Abstract

A fuel less pneumatic and hydraulic lift system flight system provides the following systemic components. A chassis supporting an electric battery and a pressurized base hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic fluid pumping assembly fluidly coupled to the pressurized base hydraulic cylinder; a lift mechanism assembly providing an attractive levitation plate mounted to the chassis; and a repulsive levitation plate mounted to a carriage, wherein the repulsive levitation plate is disposed in a magnetic pole repulsive alignment relative to the attractive levitation plate causing a magnetic lift effect to the chassis; and a plurality of propulsions jets mounted to the chassis, wherein the plurality of propulsion jets enabling motive functionality using hydraulic fluid propulsion and pneumatic pressure via the hydraulic fluid pumping assembly in conjunction with the magnetic lift effect.

Claims (20)

1. A fuel less pneumatic and hydraulic lift system flight system, the flight system comprising:

a chassis supporting an electric battery and a pressurized base hydraulic cylinder;

a hydraulic fluid pumping assembly fluidly coupled to the pressurized base hydraulic cylinder;

a lift mechanism assembly comprising:

an attractive levitation plate mounted to the chassis; and

a repulsive levitation plate mounted to a carriage, wherein the repulsive levitation plate is disposed in a magnetic pole repulsive alignment relative to the attractive levitation plate causing a magnetic lift effect to the chassis; and

a plurality of propulsions jets mounted to the chassis, wherein the plurality of propulsion jets enabling motive functionality using hydraulic fluid propulsion and pneumatic pressure via the hydraulic fluid pumping assembly in conjunction with the magnetic lift effect.

2. The flight system of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic fluid pumping system comprises:

an electric motor electrically connected to the battery;

a fluid reservoir;

an oil hydraulic piston pump; and a

fluidly coupled hydraulic fluid suction assembly for selectively adjusting a compression level of one or more of said levitation plates.

3. The flight system of claim 2 , further comprising an electric air flight rudder for controlling the plurality of propulsions jets.

4. The flight system of claim 3 , wherein each air jet is configured to have a flow cycle producing hydraulic draft while producing electrical current.

5. The flight system of claim 4 , further comprising a thrust displacement chamber disposed between the pressurized base hydraulic cylinder and the plurality of propulsion jets, wherein a first air pressurization in the thrust displacement chamber urges a pressurization cycle producing force vectoring thrust in each of the plurality of propulsion jets.

6. The flight system of claim 5 , further comprising two or more turn vents for selectively redirecting an air flow from the plurality of propulsion jets via actuated louvers.

7. The flight system of claim 6 , further comprising one or more flight control levers configured to electrically adjust a magnetic field strength corresponding to a vertical direction relative to attractive and repulsive levitation plates.

8. The flight system of claim 7 , wherein a hydraulic fluid pressure via the hydraulic fluid pumping assembly is configured to change a distance between the attractive and repulsive levitation plates.

9. The flight system of claim 8 , further comprising one or more flight control levers, controlling the one or more turn vents and the magnetic field strength via the oil hydraulic piston pump.

10. The flight system of claim 9 , wherein each propulsion jet comprises an oil-air pressure fluid transfer component enabling oil-air pressure control, which in turn feeds electricity to a hyper jet oil pump electric motor.
