Local inventor, Sapoty Brook, has applied for a patent on a proposed new method of flight which separates the air in front of the aircraft before the aircraft enters it. He claims this technology reduces air resistance and produces forward thrust on the aircraft from atmospheric pressure.

Mr Brook says the principle is analogous to a person running through a crowd shouting "Excuse me, excuse me!" The louder he shouts the quicker people get out of his way and the faster he can run. However with this invention the air provides the added advantage of pushing the aircraft from behind.

The invention, which he calls "excuser technology", uses hydrogen and oxygen as the fuel which is burnt in the air surrounding the aircraft. Heat from the resulting steam is absorbed by specially positioned cooled surfaces on the aircraft. "Rapid condensation can produce an implosion of the steam with transient side effects of low pressure and low density," says Mr Brook. "These contribute to the reduction of air resistance and production of thrust."

One of the potential benefits of this technology is that it is completely pollution free: the exhaust gas is steam," he says. "My aim is to get as many independent people working on this as possible to give it the best chance of success. With environmental catastrophes starting to happen it is a matter of urgency to make the transition to a hydrogen economy."

Creating a business called Excusertech with an online presence at excusertech.com, he wants to provide a technology exchange centre to support individuals and groups interested in research and development in excuser technology. "Right now we need researchers who can discover the key principles for efficient operation. It is similar to the decades before the Wright brothers when many people were trying to work out the best shape for a wing."

"The excuser technology could also be used in water. It is interesting to consider what maximum speeds could be reached in air or water if drag is substantially reduced," he says. "Hydrogen has the property that after its explosion, an implosion can be produced in the right conditions."

Mr Brook says he searched the U.S. patent database and found no similar patents to his invention.

He will give a presentation, "A New Potential for Flight", at 7pm on Thursday 10th Nov. in The Studio Room at the Byron Community Centre ($10) RSVP to:
