I was disappointed by The Debrief’s dive into UFO patents. I’ve written my own patent and have a decent basic understanding of physics as well as knowledge of technological advancements. Rather than searching for patents with pictures that look like something from ufology I simply made an educated guess as to how “some” (some being a qualifying word) of these craft may work and then google searched a couple keywords followed by the word patent. Here’s what I found in two minutes.

UFO patent

Before I jump into this patent let’s first define magnetohydrodynamic (MHD.) Here is the wiki below
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamics

the study of the magnetic properties and behaviour of electrically conducting fluids. Examples of such magneto­fluids include plasmas, liquid metals, salt water, and electrolytes. The word “magneto­hydro­dynamics” is derived from magneto- meaning magnetic field, hydro- meaning water, and dynamics meaning movement. The field of MHD was initiated by Hannes Alfvén,[1] for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970.

The fundamental concept behind MHD is that magnetic fields can induce currents in a moving conductive fluid, which in turn polarizes the fluid and reciprocally changes the magnetic field itself. The set of equations that describe MHD are a combination of the Navier–Stokes equations of fluid dynamics and Maxwell’s equations of electro­magnetism. These differential equations must be solved simultaneously, either analytically or numerically.

I want to point out that the word “fluid” here can be used to describe things that are not always though of as fluids. Basically, the mediums of space and air can also be considered “fluids” and the equations for these mediums are basically the same they just use a different constant.

From the patent, “ The present invention relates in general to craft propelled by magnetohydrodynamic elfects and methods of propulsion and control thereof, and more particularly to heavier-than-air craft which are propelled by interaction of magnetic fields upon electrically conductive fluids such as plasma, surrounding the craft. “ So this patent is for an aircraft that uses MHD by utilizing a conductive plasma around it.

MHD is not a new concept. It’s about 80 years old. This patent is from the 60’s. MHD is a subset of a larger concept called electromagnetically driven propulsion or EM propulsion.

Electromagnetically driven propulsion

In addition to MHD there is also electrohydrodynamics (EHD) as well as ion drives. All of these are established concepts and technologies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_thruster

We have demonstrated EM propulsion with current technology in the mediums of air, space and water already. These are not sci-fi theories. They are known existing technology. However, they are not currently practical technology. Understanding this is really the key insight.

Why is EM propulsion not practical? The answer is current battery and gas technology isn’t good enough (and probably never will be.) EM propulsion is very inefficient. In addition to being extremely wasteful, the weight of the fuel source barely makes the technology functional. It’s demonstration is mostly perceived as little more than a novelty and waste of time. The ratio of energy necessary to the weight of the fuel source is so horrendous that it would never be practical using batteries or gas. This is because the energy sources of batteries and gas are chemical in nature and simply don’t have enough energy density. They will always weigh too much and not get enough bang per ounce necessary to accomplish anything very extraordinary. This means the only way to implement a practical EM propulsion technology is with fusion energy. More specifically compact fusion energy.

A compact fusion energy generator would be sufficient in powering a craft that uses EM propulsion to navigate the mediums of air, space and water with no visible conventional means of propulsion (propellers, wings, heat signatures in some cases.) So, such a technological feat can easily be applied to existing concepts and technology to build a craft that matches many (not all) of the unexplainable observables. In fact Lockheed Martin has a patent that covers such an aircraft.

Here’s a decent article on the subject.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/19652/lockheed-martin-now-has-a-patent-for-its-potentially-world-changing-fusion-reactor

For those of you that think compact fusion is too advanced or far away, I’d like to point out that there are multiple companies working on it and claiming to be very close to net energy including Lockheed Martin. Advances in fusion have been accelerating and funding has been but a drop in the bucket over the decades, however, recently we’ve seen a rather large spike in fusion funding. It’s definitely not 1000 years away. I could and have made entire posts dedicated to the topic of compact fusion feasibility and gross underfunding of it’s research. I’d also like to point out it’s the topic of at least a couple of the recently released declassified DIRDS. Specifically dense plasma focus device fusion approaches as well as aneutronic fusion approaches and specifically MHD as well as fusion powered ion drives.

