Artificial Buoyancy Lifting Device Using Coupled Electrostatic Pistons Method and Apparatus
20230227143 · 2023-07-20 ·

A method of creating aeronautical lift is described which uses a fast voltage electrostatic force to rapidly simultaneously move the top and bottom surfaces of a lifting device downward, followed by a slow voltage electrostatic force to slowly simultaneously return the top and bottom surfaces to their original positions. This cyclic movement reduces downward air pressure on the top surface of the lifting device and increases air pressure on the bottom surface of the lifting device, thus producing aeronautical lift.

Control and stabilization of a flight vehicle from a detected perturbation by tilt and rotation
11586226 · 2023-02-21 · ·

A flight vehicle control and stabilization process detects and measures an orientation of a non-fixed portion relative to a fixed frame or portion of a flight vehicle, following a perturbation in the non-fixed portion from one or both of tilt and rotation thereof. A pilot or rider tilts or rotates the non-fixed portion, or both, to intentionally adjust the orientation and effect a change in the flight vehicle's direction. The flight vehicle control and stabilization process calculates a directional adjustment of the rest of the flight vehicle from this perturbation and induces the fixed portion to re-orient itself with the non-fixed portion to effect control and stability of the flight vehicle. The flight vehicle control and stabilization process also detects changes in speed and altitude, and includes stabilization components to adjust flight vehicle operation from unintentional payload movement on the non-fixed portion.
