Abstract:
A device for efficient self-contained timely sequential vehicular inertial thrust drive is presented comprising two in opposing motion direction internal frequency modulated mechanical oscillators using the simultaneous and combined effort of straight line and rotational inertial reluctance of flywheels. The oscillator's mass motions are obtained with a motor-generators imbedded into large backrest flywheels reciprocally exerting pulsed drive actions and dynamic braking action onto rotors. The motor generators are controlled by a manually tunable electronic controller allowing the fine tuning of the mass motions for finding the highest thrust efficiency. The oscillator's frequency modulation is obtained with an internal reaction less angular mutual reciprocal torque pulse exertion by the motor between the large backrest flywheels against the fast spinning rotor. The internal cycle is recycling unused backrest flywheel energy back into the power supply allowing for an efficient propulsion cycle without energy loss.

A rotation assistance device (1) is equipped with a rotating shaft body (11) and multiple rotation assistance bodies (20), which are equipped with rotating bodies (40). The rotating bodies are equipped with a rotation-promoting body (22), having a mass that maintains rotation, and with a spring shaft (23), one end of which is connected to the shaft body (11) and the other end of which is connected to the rotation-promoting body (22), and which expands and contracts in the lengthwise direction by means of an elastic body. The rotation assistance bodies also are equipped with guide rails (21), which guide the rotation-promoting bodies (22) of the rotating bodies (40) so as to rotate in an elliptical orbit. The rotating bodies (40) are attached to the shaft body (11) such that their respective attachment angles around the axis of rotation are displaced with respect to each other.
Abstract:
An inertia motor for a toy has a housing supporting a rotating flywheel. The flywheel has a disk with generally radially movable elements, movement of which vary the moment of inertia of the disk. Another element is supported by the housing so as to be movable towards and away from the disk and is located so as to be able to engage at least one of the movable elements when the flywheel has slowed sufficiently. Angular momentum and energy in the flywheel at engagement is transferred to the housing. The housing may also include a transmission such as a gear train to connect the flywheel with one of more elements of the toy to be powered by the flywheel.
