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...

Granted Jerry tends to put up anything weird on his system that people send in, but an actual video is a whole nother story. He's going to be putting me in touch with Thornsen.
