Perreault Disappointed with Patterson's Declining a Demo of His Ram Implosion Wing at the EO Tech Conf.

In Defense of my RIW Technology

I didn’t bring my van to the conference with the new wing on it because I lost mileage due to several reasons, 1) the FloScan fuel sensor caused excessive back pressure on the gas tank and caused the fuel to run out the overflow system. It took time to resolve this issue in part due to the stress of gearing up for the conference.

Also I tried to cut corners concerning the fabrication of the wing and it backfired on me. The wing that was mounted on Dan MacBolen’s 4x4 truck was very rough but it was left in that condition for a specific reason, which was to cause the air not to stick to the wing in order to form vacuum cohesion vs. a laminar viscosity as applied in conventional aerodynamics which would have decreased the fuel enhancements that we were getting. The rough surface equates to the dimpled texture placed on the surface of a golf ball to decrees the wake signature of the ball on its flight through the air. In like manner the wing requires a selective texture so I just left it rough for test purposes.

I apologized to Bruce Perreault just as soon as I was introduced to him and explained the reasons, which I cited above, explaining why I was forced to stand him up. He was upset because he had to rent a car to take himself to the University some 40-min distance from the conference site where he had intended to conduct some research. I never promised a demo to anyone other than Bruce. I assume Eric Krieg is the person with the photos as Bruce mentions he took photos on behalf of Eric Krieg. Ironically Eric Krieg has not allowed me to post on his f/e website ever sense I challenged him for the $10-K prize he offers for demonstrating an overunity technology. That technology being the Ram-Implo-Wing, one-gallon of gas using the wing tripled the mileage, and when I confronted Eric with this technology he claimed it was nothing more than a device that manipulates the aerodynamics of the vehicle and therefore did not qualify as an overunity technology.

Riblets V shaped grooves

V-shaped grooves called Riblets. These grooves inhibit the motion of eddies by preventing them from coming very close to the surface of a wing. By applying these V-shaped grooves to the surface of the wing the Riblets prevent eddies from transporting high-speed fluid close to the surface where it decelerates and saps the aircraft's momentum. These and other concepts are being applied by NASA at the Langley Research Center, which demonstrated that use of the V-shaped grooves leads to a 5 to 6 percent reduction of viscous drag. To be effective, the Riblets must be very closely spaced, like phonograph grooves on a record.

It would seem that nature endorses this concept, the skin of a shark has tiny tooth-like denticles called "photomicrographs" that serve the same function as the Riblets, lessening the drag on the shark as it moves through the water.  (Ref: Scientific American January 1997 Tackling Turbulence with Supercomputers by Parviz Moin and John Kim pp. 62-68)

There are many reasons wings are shaped the way they are; in fact the only way through space-time is flight, that is flight with fixed wings. Some wings are swept back to control shock waves while others are swept forward to form shock waves actually taking advantage of riding on or in the shock waves.

The compression lift rule, the idea is to arrange the aircraft and its surfaces so shock waves form and actually reinforce one another to provide lift and thrust. The flying "coke bottle" or the area rule design. The Pinched in waist of a supersonic aircraft is a hallmark of energy transference design reducing fuselage area it compensates for the increase in cross sectional area at the point where the wings are the thickest, and closes the energy transference between the atmosphere and the aircraft.

In order to reduce supersonic wave drag further, engineers studied wings and fuselage as a unit presented to the on rushing air. It was important they found that the areas of consecutive cross-section of the plane increasing from the nose and decreasing towards the tail, should add up to the smallest possible curve, under this theory called the area rule design, the perfect shape would be an "egg".  (Life Science Library "Flight" Strange Shapes and New Materials p. 183 Time Inc. 1965 Published simultaneously in Canada Library of Congress catalogue card number 65-24362 School and Library distribution by Silver Burdett Company)
