Abstract

A flying device that utilizes the rotation of a liquid to create a lifting force is disclosed. The device comprises an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion has a top and bottom, with a central cylindrical hole extending from the top of the upper portion to the bottom of the upper portion. The lower portion comprises a tank configured to hold a liquid. A propeller is disposed in the lower portion. A motor is mechanically connected to the propeller. The center of weight remains above the motor and within the cylindrical hole. The device may also include a lower portion that has a hollow rim forming a recessed portion configured to receive the upper portion. A method of using the device is also disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A flying device that utilizes the rotation of a liquid to create a lifting force, the device comprising:
 a. an upper portion with a top and a bottom, with a cylindrical hole extending from the top of the upper portion to the bottom of the upper portion;   b. a lower portion comprising a tank configured to hold a liquid;   c. a propeller disposed in the lower portion; and   d. a motor mechanically connected to the propeller.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the center of weight of the flying device is located above the motor and within the cylindrical hole. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the motor is attached to the upper portion. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the lower portion has a hollow rim forming a recessed portion configured to receive the upper portion. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1  or  4  wherein the device comprises a base cover attached to the lower portion. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the inside of the upper portion comprises a material selected from the group consisting of glass, plastic or silicone. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the outside of the upper portion comprises zinc. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the motor is an electric motor. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the motor is powered by an electric generator. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one motor is located at the bottom of the central cylindrical hole. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a plurality of motors. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the upper portion comprises a steering device. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the steering device comprises:
 a plurality of motors proximally located to the central cylindrical hole of the upper portion, wherein the plurality of motors are dispersed throughout the upper portion so that the weight of the plurality of motors is evenly distributed, wherein each motor has a rod extending perpendicularly from the motor towards the outside edge of the upper portion, wherein each rod has a weight mounted on the rod.   
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device has a plurality of zinc plates contiguous to the inside of the upper portion. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the motor is supported by a plurality of posts. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the upper portion is supported by a plurality of posts. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the tank comprises salt water. 
     
     
         18 . A method of moving a flying device in an upward direction, the method comprising the following steps:
 a.) obtaining a flying device that utilizes the rotation of a liquid to create a lifting force, wherein the device comprises an upper portion having a motor, wherein the upper portion has a central cylindrical hole extending from the top of the upper portion to the bottom of the upper portion; a lower portion wherein the lower portion forms a tank configured to hold a liquid, wherein the lower portion has a propeller attached to the motor; and a weight center wherein the weight center is located above the motor and within the cylindrical hole;   b.) filling the tank with a liquid; and   c.) activating the motor.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the flying device further comprises a steering device having a plurality of motors proximally located proximal to the cylindrical hole of the upper portion, wherein the plurality of motors are dispersed throughout the upper portion so that the weight of the plurality of motors is evenly distributed, wherein each motor has a rod extending perpendicularly from the motor towards the outside edge of the upper portion, wherein each rod has a weight mounted on the rod. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , the method further comprising the following step:
 (d.) steering the device in the desired direction by moving one or more weights by activating one or more motors of the steering device.   
     
     
         21 . A flying device comprising a partially hollow circular disc filled in part with a liquid in the lower portion of the circular disc, wherein the lifting force is created by rotation of the liquid.
