The Helix Turbine is derived from the Archimedian screw and Da'Vincis
artistic renderings of a flying machine. The Helix Turbine
incorporates within its design symbolic elements that have been
significant since ancient times. These elements include the Yin-Yang,
Hour glass, Caduceus, Lemniscate, Vesica Pisces or Mandela, the
Mobius, as well as other geometric constructs of significance.

Archimedes screw possesses a center shaft, the H.T. does not. Archimedes screw operates using one functional reciprocating plane,
the H.T. uses both and is in equilibrium. This turbine is housed
within a cylinder so as to produce directional thrust and compression. This cylinder sits within another cylinder so as to provide a surface for rotation.

This device has multiple configurations. I will describe its base configuration. Viewed from the front one would see a Yin-Yang. Viewed from the side one may see various geometric distributions dependent upon its angle of rotation.

One shape resembles a "claw or Talon" for lack of more definitive terms. Though the devices primary function is as a fluid turbine, it also exhibits some interesting optical/reflective properties. I have proven that this device has applications in the fields of propulsion and power generation. I have yet to determine the mathematical values associated. I hypothesize that it may also be used for compression as well as other applications.

The device could also be caused to rotate via magnetic induction. This is to say that if constructed of the proper materials, it could be caused to rotate when in the presence of a magnetic field. I am not implying implicitly that this is a perpetual motion device, though I am making the claim that it deserves to be investigated. It can be constructed to operate similar to existing electromagnetic or mechanical motors.

For the record, I would like to say that I consider my self to be the original inventor of this device, at least in modern times to the best of my knowledge. I have been working on this for about 10 years in some form or another. It seems that others have decided to produce and market a variation of this and also call it a helix turbine.

I am glad to see this technology move forward. Throughout history many people have produced similar inventions at almost the exact same time so this does not surprise me, especialy considering memetic propagation. This device is relatively easy to construct for one who has access to tools and fabrication materials. You can use this to power your homes and also for propulsion.

You have my permission to construct and develop this as you see fit. The patent system is a joke anyway. For the electrical engineers, I would like to add that this can easily be manufactured as a motor also. For the aerospace engineers I would suggest utilizing this to design new craft. It can also be used for boats and compression.

As an original inventor, did you pursue a patent application or publish a description of the invention? If so, when and what document or publication was the description? That would be good to have.

Published prior art can knock a patent out pretty easily as can someone who does not pursue marketing an idea in a timely manner. It's easy to prove intent with published documentation. Without it its pretty much hearsay and inadmissible in court.
