How Wachspress is an American independent inventor and theorist based in San Francisco, California. He is known for work on magnetic levitation and geomagnetic propulsion, tactile sensory devices, and speculative concepts in teleportation and time travel through quantum tunneling.
Biography
Wachspress grew up in New York, where he studied aeronautics at Brooklyn Technical High School and later attended Cooper Union, which he left at the age of nineteen. He held a variety of technical jobs, including work in a plastics factory, research and development for a business-machine company, and sound engineering. He worked as a news recorder for the radio station WBAI FM in New York and took on assorted tasks at recording studios, and in 1969 he served as a sound-system technician at Cerebrum, a multimedia venue on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. A 1966 visit to a museum exhibition of famous invention prototypes in London rekindled a childhood interest in inventing, which he pursued from that point onward. By the mid-1970s he had relocated to San Francisco, where he continued his independent inventing.
Work
Wachspress's early inventions focused on tactile communication and sensory stimulation. Among these was the Auditac Sonic Stimulator, a device that transmitted sound as vibration through parts of the body other than the ears, along with a related series of tactile entertainment devices for which he filed patent applications.
His later work concentrated on magnetic propulsion. In 1988 he filed for and in 1989 received United States Patent 4,874,346, "Free Flying Magnetic Levitator." The patent describes a self-stabilizing, maneuverable magnetic device that levitates without a guideway. It uses a magnetic structure with an odd number of poles, produced by longitudinally wound coils, to interact with an external even-pole field such as the magnetic field of the Earth, generating linear motion rather than rotation. Wachspress extended this principle into proposals for a geomagnetic launch vehicle and a tactile sensor guidance system.
Wachspress also explored speculative theoretical concepts, including teleportation and time travel achieved through quantum tunneling in atom-optic beam splitting.
