VIAREA III Specification
This invention relates to a vehicle that employs principles of Newton's
Third Law of Motion to achieve locomotion through hydraulic force.
Rather than using fuel technology that is dirty, dangerous, toxic,
wasteful, heavy, inefficient, non-efficient, non-renewable, and
depending on means used) possibly radioactive; this system's engine
uses technology that is clean, non-consuming, recyclable, reliable and
safe in virtually all media, including outer space.
Further, there need not be an external propeller to push or pull it, which
can itself be damaged by various flotsam and jetsam residing in the
water. Further, it can cause great harm to sea life during usage.
I have found that these disadvantages can be overcome through the
placement of "VIAREA" propulsion units within the hull of the ship, on
one or more decks of the craft, the which units will themselves push the
structure through the water by means of conjoined 'action' and
'reaction' forces. I.e. the action force and the reaction force are both
largely imposed in the same 'forward' direction.
Large diameter pipes are assembled such that they form adjacent loops.
Within each loop is a thrusting propeller which sends fluid (whether
liquid or gas)* around the inside of the pipe. The interior of the pipe
loop must be very smooth such that resistance to flow is minimal. Upon
reaching an obstacle halfway around the loop the fluid imposes 'action'
force against it. The thrusting unit itself imposes 'reaction' force against
the supporting structure. An adjacent (paired) loop also has a similar
thrusting element within it which pushes the fluid in the mirror
opposite direction such that the two loops match action and reaction
forces equally.
Note that while 0 Plan loops might in fact be oval in design (as is
depicted in Figure 1) they are mainly shown as circles for the sake of
simplicity of recognition.
The loops are installed as complimentary pairs so that constancy of
force direction is achieved.

Note also: Loop, hose, pipe, are terms used interchangeably.
Variations in the design of the loop systems are as follows:
1. The loops are the same diameter throughout their whole circulation.
While 'mirrored' thrusters exist on the near/proximal side of each
adjacent loop, an obstacle in the form of a grid exists within the
loops opposite/athwart of their thrusters such that when the fluid is
pushed it travels relatively unimpeded until it reaches the
grid/screen at which point it releases 'action' force upon the loop's
support structure.
2. The loops are the same diameter throughout their whole circulation.
While mirrored thrusters exist on the near side of each adjacent
loop, an obstacle in the form of a constriction exists within the loops
opposite their thrusters such that when the fluid is pushed it travels
relatively unimpeded until it reaches the constriction at which point
it releases 'action' force upon the loop's support structure.
3. The loops are the same large diameter for the first half of the
circulatory journey of the fluid, but are constricted for the
second/back half of the circulation, at which point it releases 'action'
force upon the loop's support structure.
4. The loops are the same large diameter for the first half of the
circulatory journey of the fluid, but come to an abrupt turn into
cross pipes upon reaching halfway in the circuits, and it is
constricted for the second/back half of the circulation, at which
point it releases 'action' force upon the loops' support structure.
5. While all the above design options receive power from a single
power/motor source because that source stands immediately
between thruster pairs, the thruster pairs may instead be placed
remotely from each other. In which case each thruster may be
motivated by its own dedicated power source. That power source
may be placed within the loop void (edenarium) for
convenience/room efficiency. This design allows the independent
thrusters to serve as steering helpers too, as the action-reaction
forces of each can be different from the other, and/or loop units may
be installed upon turrets/turntables which can adjusted to provide
optimal thrust turn and headway results.
6. Loop pairings may also be stacked deck-on-deck in addition to, or
instead of, placing each pairing only adjacent to one another.
CA 3181441 2022-11-02
7. Loop pairings may be mounted on turntables, allowing them to be
turned in toto, in order to travel virtually immediately in a different
direction.
8. The thrusters of every loop (whether '0' plan or 'D' plan) may each
have an independent/dedicated motor such that with one side of the
matching pair 'on' and the other side 'off' the internal loops can help
to steer the vessel. I.e. it is not only the rudder that steers.
9. The cross pipes of a D plan may be as large as the loop pipes (instead
of being constricted), and the action and reaction catch depend
solely on the resistance present where the abrupt turn must be made
by the fluid agent/river.
10. The cross pipes of a D plan may be constricted vis a vis the loop pipes
and the action and reaction catch depend also on the resistance
present where the abrupt turn must be made by the fluid agent/river.
n. Certain pipes may have flat sides, allowing easier access to the loop
interior, so that servicing of the motor, etc. is made easier too.
* in this case the agency fluid is water. (where air ships are the vessels
air/gas may be used instead)

