Norman Dean's patent is too old to be on the online listings, but I've
got a clip here from the manager of KeelyNet to me in which he speaks of
others work in this area:
Hi Michael! Your Lorrey Drive is interesting and almost exactly what
Cook, Thornsen and a couple of other inventors have patented as
kinemassic or inertial drives....I see you are familiar with Dean who
pioneered this work inertially <g>... Thornsen propelled a canoe across
a body of water at something like 82 fpm.....all from a box sitting in
the canoe, with nothing touching the water except for a steering rudder
that just provided direction....saw the video at the Tesla conference
back in 1994 and met Thornsen....keep at it...

He's going to be putting me in touch with Thornsen.
