TITLE: AMPHIBIOUS SPACE ROBOTIC SHUTTLE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a vehicle
capable of seamless interface between inland, ocean space
and atmospheric space with environment friendly
redundancy of renewable energy interfacing by amphibious
robotic shuttle, for inland and offshore interfacing of
energy sources and depots, and as inland rapid mass
transportation, offshore waterways and atmospheric space,
according to socially acceptable mapping of GPS robotic
established corridors for a viable Amphibious Space
Program potentially exceeding that of Outer Space in
safety.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Transportation and energy are synonymous with
prosperity. However they are also synonymous with
environment pollution, global warming and the burying of
the landscape at an alarming rate, the destruction of the
environment and wildlife globally - with highways,
railways high-voltage power lines and lately with the
proliferation of solar power stations and windmill farms
cluttering the landscape. At first, it seems that we
cannot have one without the other. This perception is
wrong - As is the scientific pursuit of the colonization
of outer space and supremacy by weapons and armies of
mass destruction. They are a misguided drain to our
financial and human resources and a hindrance to social
security, and to prosperity worldwide.
Abundant environment friendly perpetually
renewable electricity, oxygen, hydrogen and purified
water redundancy according to the subliminal recycling of
- 1 -
CA 02376659 2002-03-13
JJ-11 573CA
water powered by the sun's energy globally, is the
alternative solution to all these problems at once. The
conceptual embodiment assemblies for the harnessing of
virtual and subliminal energy have the potential to
radically improve our way of life, to contain global
warming, to provide abundant perpetual inexpensive
energy, worldwide. It is urgent that these conclusions be
confirmed by consortium of industries with complementary
technologies.
The irony with these subliminal complementary
technologies and proposals is that from a basic
viewpoint, there is hardly anything new about them, as if
everyone thought of them before, but chose to do nothing
about it. A renewable energy harnessing robotic shuttle
with the ability to exchange energy on land and offshore,
the recycling of water powered by the sun's energy, a
radial energy conversion propeller, the harnessing of
wind, waves, rivers and ocean currents, tidal power,
thunderstorms, ocean floor volcanoes, single handheld
virtual energy battery, hands free subliminal energy as
we walk naturally, the conversion of high rise buildings
cities to aesthetic wind energy harnessing, elevated
vehicle energizer highways interfacing the colonization
of submersible-space, ocean-space, and atmospheric-space,
to expand our domain tenfold, vehicles adapted for inland
highways, rivers lakes and the oceans over and above the
water surface, the harnessing of vehicle suspension
vibrations to improve their efficiency and comfort, etc.
The beauty of this is that these technologies are simple
and we can do it.
The potential solution for global warming peace
and prosperity worldwide with a new environment friendly
industrial expansion is perceived as having its origin in
the subliminal perpetual recycling of water powered by
the sun's energy. The colonization of ocean space

