A concrete dispatch operator in Hazel Green, Alabama building things that aren't supposed to exist out here — a 4-node AI cluster, 17 autonomous bots, patent-filed electromagnetic launch architecture, and a published noir book. All on a Raspberry Pi 5. All local. All mine.

Brazelton Gryphon Kepler Propulsion Jump Revolution

Ground-based superconducting electromagnets replace the first stage of every rocket ever built. A 28.7 km evacuated maglev tube accelerates to Mach 3.5 in 23 seconds — no propellant consumed. Gryphon wings carry it to orbit. Kepler's 1,200 m² solar sail takes it beyond. Target cost: $200/kg to lunar surface. Current: $1,200,000/kg via CLPS.

STAGE 01 — MAGLEV JUMP

The Rail

28.7 km evacuated superconducting tube. NbTi coils at 4.2K, 8T field strength. Partial vacuum at 0.1 atm eliminates aerodynamic drag. Human-rated at 3.9G sustained.

Length28.7 km
Exit velocityMach 3.5 — 1,190 m/s
Rail run time23 seconds
G-load (crew)3.9 G sustained
STAGE 02 — GRYPHON ASCENT

The Wing

At tube exit, variable-geometry wings deploy instantly. Aerodynamic lift extends the boost window from Mach 3.5 to Mach 8 — using the atmosphere as a free energy source. Glides back unpowered.

Wingspan18 m
Peak MachMach 8
Payload2,200 kg

STAGE 03 — KEPLER SAIL

The Sail

Above 310 km, a 1,200 m² CP1 Polyimide solar sail deploys from a 3.2 kg boom. Zero propellant. Zero fuel mass fraction. Solar pressure at 1 AU: 1.8 mm/s² continuous thrust. Forever.

Noir Vignettes · Published 2025
You Probably Think This Book Is About You

Fifty-five noir vignettes set in the American South. Each one a portrait — a dispatcher at 4 AM, a man who can't leave a town that never held him, a woman deciding what to do with what's left. The kind of stories that feel like they happened to someone you know. Written by a concrete dispatch operator in Alabama who built an AI ecosystem to help him write them.

Days Sober
November 27, 2023. That's the day everything changed. Sobriety is the bedrock under everything on this page — the infrastructure, the aerospace work, the book, the 5 AM briefings. You can't build a brain farm on a shaky foundation. Every project here was built sober. Every line of code. Every chapter.

Faith. Family. Sobriety. Local AI. The left-behind user.
