Early Ozone Papers
The early ozone papers were the first attempt at creating an ozone replenishment craft that would move to the outer atmosphere, create ozone and then return to Earth. Subsequently, a second attempt and a more successful craft were designed. The newer design was more likely to succeed in its quest.
REPAIRING THE EARTH OZONE LAYER
WHY AND HOW
Why the ozone layer needs to be repaired to its original condition. The human population is at an all-time high. Energy and food production raise at a steady rate to meet our needs. One thing we do not need is the earth climate in a constant state of change. Success with farming, timber, and hydroelectric power production is due directly to having a stable climate. I am not saying the weather will not vary, it has and always will. The problem we are facing will be too little rain in the corn belt or perhaps so much rain the crops will grow moldy in the fields. I believe for certain, the changes that are taking place are happening very slowly and because of the enormous area we are speaking of, the earth’s surface, it will take the same or more time to repair the damage. If we hesitate or do not take action at all the quality of life as we know it will diminish. I am fifty now and have seen the quality of life increase in more ways then I can say. This problem of global warming, if left unchecked, will lead us to despair unlike any we’ve ever known.
How to repair the ozone. The answer to this problem that seems to overwhelm us. Some might say, the task is too enormous, or we lack the technology at this time, this is not true. Let us defining global warming. We need to examine two major problems. One the ozone depletion. Two the Co-2 or carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere. The reason these two factors cause global warming is seen in diagram F-1 page 2. Ultraviolet rays from the sun, a type of heat energy, pass through the thinning ozone layer, then reflect off the earth’s surface and are trapped by the carbon dioxide layer that surrounds the earth. The carbon dioxide layer acts much like an invisible blanket that holds in the sun’s heat. Science is doing all it can to slow the production of Co-2 in our atmosphere but in its self, it will not be enough to stop global warming.
Replenishing the ozone layer is possible and a must. Can ozone generating was first discovered by Nikola Tesla and patented on Sept. 22, 1896. See fig. F-2 page 3 for Tesla drawing of producing ozone. Can we make ozone, bottle it and take it to 90,000 feet to the ozone layer? No, ozone is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms and is very unstable. When we try to put ozone into a bottle under pressure, it will convert or change to oxygen.

The solution is to make ozone where the ozone layer exists. The ozone layer exists in our outer atmosphere between 70 and 90 thousand feet above sea level. The answer is to use a lighter then airship, better known as a dirigible. This type of craft was used in world war 1 and 2 and know as Zeppelin, named after the inventor Ferdinand Von Zeppelin 1917.

A Zeppelin airship, is a balloon fielded with helium, a lighter than air gas. Unlike a balloon, you steer and control a zeppelin direction. The reason a Zeppelin type airship is an ideal craft, for this situation, is that it’s lighter then air design allows it to stay aloft using no energy, hence no pollution. Another type of aircraft, such as propeller or jets use combustion type engines and would pollute the very ozone we are trying to save. Zeppelin aircraft was designed for a maximum altitude of about 20,000 feet. Zeppelin airships can only raise to that altitude because as you ascend higher in the atmosphere the air gets thinner, and thin air will not support the same weight as thicker air. At some point, a balloon or zeppelin will not rise any higher without reducing the weight of the craft or increase the surface area of the craft.
The solution to this problem is to have additional ballast that will deploy from the sides and top parts of the zeppelin. This addition ballast will be balloon-type bladders that will fill with helium gas. The bladders will fill in stages, the first bladders to fill will be attached to both sides of the zeppelin, and sound will deploy from the top of the zeppelin. The extra ballast will aid the zeppelin to reach the ozone layer at 80,000 feet. See fig. F-3 page 5.
Electric power aboard the zeppelin will be generated by gas power generators at low altitudes. In addition, there will be elect batteries for power storage and power dispensing. At higher altitudes between 60 and 90,000 feet, there will be a solar collector Lowered from beneath the control platform. The solar collector will convert sun rays to electrical power. Electric power from the solar collector will convert oxygen to ozone by means of Nikola Tesla apparatus for producing ozone. The oxygen needed for ozone generating will be stored in liquid form. Two large 10,000 gallon insolated tanks will store the liquid oxygen.
The source of propulsion for the zeppelin will be externally mounted propeller engines or internal turbine fan jets. The compressed air from the turbine fan jets will be directed through ducking to the front and rear of the ship for forward movement and steering.
The typical flight of a zeppelin ozone generating craft would go as follows. The airship would leave its hanger. The craft would be loaded with fuel and liquid oxygen. The craft would ascend upward to about 20,000 feet. At this time, additional bladders will fill with helium to give the craft more lift. The bladders will resemble inner tubes and will be located on both sides of the aircraft. With the added lift from side tube bladders, the craft will rise to about 35,000 feet. To achieve the desired altitude of 70,000 feet, balloons shaped ballast will deploy from the top of the zeppelin and fill with helium. This added lift will bring the ship to the ozone layer.

The Zeppelin airship is now floating in the ozone layer. At this time solar panels will lower from beneath the zeppelin machinery room, for the purpose of converting solar energy or sunlight to electrical energy. This electrical energy will be stored in batteries and used to power the ozone producing machines. After all the stored liquid oxygen has successfully been converted to ozone, the airship will descend to earth by reversing the process it took to reach the ozone layer. The Zeppelin airship will repeat this process, again and again, replenishing the missing ozone. I have shown how a zeppelin lighter then airship could be converted for the purpose of high altitude ozone generating. A zeppelin airship would have a limited payload or storage capacity due to its design. Therefore I found it necessary to design a more suitable lighter than aircraft for generating ozone at high altitude. My design is seen in fig. F-4 will carry four times the payload of the Zepplin airship.
My design is a horizontal beam that would support many large balloons lift devices. In addition, there will be four arms that swing out from the main beam to forty-five degrees. These arms will support more lift balloons for high altitude gain. All lift balloons will be filled with helium and will be interconnected so they can adjust for load differences. The machinery room will be two-story. The top-level will house ozone generating equipment and telemetry electronics for monitoring and ship navigation. The second level will house the gas turbine propulsion systems, and fuel tanks for the gas turbine. The liquid oxygen storage tanks for ozone generating will also be on the second level. There is a great need for electrical power for ozone generating equipment. Therefore it will be necessary to have a large photocell shield to deploy from the bottom of the second story machinery room to supply this needed electrical power. The horizontal beam will be supported by wire cable that will run from the bottom of the machinery room to both ends of the horizontal beam. The wire cables will provide upward support for the lifting balloons. The horizontal beam multiple balloons lighter than air ozone generating craft I designed would be better than a converted Zepplin airship for these reasons. First, It will be simpler to design and build. Second, the horizontal beam requires less material in construction, and less structural material means less weight and that allows us to carry more ozone-producing material. Third, the cost and probably the most important factor in the whole ozone replenishment program. The cost will be less due to this new horizontal beam ship design. The converted Zeppelin airship and the Horizontal beam airship will not differ in the way they would make ozone. The ship will leave its hanger fully loaded with ozone generating material and rise through the atmosphere to the ozone layer. Once there will begin making ozone for an undetermined amount of time. Then the ship would descend and return to its hanger at sea level. There the ship would refuel and return back to the ozone belt to generate more ozone. This process will repeat its self over and over again.
