Abstract:
A game device including a target toward which discs are torsed by players to achieve a winning score. The target consists of a steel tray partially filled with fluid. It is covered by a transparent plate. Discs bearing numerical scoring values float in the fluid and are attractable by a magnetic force. When the magnetic tossing discs are thrown on the target plate, the magnetic force therefrom causes the floating discs to flow toward it. The player who tossed the magnetic disc receives a score based on the scoring value of the disc which becomes disposed directly beneath the magnetic disc. In a second embodiment the tossed projectile is a spherically shaped magnet and the floating elements are balls each having paddles projecting therefrom and a plurality of numerical scoring values.

Abstract:
A condenser for connecting any standard auto air-conditioner to a water cooled one so as to cool the interior of a boat cabin; the condenser being operated by a motor and consisting of a sealed housing having a coiled copper tubing therewithin, the tubing ends extending out of the housing and one end of the tubing being connected to a compressor and the other end being connected to a receiver of the auto air-conditioner; and an inlet and outlet being connected to the housing interior so as to flow water through the housing, the inlet being connected to a water pump, while the outlet is connected to the boat bilge line.
Abstract:
This is an engine whose main moving part is an internally propelled flywheel encased within, and rotating within, a housing assembly consisting of two plate-like side members bolted together, with a power output shaft projecting from the rotor through these side members; said members containing alternating gas input ports and ignition ports arranged in concentric fashion about the shaft so that chambers inside the rotor (perpendicular to the plane of the rotor) are alternately exposed to the ports wherein said chambers receive gas at each gas input port with ignition occuring at each ignition port, and wherein the expanding gas is vented through jets in the housing tangential to the rotor, thus propelling the rotor and its shaft, and driving machinery attached thereto.
Abstract:
