This invention is a method for greatly increasing the power from a windmill The essential elements of the method are an air flow entering a nozzle leading to the propeller or fan of a windmill. The nozzle is shaped to converge so as to bring about an isentropic increase in the flow velocity through the nozzle, which may if desired reach sonic speed. The process is isentropic so that no extra energ...

The Pressure Differential Equalizing System, is a "collectivity" of flexible fibrils, and tubules of varying lengths and diameters. The "System's" components enable bodies to move through air or fluids more efficiently by equalizing pressure differentials forming on their surfaces thereby reducing turbulences that impede motion. The "System's" components' micro and macro attach and release points ...
