ABSTRACT:
A method wherein a vehicle is capable of movement on or over land, and/or on, over, or under water. Various body, wing, tail, and/or outrigger shapes facilitate movement and develop lift. Buoyancy or semi-buoyancy is developed utilizing various chambers to contain controlled volumes of gaseous or liquid substances. Motion is augmented by propulsion or repulsion mechanisms, including pressurized liquid stream jet (PJET) propulsion. The vehicle is capable of modifying its shape and/or the curvature of various parts, such as wings, tails, and/or outriggers, by manipulating the internal skeleton, the internal compartments supporting the external surfaces, and/or the internal pressure of the shape. Control Agents with mechanized or manual support manage the vehicle's operations controlling various movement particular information, as well as baseline algorithms, such as wind speed, currents, and location.
