Abstract

An aerial craft and sealed force vectoring flight system is disclosed. The aerial craft includes a main body hull, lift jets, a generator, an electrical re-introduction circuit, a hydraulic pump, air flow compressors, an RPM sensor, a max speed limiter hydraulic draft by-pass valve, and a battery. The electrical re-introduction circuit throttles the generator into high-velocity rotation and yields excess electrical current to then be applied to the lift jets. The hydraulic pump pulls pressurized hydraulic fluid across a preceding hydraulic drive impellor such that the pressurized hydraulic fluid returns to confinement under pneumatic pressure faster than a discharge of hydraulic fluid. The air flow compressors generate electricity that is re-introduced into the lift electric motors. The RPM sensor and max speed limiter hydraulic draft by-pass valve speed regulate the generator. The battery initially powers the generator.

Claims (18)

1. An aerial craft comprising:

a main body hull;

lift jets comprising lift electric motors;

a generator comprising generator electric drive motors;

an electrical re-introduction circuit that throttles the generator into high-velocity rotation and yields excess electrical current to then be applied to the lift jets;

a hydraulic pump that pulls pressurized hydraulic fluid across a preceding hydraulic drive impellor such that the pressurized hydraulic fluid returns to confinement under pneumatic pressure faster than a discharge of hydraulic fluid;

air flow compressors that generate electricity that is re-introduced into the lift electric motors;

an RPM sensor and a max speed limiter hydraulic draft by-pass valve to speed regulate the generator; and

a battery for initially powering the generator.

2. The aerial craft of claim 1 , further comprising an audio speaker.

3. The aerial craft of claim 2 , wherein the audio speaker is configured to collect pollen.

4. The aerial craft of claim 3 , further comprising an air displacement nozzle configured to direct the pollen to a flower.

5. The aerial craft of claim 1 , further comprising an infrared camera.

6. The aerial camera of claim 5 , further comprising a visual camera.

7. The aerial craft of claim 1 , wherein the generator is mounted on a centrifuge.

8. The aerial craft of claim 1 , further comprising a ring for coupling with a net.

9. The aerial craft of claim 1 , further comprising argon within the main body hull, the argon causing lift.

10. The aerial craft of claim 1 , further comprising a cold plasma drive.
