The present invention relates to a vector thrust converter composed of a confining surface eccentric to the axis of rotation of arms each having moveable weights that can move away from the axis of rotation their position being governed by the confining surface. As the arms are rotated the weights on the arms are moved by centrifugal force between their minimum and maximum extended positions relative to the axis of rotation governed by the confining surface so that in their maximum extended position they are most remote from the axis of rotation and therefore develop the highest centrifugal force. In this position as the weights are rotated they generate a net thrust radial of the axis of …

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 28, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 28, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 28, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
