A device for either or both of metal cutting and metal welding. The device is configured to a standard service side arm and other guns and/or other types of tools to cut and/or weld metals for the purposes of breaching and welding metals in a range of applications, including in air and underwater, without degrading the primary purposes of the gun or other tools. In one embodiment, the device includes a reactive material cartridge and a nozzle adapted for attachment to a muzzle. In another embodiment, the device includes a muzzle-loading tube including the reactive material and a nozzle configured to shape the reactive material exiting the tube.

Apparatus for metal cutting and welding

Creating relatively pure and consistent crystals of high performance minerals, such as diamond, has long been pursued. Unfortunately, synthesizing crystals that exhibit deep bonding generally requires high temperatures and high pressures for the formation of large crystals. Alternatively, high pressure and explosive shock waves can also be utilized, as demonstrated by closed-bomb diamond synthesis. Diamond crystal formation at lower temperatures and pressures have been demonstrated, but the formations have been thin and inconsistent. A method of forming diamond and the synthesis of other high performance crystals that are consistent, and can be grown to larger sizes has not existed, nor has a means of providing uniform and consistent thin layers of diamond and other such crystals been demonstrated. The present invention solves those needs by providing a method and apparatus with which to grow uniform and consistent thin sections as well as large crystals that are deeply bonded, and to do so at lower temperatures and pressures then is currently possible, and at lower cost.

Method and apparatus for forming crystals

A fastening system comprises a driving tool formed with a rectangular-shaped bit at its driving end, and a fastener such as a screw whose head is formed with a recess defining a central slot and four spaced undercuts each having parallel upper and lower walls and a side wall perpendicular thereto. The bit of the driving tool is inserted within the central slot of the recess and then rotated such that the side edges of the rectangular bit contact the side walls of two of the undercuts, and the top wall and bottom surface of the bit frictionally engages the upper and lower walls of such undercuts. Frictional engagement between the undercuts and the driving tool bit provides a positive, temporary interlock therebetween, and contact between the side edges of the driving tool and side walls of the undercuts permits the transfer of torque over a large surface to reduce wear.

Fastener and driving tool

A method and apparatus for eliminating heat build-up caused by air friction on wings and other air foils, especially common in high-speed aircraft. As an aircraft is moving, a small portion of air in the airstream moving by the wing or other air foil is passed through an air intake valve on the wing, into a Venturi section and then into a chamber within the wing or frame where the air is compressed naturally. Each Venturi section consists of a converging and diverging nozzle which creates a substantial cooling effect when the high speed air passes through it and is compressed and released. The intake valve spins or flips when hit by the airstream so it alternately intakes and exhausts the air through the Venturi section, thereby causing a double cooling effect. A second embodiment uses valves, one on the leading edge for air intake and the second near the back of the lower surface of the wing for air exhaust. When the front valve is open, high speed air flows through a Venturi section and into a compression chamber inside the wing. Once the air is sufficiently compressed, the front valve is closed and the rear valve opens causing the air to pass over a second Venturi section before being exhausted. This method and apparatus provides a passive cooling system to provide for a refrigeration effect. Such a cooling system will become very useful in high speed air travel, especially at hypersonic speeds.

A structure for a weapon apparatus that can be made of polymer materials is provided. In addition to many novel features, including a counter-torque muzzle cap, an operating handle and gas-operated link, this weapon apparatus has a unique firing mechanism as specifically claimed herein. The firing mechanism comprises a trigger bar having a cantilever-shaped release spring for biasing the trigger bar forward and an upwardly extending disconnector protruding into the path of the hammer. A rotating safety to lock the sear mechanism is also provided.

Firing mechanism for polymer weapon apparatus

An automatic or semi-automatic pistol is made substantially of polymer materials. The pistol includes polymer upper and lower receivers and a polymer barrel attached to the upper receiver. The operating mechanism includes a bolt, block and a hammer, slidably mounted in the fixed upper receiver with the bolt and block and the hammer being separately springloaded. A gas operated link is positioned to rotate the pistol block from a locked to an unlocked position when actuated by gas from a fired cartridge. A gas port extends from the end portion of the barrel to one end portion of the gas operated link to move the link responsive to the gas pressure to thereby unlock the block so that the block, bolt and hammer can be operated by reaction to the gasses still in the weapon barrel. Other features include encasing the entire operating mechanism in an non-movable upper receiver with a removable trigger, and operating handle and having a cutoff switch to change the firing mode from self-loading semi-automatic action to a single shot action, and a counter-torque muzzle cap to counter the torque of the bullet spin, an automatic hammer safety to prevent firing if the action is not fully locked.
