This technology represents the science behind the principle of the common golf ball. A ball formed with a “dimpled” surface flies 4 times further than one with a flat surface.

"Dimple-Model" of the german Highspeedtrain ICE at the cryogenic windtunnel in Cologneim.

Applied on other Surfaces the TLT-Surface provable reduces the flow resistance, subject to construction and optimization, up to 35% and/or improves the heat transfer up to 460% against plain surfaces.

TLT is, in effect, the invention of the wheel for air and water! Every medium /air, water, the ground ...) has a specific density. The greater the density, the greater the frictional resistance. Therefore, for every medium you need a different "wheel".

If we manage, in physic terms, to create a "wheel" for every medium, then we can significantly reduce the frictional resistance. Through the deliberate fashioning of a surface we can generate tiny, whirling vortices - similar to tornadoes - which remain fixed in position and present various positive qualities.

By virtue of their ball-bearing like effect the stable vortices or tornadoes sgnificantly reduce frictional resistance in the surrounding medium. An advantage which golfers have, unwittingly, long been able to exploit.

Moreover, the tornadoes permanently present in a current c
an act like suction spouts, expelling both heat-bearing and heavy particles into the free flow. This in turn increases the heat transfer severalfold with no negative effect on the current.


The TLT facts discount on some points the known doctrine. Therefore the function and effects have been approved by several well-known and objective Institutions with due diligence.

If a parsimonious Scotsman had not used an old golf ball for so long that it
finished up full of dents, presumably it would not have occured to anyone that
uneven surfaces cause an object to fly further and more easily.
