fields to be amplified, maximizing the effect of the electric field in a direction opposite to gravitation. This anti-gravity effect is in accordance with the new ECE (Einstein-Cartan-Evans)-Theory of physics. ECE-Theory shows gravitation and electromagnetism are both defined as manifestations of the curvature of spacetime.05-03-2012

20130175895SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING BOTH ELECTRIC POWER AND MECHANICAL POWER, USING MAGNETICS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ECE-THEORY - Methods and systems for generating electric energy and mechanical power using principles of ECE-Theory are presented. The electric energy function uses an old Faraday Disk generator type system. Uniquely, it is embedded in a crossfield device (CFD). The CFD is based on ECE-Theory, and provides the external magnetic field (and a reduced gravity environment) for the generator portion of the crossfield-homopolar device. The device functions as both a generator and a motor. This anti-gravity effect is in accordance with the new ECE (Einstein-Cartan-Evans)-Theory of physics. ECE-Theory shows gravitation and electromagnetism are both defined as manifestations of the curvature of spacetime.07-11-2013

20080229664Two Piece Carrier and Balance Assembly - A carrier and balance assembly for installation into the jamb channel of a window frame. The carrier and balance assembly are capable of being installed into the jamb channel optionally either as a single assembly or as two separate components. The two separate components are the carrier and a hanger-balance subassembly. The advantage of installing the carrier and balance assembly as two separate components is that such installation can occur after the assembly of the window frame and even after installation of the window into the wall of a building. Once the carrier and hanger-balance subassembly are separately installed in the jamb channel, they are then non-permanently locked together. Should any part of the carrier and balance assembly become damaged, replacement is performed by simply reversing the process described above without having to damage the jamb channel.09-25-2008
