    摘要: The present invention is the Mech-Elect Generator system that produces either AC or DC electricity on a 24 hour a day basis. The system has a Flywheel coupled to a generator to rotate together as one moving part and has two pairs of magnets; each pair has one electromagnet affixed to the frame and one permanent magnet attached to the Flywheel. The pairs of magnets are used to re-accelerate the device to operating speed after outside forces combine to slow the device. Magnetic Repulsion is the outside force used to bring the device back up to speed. The tapping system has an upper and a lower speed limit. Reaching the lower limit turns the tapping system on, while reaching the upper limit turns the tapping system off. Mech-Elect Generators can replace Wind Turbines, solar arrays, engines in Cars, Trucks, Boats and Ships, or provide electricity to remote locations; and more.

    摘要: A system and method for perturbing a permanent magnet asymmetric field to move a body includes a rotating body configured to rotate about a rotation axis, a permanent magnet arrangement arranged on the rotating body containing two or more permanent magnets, and a perturbation element. The permanent magnet arrangement is configured such that an asymmetric magnetic field is generated by the permanent magnets about a perturbation point. Actuation of the perturbation element at or near the perturbation point causes a tangential magnetic force on the rotating body and/or the permanent magnet arrangement, thereby causing the rotating body to rotate about the rotation axis. The disclosure may also be used for linear motion of a body.

    摘要: This invention discloses an inertial-thruster architecture wherein active and passive damping techniques result in the redirection, absorption, neutralization, and/or enhancement of the effect of torque-induced precession on both oscillatory and rotary devices. These novel mechanical and methodological embodiments demonstrate that the redirection of precession during the appropriate phase of operations will achieve the objective of rectilinear movement when combined with the displacement of one or more precessable masses.

    摘要: A vacuum rotor system is provided comprising a hollow rotor with a rotor jacket that is open at both ends perpendicular to the axis of rotation and with at least two hubs that are connected to the inside of the rotor jacket and that are suitably mounted in appropriate bearings so that the rotor can rotate. A machine housing that encloses the rotor and that has at least one gas outlet opening to discharge gases from the machine housing. A vacuum system that is connected to the gas outlet opening and that has at least one forepump for generating a fore-vacuum pressure in the machine housing. At least one first gas removal device with a gas pick-up opening is arranged in the machine housing between the hub and the appertaining open end of the rotor jacket.

    摘要: The hydraulic system can include a control member that is operatively coupled to a member. The control member can include a hydraulic control member and an integrated inerter. Hydraulic fluid at variable pressures is moved through the hydraulic system by pumps. The hydraulic system can be configured for hydraulic fluid returning from the control member to the first pump to be delivered to the second pump prior to reaching the first pump. A dual-spool valve is positioned between the pumps and the control member to control the flow of the hydraulic fluid. The dual-spool valve is movable to move the hydraulic fluid at variable pressures into and out of first and second chambers of the control member. The dual spool valve can also be configured to operate the control member when a spool is not operational.

    摘要: [Problem to be Solved] A propulsive force is generated without using reaction of a substance, eliminating the need for a portion exposed to an external environment.[Solution] Rotary motion of at least one inclined circling trajectory A around the rotation axis B and circling motion of the substance C are performed simultaneously and continuously so that each time the inclined circling trajectory A rotates through 180° around the rotation axis B, a change in the inclination angle is caused for the circling trajectory of the substance C by up to 90° relative to each of the Y axis and the Z axis, and interaction with the resistance exhibited by the substance C against the change is used as a propulsive force.
