Abstract:
A drive system including at least a pair of flywheels which rotate in opposite directions about a common axis. The flywheels are drivingly coupled by means of rollers and a first of the flywheels is driven by an electric motor or motors mounted thereon and adjacent the periphery thereof. A rotatable output shaft is positioned between the counterrotating flywheels and the motion of the flywheels is transmitted to the output shaft by means of a roller which contacts the facing surfaces of the flywheels and is radially movable with respct to the flywheels.
Abstract:
A power system and method for providing power from flywheel means to at least one of a plurality of commonly-driven continuous motions rotary shaft means operating in a timed relationship. The rotary shaft means drive their respective flywheels. While the flywheel means are not engaged to their respective rotary shaft means, main drive means commonly, drivingly-rotate the rotary shaft means and subsidiary drive means drivingly-rotate the flywheel means up to substantially the same speed. When they are at substantially the same speed, the flywheel means are clutchingly engaged to their respective rotary shaft means without slippage and without loss of the timed relationship between the plurality of rotary shaft means. Rotation of the rotary shaft means can be stopped without loss of timing or damage, by clutchingly disengaging the flywheel means from its rotary shaft means and braking the main drive means.
Abstract:
An inertia drive apparatus includes an indexing drive element and a driveshaft coupled to the indexing drive element, the driveshaft having a linear configuration that is rotated when the indexing drive element is actuated. A rotary shaft is coupled to the driveshaft via a coupling. The apparatus includes a plurality of spindles each having a proximal end coupled to the rotary shaft and extending away. At least one flyweight is slidably coupled to each spindle shaft and configured to rotate and slide outwardly when actuated and accelerating and to slide inwardly when decelerating. The outward movement upon each spindle shaft and impact with a respective stopper causes a tinsile force to be induced in each respective spindle shaft and then to be transferred to the rotary shaft whereby to cause propulsion of the inertial drive apparatus.

Centrifugal gyroscopic devices are described herein. A representative device can include a shaft, an arm coupled to the shaft, a rotor coupled to the arm, and a control system operably coupled to the shaft, the arm, and/or the rotor. The shaft is rotatable about a first axis and the arm is configured to rotate with the shaft. The arm is pivotable about a second axis and the rotor is configured to pivot with the arm about the second axis. The rotor is further pivotable about a third axis. The control system is configured to bring the shaft, the arm, and the rotor into a resonant mode in which the shaft rotates at a rotational rate, the arm oscillates about the second axis at a first frequency substantially equal to the rotational rate, and the rotor oscillates about the third axis at a second frequency substantially equal to the first frequency.

Abstract:
Power generating devices and systems that include devices, apparatus, systems and methods with a turbine assembly disposed in a recess under the road surface as the sustainable actuating mechanism include a pivoting treadle plate upon which is mounted a counterweight wherein the force of gravity raises load-bearing pivoting treadle plate that spans a recess below the roadway to a slope relative to roadways and also utilizes the movement of wheels of automobiles driving over the upper surface of the angled pivoting treadle plates or flaps with hinges to drive down the treadle plates to be substantially level and flush with the roadway as kinetic power to push down a downshaft arm and crank to convert linear force to rotational energy to spin electric generators to generate electricity.
Abstract:
The present application relates to the technical field of a wheel, and particularly to a stored energy transmission mechanism and stored energy-driven wheel. In particular, a stored energy transmission mechanism is integrated with a rotating component, which is used to drive the rotating component. The stored energy transmission mechanism includes a center shaft, an elastic component, a transmission cover, a flywheel, and a flywheel seat. The elastic component is sleeved outside the center shaft and positioned in the transmission cover, with one end being fixedly connected with the center shaft and the other end being fixedly connected with the transmission. When the transmission cover is rotated and fitted with the center shaft, it can tighten the elastic component to store energy.
Abstract:
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.
