    Abstract: An elastic energy storage device has an energy storage unit which has an axial rod penetrating through a plurality of rotary disks and spiral springs. One side of each rotary disk is protruded with an outer edge buckling post and another side thereof is installed with an inner edge buckling post. Each two rotary disks are installed with a spiral spring. The casing is installed with a unidirectional power output shaft for driving the first rotary disk of the energy storage unit to rotate. The speed change box has an input shaft and an output shaft. The input shaft is connected or engaged to the rotary disk; and one of the rotary disks of the energy storage unit at an innermost side has a function of driving the input shaft to rotate. Thereby, the at least one spiral spring stores energy through a flywheel and then release the energy steadily.

    Abstract: A power apparatus in which a battery is connected to a dynamo to drive it as a motor and deliver energy to a spiral spring to wind-up the spring. When the spring has been wound to a particular degree a sensor disconnects the motor from the spring which now unwinds and delivers output power. A further sensor detects low charge state of the battery and during unwinding of the spring, some spring energy is delivered to the dynamo, now acting as an alternator, to charge the battery.

    Abstract: The features and advantages of a singe-degree of freedom-type of control-movement gyros have been retained within a system having only one pair of rotors by mounting them on a frame to normally rotate about parallel axes and counter to each other, each spin axis is mounted so that the axis can be rotated simultaneously within two mutually perpendicular planes to provide angular momentum to the frame on any axis that lies in a plane perpendicular to the normal position of the spin axes.

    Abstract: A system and method for generating gyroscopic forces. These forces can be used to propel or assist in the propulsion of a vehicle. The gyroscopic forces are generated within modules that are attached to a vehicle. Each module contains flywheel assemblies that include an axle, a flywheel, and a motor. Each axle has an angle of inclination within the module that can be selectively adjusted. Each flywheel is rotated. Once at its operational speed, the angle of inclination for each axle is altered within the module. Once the axle of a spinning flywheel is moved in inclination, gyroscopic forces are generated that act to return the flywheels to their original orientation. These gyroscopic forces can act to provide propulsion to the vehicle. Unwanted precessional forces are cancelled due to the opposed orientation of the flywheel assemblies and the equal angles of inclination.

    Abstract: A constant stress solid disk rotor of a flywheel has an outer shape having a plane-symmetric upper surface and lower surface, an outer circumferential radius b, and a rotation center thickness h0, and includes a thickness decreasing region which decreases monotonously in thickness from a rotation center to a connection radius a and a constant thickness region located on an outer edge of the thickness decreasing region and having a constant thickness ha from the connection radius a to the outer circumferential radius b. Shape parameters including the outer circumferential radius b, the rotation center thickness h0, the connection radius a, and the outer edge thickness ha satisfy an equation below. Here, ν is a Poisson's ratio of a rotor material.

    Abstract: A flywheel includes a hub configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis. At least one member having a laminate casing connected to the hub, the laminate casing is formed with an enclosed space for housing at least one mass with a fixed shape. The enclosed space is structured to control radial displacement of the at least one mass. Wherein upon rotation, an operational radial force applies a through thickness laminate radial load to the laminate casing, while simultaneously radially displacing the at least one mass to apply a controllable compressive load on the laminate casing. The applied controllable compressive load increases a predetermined laminate loading capacity by an amount of compressive load counteracting the through thickness laminate radial load, resulting in a corresponding increase in a flywheel angular velocity, that therefore increases an amount of energy stored by the at least one energy storage unit.

    Abstract: A system includes two mechanisms each including a first support shaft equipped with a toothed wheel and with an element that is eccentric relative to the axis of rotation of the support shaft, and a second support shaft equipped with a toothed wheel and with an element that is eccentric relative to the axis of rotation of the support shaft. The eccentric elements of at least one mechanism are disposed at least partially in a plane of rotation perpendicular to the associated support shafts and, when the system is in operation, positions of the eccentric elements of one mechanism are constantly diametrically opposed to positions of the eccentric elements of the other mechanism.

    Abstract: A dynamic mass torque generator for producing renewable energy, the dynamic mass torque generator comprising a dynamic mass assembly, wherein the dynamic mass assembly comprises a ballast tank disposed on ballast tank support arms with distal ends of the ballast tank support arms hingeably attached to a glide car via ballast tank support arm hinges and a counter-weight ballast tank disposed on counter-weight ballast tank support arms with distal ends of the counter-weight ballast tank support arms hingeably attached to the glide car via counter-weight ballast tank support arm hinges, wherein the dynamic mass assembly transfers fluid between the ballast tank and the counter-weight ballast tank using a ballast pump to generate torque; and a torsion spring assembly coupled to the dynamic mass assembly, wherein the torsion spring assembly comprises an angle bevel gear-drive coupled to a torsion-spring axel and a crankshaft gear-drive intercept, using a torsion-spring shaft coupling, wherein the angle bevel gear-drive receives the generated torque by transferring lateral rotation to the crankshaft gear-drive intercept using a torsion-spring axel, which further diverts the torque to a clutch crankshaft gear for rotating a clutch crankshaft coupled to the clutch crankshaft gear and a torsion spring configured to store the torque, maintained by the crankshaft gear-drive intercept, as potential energy using a flywheel clutch, wherein the clutch crankshaft gear rotates, a crankshaft-connector-to-clutch-release directs a torsion spring rotational clutch away from the torsion spring, and thereby releasing the stored potential energy through a flywheel which rotates a turbine generator to produce electricity.