Here is a very simple video trying to explain the concept I made in the past.

Fusion energy system and plasma propulsion aircraft to produce electricity from a controlled nuclear fusion reaction

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20060102795A1/en

This brings me to this patent from 2005. He also has a tubular design he patented in 2008.
https://patents.google.com/patent/US20090127383A1/en?inventor=Gary+Gochnour

His first patent describes a craft that uses either pB11 (aneutronic) or hydrogen fuel for the fusion process. It reads, “ Said craft, is immediately capable of space flight, use as a submersible craft, or use as an energy source in an artificial environment. Said craft is opaque, invisible within the visible spectrum, invisible to electromagnetic radiation, and absorbs radiation it produces. Said aircraft is capable of soundless flight. Said aircraft is capable of verticle ascent, descent and landing. Said aircraft can operate within earth radiation belts. Said aircraft is capable of speeds in excess of the fastest aerodynamic aircraft, said aircraft navigates within a particle field at a faster rate than conventional aerodyamic aircraft within the atmosphere. “

Look at the pretty picture.

His second patent is equally interesting. It reads, “ The invention relates to a plasma based aircraft possessing a magnetic field, and, a huge plasma vortex. Said craft is tubular in shape. Said craft has a vast array of capacitors. The craft has a proton accelerator, plasma guns, diversion devices. Said craft will approach the speed of light. Said craft obtains fuel direct from an atmosphere or a radiation produced atmosphere in space, at no cost. This craft can travel to a g k star for only the cost of construction of craft. This invention is comparable to the discovery of fire insofar as man’s future is concerned…”

Looks very “tic tacky” to me.

Okay, so have I stumbled onto something? This guys patents look interesting. Who is Gary Gochnour?

It appears there is a man by this name that was in the Army and referred to as a “space explorer” deceased 2015.

An old court case with this name comes up regarding backpay from the Army.

The BlackVault also has an odd document with the name on it.

Then there’s a missing, but found person story on 2014.

This is turning into a rabbit hole

So, I started this post just to point out that MHD and compact fusion could be used to explain some UAP and use patents to help back it up. Then I found the last two patents and frankly I need more time to look into them and the author. Feel free to help me out. Odd stuff.

Back to the topic…

But this doesn’t explain all observations

I’m aware that this hypothesis doesn’t explain certain observations where the G forces should destroy the craft. Assuming those conclusions are not in error I have to say even EM propulsion with a compact fusion reactor falls short using known conventions. The best I can do is speculate that perhaps there is some unknown convention to explain what appears to be space time metric engineering. I have taken a deep dive into a topic that could potentially explain this known as Exotic Vacuum Objects or EVO’s.
https://medium.com/p/e66c127f4d33

It’s a significantly deep dive so to summarize, these are a plasma phenomena that a very well established and credentialed experimental physicist named Ken Shoulders identified and researched. He claimed that they were such dense collections of electrons that they were basically solids and that they were in such a high concentration they could be used as a kind of mini particle accelerator. He also claimed that they had odd gravity like effects and sometimes described them as a blackhole.

“There is a good chance common, small-sized EVOs can be classified as legitimate black holes; although I am sure Astronomers will object to this as much as they object to associating WIMPS with EVOs. Such associations lower the status of astronomy by being compared to mundane and ubiquitous examples. Still, when making a comparison between common, everyday EVOs, even obtained by sparking to a doorknob, the resemblance in a fundamental sense is striking. EVOs make both negative and positive charges of matter simply go away by removing the effect called charge and mass! If that is not the essence of a black hole, what is? A laboratory scale EVO is most likely a black hole in every real sense of the term. The size is an entirely different matter and should not be confused with the action produced. “

Here is an old version of his website where he describes using them as a “universals clutch.”
https://web.archive.org/web/20080513050518/http://www.svn.net/krscfs/An%20EVO%20Clutch%20and%20Microphone.pdf

I’m still trying to make sense of the whole EVO thing. I believe Ken was onto something. If he was then perhaps a craft utilizing EM propulsion technology and a compact fusion reactor would be able to turn the entire craft into an EVO?

If you enjoy reading my research please follow me on medium as there is much more to come.
