Title: Innovations by Inventor Jimmy E Fowler
Introduction
Jimmy E Fowler is an accomplished inventor based in Vicksburg, MS (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of engineering with his innovative designs and solutions. With a total of 2 patents, Fowler has developed technologies that address various challenges in transportation and coastal operations.
Latest Patents
Fowler's latest patents include a transportable flotation system and a floating 'V' shaped breakwater. The transportable flotation system is a modular design that incorporates a decked supporting structure buoyed by heavy-duty flotation tubes. This system is particularly useful for off-loading items from cargo ships in small harbors and onto remote beaches. One embodiment of this invention is a lightweight modular causeway system (LMCS™) that can be rapidly deployed and recovered from a Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV). Other embodiments may include floating piers or docks and expedient means to cross environmentally sensitive areas without major earthmoving equipment.
The floating 'V' shaped breakwater is another innovative design by Fowler. This structure allows for a wide range of wave periods and is constructed as a suspended curtain that deflects and redirects incoming waves. This design results in a smaller structure with reduced mooring loads, making it suitable for temporary coastal operations such as military force projection, dredging, and oil spill recovery. The breakwater can be quickly deployed, either shipped in sections for on-site assembly or assembled in sheltered waters and towed to the deployment site.
