I recently came up with a design for a cryogenic propellant
tank that makes transfers of propellant easy in weightlessness! I filed a provisional patent application on
it, with USPTO (the United States Patent
and Trademark Office). A couple of
preliminary searches on their site revealed nothing that duplicates it.
This design is depicted in cartoon form in the
illustration. Is there any outfit out
there, dealing in rocket launch vehicle
designs, that might be interested in
such a thing? If so, do please contact me! I would like to license this design to an
outfit that might actually use it to good effect! That would include propellant depot space
stations in Earth orbit, plus the tanker
launch vehicles that keep such stations supplied.
While one motor and a reversing gear is shown, two motors are also covered in the
provisional patent application, as well
as a variety of vane shapes.