Figure 38 is a top view of a ship's deck carrying three D loops: two
which are in fixed state to send the ship forward; one which is secured
to a turret which (in this drawing) turns the ship to port, according to
the turn of the turret.
Figure 39 is a top view of a ship's deck carrying three D loops: two
which are in fixed state to send the ship forward; one which is secured
to a turret which (in this drawing) turns the ship to port, according to
the turn of the turret. In this case the cross pipe of each is constricted
relative to the size of the semicircular pipes, to further constitute a
catching element.
Figure 40 is a top view of an 0 loop which is actually an oval shape
comprised of several sections (as in Figure 1), but has a constricted
catching section that extends through about half of the circuit.
Figure 41 is a top view of an 0 loop plan (as in Figure 2) that has a
constricted catching section that extends through about half of the

Figure 42 is a side view in section and in X-ray of a D plan loop in which
the semicircular pipe is round but the cross pipe has flat sides and is
relatively constricted relative to the semicircular pipes.
Figure 43 is a side view in section and in X-ray of a D plan loop in which
the semicircular pipe and the cross pipe both have flat sides. This design
also features steps over and across the constricted cross pipe which
CA 3181441 2022-11-02
allow for easier access to the void within the loop wherein is housed the
power source.
The travel system unit illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a closed loop in
the form of a large oval (or round) pipe 4, which is juxtaposed to
another (not shown in this iteration) on a horizontal plane. Each loop
contains a rim driven thruster 9 which pushes a 'river' of water 21 (or
other fluid) via impeller blades 14 in a closed circuit. At a point halfway
around the circuit the fluid encounters a choke point 25 which receives
'action' force of the fluid.
The rim driven thruster is motivated by a power source io [not shown.]
whose power is sent via sprocket chain from the power source io to the
rim drive 9.
The resulting flow direction 18 produces a contrary 'reaction' effect on
the support structure of the carrying vessel/ship. Both the action force
and the reaction force are consequently in like direction and the vessel
supporting the loop must respond accordingly in an imposed direction
19 in common to both forces.
Note that while this unit can itself propel a vehicle, it is recommended
that it be used as one of a mirror pair of such units in order to assure
equalized thrust.
Note also that the advantage to using an 0 plan loop rather than a D
plan, is that vehicle direction may be changed/reversed simply by
changing/reversing the propeller direction of the thrusters. A
disadvantage is that it consumes more deck area.
Figure 2 is a top view of an "0" plan embodiment showing a complete
loop in which the catcher/receiver of the action force is a screen 24
instead of a pinch point.
The travel system illustrated in Figure 3A comprises a pair of closed
loops in the form of two large round pipes 21 in cross section, each
juxtaposed to the other on a horizontal plane. Each loop contains a rim
driven thruster 9 which pushes water (or other fluid) 21 via impeller
blades 14 in a closed circuit. The two loops are essentially the same in
nature except that the obstacle halfway around each loop is a grid 24
instead of a choke point constriction.

chain 23.

Figure 12 is a top view of "D" plan loops 20 where the thrusters 9, found
athwart are each driven by its own power source io. The fluid agent is
directed first through low-resistance large pipes 1, and are slow flowing,
but at halfway must turn and enter a cross pipe 2 and become fast
flowing 21. At this point the 'action' force is received to compliment the
reaction force: 19.

which it is attached. At the other end of the cross pipe 2 the "rection"
force 45 (from the thruster 9)is received in like direction 19.
Figure 27 is a plan view of a ship's deck carrying fourteen 0 plan loops.
Each carries its own power source [not shown]. The "0" loop plan
utilizes constriction/choke points 25 to catch the action of the fluid
flow 18. Choke points at bow 37 and stern 38 are offset from others to
further allow balance to the scheme. The resulting directing force 19 is
forward.
Figure 28 is a plan view of a ship's deck carrying fourteen 0 plan loops.
Each carries its own power source [not shown]. The "0" loop plan
utilizes grid barriers 24 to catch the action of the fluid flow 18. Grid
points at bow 37 and stern 38 are offset from others to further allow
balance to the scheme. The resulting directing force 19 is forward.
Figure 29 is a plan view of a ship's deck carrying fourteen 0 plan loops.
Each carries its own power source [not shown]. The "0" loop plan
utilizes constriction/choke points 25 to catch the action of the fluid
flow 18. Choke points at bow 37 and stern 38 are offset from others to
further allow balance to the scheme. The resulting directing force 19 is
forward. In this case multiple adjacent propellers 46 are used.
Figure 30 is a plan view of a ship's deck carrying fourteen 0 plan loops.
Each carries its own power source [not shown]. The "0" loop plan
utilizes grid barriers 24 to catch the action of the fluid flow 18. Grid
points at bow 37 and stern 38 are offset from others to further allow
balance to the scheme. The resulting directing force 19 is forward. In
this case multiple adjacent propellers 46 are used.
Figure 31 is a plan view of a ship's deck carrying fourteen 0 plan loops.
Each carries its own power source [not shown]. The "0" loop plan
utilizes a sustained constriction/choke section 47 to catch the action of
the fluid flow 18. Bow 37 and stern 38 loops each have their own power
source, while the middle loop pairs share power from motors io
amidships. The bow and stern loops are also fixed to turrets 32. The
resulting directing force 19 is forward.

