TITLE: ROBOTIC MOBILE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Preferably hydrogen powered, computer controlled robot with three pivoted .propellers operated in symbiosis by self-contained electromagnetic fields to provide electromagnetic footing propulsion in the air or water, as a means to overcome inertia and gravity, the electromagnetic propeller brush-less variable speed motors having the ability to function as generators to recuperate deceleration and harness renewable energy during standby, operable according to software coordinate programs, manually, autopilot, GPS, Laser, video, data communications, applicable to an immense variety of potential embodiments, including transportation, renewable energy harnessing, construction, etc.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Polluting dwindling fossil fuels have brought society to the present state of evolution, and in the process we are depleting them and polluting the environment at an alarming rate everyday that goes by, with the proliferation of the automobile. More and more highways and bridges are being built to accommodate the increasing flow of traffic, which are very costly to produce and maintain. Altogether, they cover an immense area of the earth, thousands of square miles. Even more importantly, they too pollute the environment and rob society of prime land space by covering it over, and creating a potential hazard for wild. life. City streets every where, are filled with parked vehicles that obstruct traffic flow, causing major traffic jams and along with the highways, create further pollution, waste of time and economic burden. Trucks and tractor-trailers generally travel along the highways causing major damage to the paved roads and are directly responsible for major accidents, causing numerous injuries: and fatalities everywhere, every day.

The public transportation industry in its various forms, are other important areas responsible for fossil fuel consumption and pollution of the environment, air, water, land and noise, on a grand scale. Trains require railtracks that are costly to build and maintain, robbing society of prime land and creating a potential hazard for wild life. Ocean ships are major polluters in the oceans and air, since they must consume vast amounts of fuel and are frequently responsible for major oil leaks, destroying the environment and killing wildlife.
The conventional airliners have become the favorite rapidly evolving form of cargo and passenger transportation. Among the various problems associated with them is that they require immense amounts of fossil fuels that are burned into the atmosphere with obvious consequences of noise and air pollution. They require long runways to takeoff and land, and cannot do it during periods of high winds, heavy rains, ice and snow. This directly diverts passengers from their schedules with considerable losses to every one concerned, and often delays in the air, with serious accidents as a consequence of changing weather conditions. Airliners are complex machines that are costly to manufacture, operate and maintain, which can be immensely improved in their ability to fly in all weather, takeoff and lend vertically, with more advanced silent non-polluting computer controlled self-contained electromagnetic propulsion technologies.
Helicopters, much like airlines, have evolved to become a popular form of transportation for cargo and passengers as a consequence of their improved flying ability, however generally much slower. Like conventional airliners they rely on fossil fuels and are generally noisy air polluters. Although their flight ability is superior to that of airliners, it is. still far short of that which can be provided with mores advanced propulsion technology.

Renewable energy harnessing is potentially important area in desperate need of innovation. Contemporary technologies for the harnessing of solar, wind and waves are in themselves becoming an environment polluting economic burden on society. Solar power plants, windmill farms and ocean shoreline wave power stations, are fundamentally dependent on cyclical energy, therefore limiting their potential for the periods when energy is available to them. They are vulnerable to inclement weather, and like highways and bridges, which claim land space, are a burden to wild life and. are very costly to maintain. The high costs eventually have to be paid for by society, setting us back economically. The fact that the proliferation of these renewable energy technologies depend on the rising price of dwindling fossil fuels to be economically viable, confirms these claims.
Atomic power, coal, oil and gas fired power generating plants and hydropower with their long power lines crisscrossing the landscape, are also major polluters to the environment and a detriment to social prosperity, worldwide. On the other hand, hydrogen has been confirmed as the ideal form of fuel and a lot has been learned about the methods of production, storage and its application in many forms, as a clean fuel.
The harnessing of the sun in its three basic forms can be achieved at once, day and night, with minimal disruption to the environment. Hydrogen fuel can potentially be produced abundantly, reliably and very inexpensively with electromagnetic propellers specifically adapted to harness rivers, ocean currents, waves and wind. They can be scaled to produce electricity in very large quantities directly, which can be converted to hydrogen fuel to satisfy society's energy needs, far into the foreseeable future and potentially, lead to a golden age of prosperity, worldwide.