provides the option for GPS waterways according to

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The amphibious robotic shuttle according to the
present invention provides an on land or offshore vehicle
adaptable to alternative applications with minor
modifications to the basic vehicle. Which also functions
as vertical takeoff landing aircraft, as a surface and
submersible vessel for renewable energy harnessing, and
as an interface from inland and offshore energy sources
and depots. Is adapted for the redundancy of energy on a
demand basis according to a credit accord, provided on a
schedule or on a demand basis according to data
communications computer control and GPS mapping
navigation.
According to one aspect of the inland
operations the robotic shuttle has the ability to drive
along roads and highways directed to a particular river
location for the harnessing of river rapids. The site is
ideally adapted for enhanced efficiency and with
submersible pressurized oxygen, hydrogen and purified
water storage interfacing depot. The shuttle wades in and
- 3 -
CA 02376659 2002-03-13
JJ-11 573CA
anchors itself to the bottom by means of the hydraulic
suspension, according to satellite GPS data
communications. Then adapts to the renewable energy
conversion mode, by deploying the radial energy propeller
generator modules, which are coupled to generate
electricity into a common large capacity improved
electrolyzes. The servomotor generator electrolyzes
module compresses the oxygen, hydrogen and purified
filtered water into the respective high-pressure tanks.
Optionally, the rear robotic nozzle, space shuttle Canada
arm look alike, extends and couples into the interfacing
energy storage station and continues to operate on a
demand basis. Or it may optionally deliver its cargo by
hooking up directly to a transforming station interfacing
the power grid. Where the hydrogen rotary generator
provides redundancy of the pressurized oxygen, hydrogen
and water directly to electricity for a credit. Then
optionally relocates to exploit high energy density from
the same, or some other location.
According to one aspect of the offshore mode of
operation the robotic shuttle is directed to a particular
ocean current, or the harnessing of tidal power currents
both ways, or potentially for the harnessing of submerged
wave energy along the shorelines. The robotic shuttle has
the ability to function as surface vessel and as a
submarine and to travel at high speed under water with
the maneuverability of a sea lion. Provided by the
combined wheel and propeller servomotor drive according
to computer manual and autopilot. Once at the particular
harnessing site, the robotic shuttle extends the
hydraulic suspension or to deepwater anchor. The water
ballast tanks control system automatically provides the
appropriate specific gravity for the operation, similarly
to that of the river energy harnessing process. However,
the energy exchange within rivers and the oceans can also
- 4 -
CA 02376659 2002-03-13
JJ-11 573CA
be of a bilateral nature in which the robotic shuttle
provides the energy source, or just an interfacing means
and energy redundancy on a demand basis, either as
hydrogen fuel or as electricity, with the supply of
purified bottling water as an option.
Therefore, the robotic shuttle has the ability
to mutate and to adapt to numerous alternative functions
provided according to the basic embodiment alternatives
and computer programming ability. Potentially, it has the
ability to permeate throughout the whole spectrum of
renewable energy, including wind, waves, rivers, tidal
and ocean currents. And a uniquely adapted means of
environment friendly energy interfacing between inland
and the eventual colonization of ocean-space.
In yet another aspect of the potential numerous
alternative applications of the robotic shuttle basic
design, this one is directed to function as energy self-
sufficient oxygen, hydrogen, electricity and purified
water "tour bus" with the ability for inland, offshore
surface and potentially submarine operation. According to
satellite data communications and computer assisted GPS,

technologies. The radial frame reinforcing panels are
replaced with tinted molded plastic windows to provide
good scenery vision. A specified amount of stainless
steel pipe manifold is replaced with passenger seats, air
conditioning, luggage cargo bay and other amenities
required fox long trips, inland and offshore
alternatively, according to a specific schedule.
The great importance of the present invention
is in one aspect the subliminal potential amphibious
merging of inland highways, offshore surface and
submarine water-highways, and airways. With the
adaptation of robotic flight control modules of prior
art. This embodiment of the invention permits the robotic
- 5 -

to suit numerous applications. The servomotor generator
propellers in the hydrodynamic energy guide provide a
renewable energy conversion means for rivers waves and
ocean currents with the potential to make the robotic
shuttle energy self sufficient and for added linear
flight propulsion.
Still another embodiment of the invention
provides the basic robotic shuttle design adapted as a
larger scale renewable energy harnessing and exchange
embodiment, having a plurality of variable geometry
modules along the vertical and horizontal axis interfaced
to a robotic deepwater anchor. With the ability for
achieving high cruising speed, either as a surface vessel
or as a submarine of very large scale. As an interface
for shoreline renewable energy depot stations for a
credit, or adapted specifically as an energy source and
depot between the shoreline and offshore ocean space
stations.
A further very important aspect of the
invention is the mutation of the basic design into
robotic submersible energy exchange depot shuttles, with
the ability to relocate in rivers, lakes the shorelines
and offshore, in deep water and to take advantage of high
surrounding pressure. The hydrogen rotary generators
provide the conversion of hydrogen and water directly to
electricity on a demand basis to make ideal generation
stations to suit the particular applications. Optionally,