Figure 32 is a plan view of a ship's deck carrying fourteen D plan loops.
Bow 37 and stern 38 loops each have their own power source, while the
middle loop pairs share power from motors io amidships. The bow and
stern loops are also fixed to turrets 32 and require counterweights 35
opposite the weight of the river fluid 18, etc. The resulting directing
force 19 is forward.
Figure 33 is a plan view of a ship's deck carrying fourteen 0 plan loops.
Each carries its own power source [not shown]. The "0" loop plan
utilizes a sustained constriction/choke section 47 to catch the action of
the fluid flow 18. Bow 37 and stern 38 loops each have their own power
source, while the middle loop pairs share power from motors io
amidships (as in Figure 31). The bow and stern loops are also fixed to
turrets 32. The vessel is turned to starboard this time owing to the
starboard turn of the bow 37 loops, and the port turn of the stern 38
loops.
Figure 34 is a plan view of a ship's deck carrying fourteen D plan loops.
Bow 37 and stern 38 loops each have their own power source, while the
middle loop pairs share power from motors io amidships. The bow and
stern loops are also fixed to turrets 32 and require counterweights 35
opposite the weight of the river fluid 18, etc. The vessel is turned to
starboard this time owing to the starboard turn of the bow 37 loops, and
the port turn of the stern 38 loops.
Figure 35 is a cross section of lower decks 22 of a ship, in which are held
0 plan loop sets: side by side, and over-and-under (on adjacent decks).
All the loop thrusters 9 are each powered by a motor io located within
each loop void 7. A transition set of wheels 34 tranfer the power from
the motor to the thruster 9. The "action" catcher in each is a choke point
25 found half way around the loop from its thruster.

Figure 37 is a cross section of lower decks 22 of a ship, in which are held
0 plan loop sets: side by side, and over-and-under (on adjacent decks).
All the loop thrusters 9 are each powered by a motor io located within
each loop void 7. A transition set of wheels 34 tranfer the power from
the motor to the thruster 9. The "action" catcher in each is a grid work
24 found half way around the loop from its thruster.
Figure 38 is a plan view of a vessel carrying three D plan loops. The loop
at the bow end 37 is mounted on a turret 32 which also carries an
offsetting counter weight 35, and is directed forty five degrees to port. In
this case the cross pipe 2 of the loop is the same diameter as the
semicircular pipe 1 and depends only on the abrupt change in flow
direction to catch the "action" force.
Figure 39 is a plan view of a vessel carrying three D plan loops. The loop
at the bow end 37 is mounted on a turret 32 which also carries an
offsetting counter weight 35, and is directed forty five degrees to port. In
this case the cross pipe 2 of the loop is a smaller diameter than the
semicircular pipe 1 and so contributes with the abrupt change in flow
direction to catch the "action" force.
Figure 40 is a plan view of an 0 plan loop (such as is illustrated in
Figure 1), in which half of the loop, beginning directly behind the
thruster 9, is constricted, thus affording further 'cause and effect' action
and reaction results in vehicle response.
However, this design prohibits the ability to change direction by
reversing the spin of the thruster 9.
Figure 41 is a plan view of an 0 plan loop (such as is illustrated in
Figure 2), in which half of the loop, beginning directly behind the
thruster 9, is constricted, thus affording further 'cause and effect' action
and reaction results in vehicle response.
However, this design prohibits the ability to change direction by
reversing the spin of the thruster 9.

Figure 42 is a cross section in X-ray of a D plan loop in which the
semicircular pipe]. is round, but the cross pipe 2 has flat sides 42 and is
constricted relative to the semicircular pipe 1. The flat sides feature
allows such cross pipe to be built in place easier, and in this case also
allows steps 43 to be placed across the pipe to permit easier access to the
motor 10, which is within the loop void.
Figure 43 is a cross section in X-ray of a D plan loop in which the
semicircular pipe i and the cross pipe 2 both have flat sides 42. The
cross pipe is constricted relative to the semicircular pipe 1. The flat sides
feature allows the pipes to be built in place easier, and also allows steps
43 to be placed across the pipe to permit easier access to the motor
which is within the loop void 7.
Figure 44 is a partial cross section of a ship's decks 22 where a D plan
loop is mounted on one deck, and the power source io for the thruster 9
is mounted on a lower deck 22. Power is sent from the motor io to the
thruster 9 via sprocket chain 15 that reaches the thruster through let-
through holes 48 in the deck between them.
NOTE: an advantage to using the "0" plan circular loop having a short-
extent catch point halfway around is that the supportive vessel can be
placed into a "reverse" direction simply be reversing the direction of the
loop thruster.
An advantage of using the "D" plan semicircular loop is that less volume
of fluid is needed to fill each unit, and consequently less weight is
imposed on the vehicle. Such loops also require less deck area.