Yet another important consideration that has contributed to the present invention of the electromagnetic propeller in its present state is the visionary colonization of the oceans. Eventually, mankind may once again find refuge in the oceans, before outer space, as global warming continues and the glaciers melt raising the level of the oceans. The electromagnetic propeller invention provides a giant .leap for the colonization of ocean space, for which the robotic mobile was specifically, conceived for.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The robotic mobile according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a molded composite material module with a plurality of airfoil sections, each having a cavity specifically adapted for the installation of an electromagnetic propeller module.
The overall vehicle configuration ha.s an aerodynamic shape, which provides lift when moved along the horizontal axis, in the forward direction. A pair of lateral skis provides a means for vertical takeoff and landing and for skiing on water, ices and snow. Basically the overall configuration provides the combined shape of a sports automobile, hydroplane, helicopter, skidoo, and a submarine, which is specifically adapted to fly through the air and water in any direction, for the eventual colonization of ocean space.
Ideally powered by hydrogen fuel, the robotic mobile is essentially a computer controlled flying robot with three independently pivoted electromagnetic propellers that are remotely controlled by encoded serve>motors, by manual, autopilot or handheld computer data communications. This ability provides combined propulsion to be aimed in symbiosis in any specific direction. Therefore, either air or water can provide a footing f:or the robotic mobile to position itself at a specific point according to a computer coordinate frame of reference, provided by data software programs, data communications or laser beams of conventional contemporary technologies, configured to achieve the specific objectives.
The robotic mobile's ability to move through the air and water according to a specific coordinate position and remain at a particular point depends on computer software programs and on its electromagnetic propellers ability to work in symbiosis, by providing a combination of propulsion forces aimed accordingly. Essentially, the electromagnetic propeller outer rim has permanent magnets which react with the three stator coil's electromagnetic fields to achieve conventional DC variable speed motor that operates within confined electromagnetic fields, which are changed in proportion and in symbiosis to provide a specific amount of propulsion by the propellers, as a combined force in a specific direction to overcome inertia and gravity. Therefore, this ability is inherent to the electromagnetic propeller design, which provides an immense potential of applications to improve transportation of passengers, cargo, the construction industry and numerous others, including the harnessing of renewable energy, from wind, water currents and waves, with great simplicity and'. efficiency.
The electromagnetic propeller rotor combines two conventional brush-less variable speed electric motors with a common rotor and three stator' electromagnets.
Motor A is a conventional brush-lesw~ variable speed motor that is interfaced radially with a conventional stator, which can operate independently or in symbiosis, as a booster, or as an electric generator. Motor B has two lateral disposed stators interfacing the common rotor laterally operating in the same basic principles of a brush-less variable speed motor. Together they provide the electromagnetic propeller rotor with self-contained electromagnetic bearings having the ability to generate propulsion by the propeller blades, through the air or water. Variable voltage and frequency for speed control are provided by conventional computer control boards with provisions to recuperate deceleratic>n power and for wind energy harnessing while in the standby mode of operation.
In addition to the propeller's rotor' electromagnetic containment, radially and laterally, roller bearings are provided to support the rotor~durinc~ power off. Two sets of spring loaded Teflon sealing rinds are provided to make the assembly waterproof. Since the self-contained electromagnetic fields tend to squeeze the rotor into a concentric position, electromagnetic bearing in which the force is proportional to the electromagnetic fields force and the propulsion forces. To improve overall operation, two Teflon sealing rings are also applied to from a watertight assembly of the rotor and stator assembly, for it to operate safely underwater.
The stator ferromagnetic cores may optionally be molded in sizes to suit the particular application with cavities to suit the molded covers. The complementary stator covers may optionally be made of aluminum alloy in a permanent molding operation to ensure precision compliance and a strong assembly of good thermal conduction. The propeller rotor may also optionally be made of aluminum alloy in a permanent molding operation to ensure precision compliance and a. strong multi-blade propeller of a specific design, having a ring-shaped hub, which alternatively provides a coupling means for the propeller when applied for renewable energy harnessing generator or as a torque motor. The assembly is enclosed optionally by a stainless steel "U" shaped semicircular frame that is press fitted over the assembly for reinforcement and to form an electromagnetic containment shield. Optionally, two "U" shaped ~;tainless steel clamping brackets are press fitted over the electromagnetic containment shield t:o provide a wire outlet and a pivoting bearing coupling means to aim the electromagnetic propeller according to remote controlled encoded servomotors, or as a mounting bracket that can be bolted down for stationary installation applications.
