Filed:

Sep 30, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/586910

Inventors:

Steven Roger Brandon - Tucson AZ, US

International Classification:

G02B 5/08

US Classification:

359856

Abstract:

This device uses mirrors and the optical effect of parallax to create the optical illusion of an infinite regression of reflections in those mirrors. Mirrors are attached, facing inwards, to the four inner sides of a box, and a mirror is attached to the bottom facing upwards. Mirrors that reflect on one side but can be seen through when looking from the other side are generally known as “see through” or “one way” mirrors. The front side of the box has viewing portals and a one way “see through” mirror through which the viewer can look directly from outside the box into the line of sight for the reflections inside the box without the viewer's reflection showing in the mirrors. Thus, the viewer sees a nearly infinite chain of reflections in the mirrors because of the optical effect of parallax and because the viewer's reflection is in spite of the fact that the viewer is looking directly into a mirror because the viewer's reflection is hidden by the “one way” see through mirror in the front.

Appl. No.:

12/658400

Inventors:

Steven Roger Brandon - Tucson AZ, US

International Classification:

B64B 1/20

US Classification:

244 25

Abstract:

This invention, the “aerochute,” creates a body suit full of helium and a flexible cloth wing above the user powered by a horizontally-orientated rocket jet pack that the user uses to “fly” through the air through the combination of the lift from the helium and the thrust from a rocket jet pack. The helium suit contains pockets of airtight helium that effectively reduce the weight of the individual, making him lighter and thus more susceptible to being lifted and thrust by the rocket jet pack. The wing is hollow and contains extra helium to give more lift to the user or “aeronaught.” The rocket jet pack gives thrust and direction to the individual flying the helium wing. Working in combination, the body suit with the packets of helium, the hollow wing, and the rocket jet pack combine to give the individual the ability to fly over extended distances at low altitudes.
