Doubt you could spend $40,000. Anyone can check the link. $620.00 is the highest search fee they charge and that is for a utility search fee which is probably what you would have needed.

40k is for the Atty to do the search. I dont doubt it. ;]  They have the experience in doing so. I did my own search for a simple idea. I spent a lot of time doing so. But I didnt have to pay any fees at the time either.  ;]

I was also thinking the $40k included the fees to the Atty's to *write* the patent.  It is very detailed.

Every time I use spell check it deletes my post -
Hello Mags,
Not for 'just the patent search' - Those were my fee's so far - we still have much more to go.
I also did my own search  - when it came time to really sink my life into this, I had to make sure I was not treading on others work.
Thanks Wayne

Opps gotta run

@Wayne - great discovery.





But by correctly adding another Travis Effect layer the lift height would go back to 1 Ft as each would lift 6 inches, but now with 370 pounds of lift.

If it was further adjusted so that the lift height of each is 3 inches, it would require 4 layers to lift 1 Ft with 740 pounds of lift. The Travis effect now only requires .11 of the total force required by Archimedes.
The other upside to multiple layers is that it make his buoyancy machine incredibly fast to pressurize and unpressurize while providing an ever greater lift.

This is with 144 square inches surface area, his current at 707 square inches is a monster.

Bottom line: It would help greatly, if more here would just try to understand the unlimited potential of the Travis effect and less on the working of the current system. None of us here, can hope to equal the combined engineering capabilities of the current team.

Hi Larry,
you kindly provided a great explanation of the principle, and I was able to follow it up to this point.
But now, can you please expand on how to correctly add another Travis effect layer?
BTW, it just has occurred to me that air can be replaced by a liquid, oil for example. Pumping liquids is much more efficient than pumping air, could add up
to the efficiency of the device.
