    Abstract: An inertial rotation device includes: a central member with an axial direction, a first engaging portion on the peripheral surface of the central member, an inertia member with a mounting hole, and a second engaging portion on the wall of the mounting hole. The inertia member is mounted around the central member and can be displaced between an engaging position and a released position along the axial direction of the central member. The inertia member can rotate together with the central member when at the engaging position, where the two engaging portions are engaged with each other, and cannot rotate together with the central member when at the released position, where the two engaging portions are disengaged from each other. The magnitude of the torque of the inertial rotation device can be changed by switching the inertia member to the engaging position or the released position.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates broadly to an energy apparatus comprising a flywheel assembly, drive means operatively coupled to the flywheel assembly, and an energy generator operatively coupled to the flywheel assembly via extraction means. The drive means includes biasing means connected to an actuator arranged to provide stored energy in the biasing means. The apparatus also comprises transmission means coupled between the flywheel assembly and the biasing means wherein release of stored energy from the biasing means provides a driving force which effects rotation of the flywheel assembly which gains momentum. The extraction means is arranged for rapid extraction of the momentum of the flywheel assembly. The energy generator generates electricity from the rapidly extracted momentum of the flywheel assembly.

    Abstract: An energy transfer system is disclosed. The system (100) includes plurality of rotatable input shafts (108), each having a first end (110) and a second end (112). The first end (110) is coupled to a plurality of drive sources (102). A plurality of rotatable output shafts (120) are operatively coupled to a pinion (116). A plurality of rolling friction gears (114) are coupled to the second end (112) of the plurality of the rotatable input shafts (108). The plurality of rolling friction gears (114) have circular gear teeth that mesh with circular gear teeth of the pinion (116) for transferring rotating movements of the plurality of the rotatable input shafts into rotating movements of the plurality of the rotatable output shafts (120). Each of the plurality of the rolling friction gears (114) houses a freewheeling clutch (118) acting upon the pinion (116).

    Abstract: A torque multiplier (1) comprising a movable axle (2) having a variable incline with a specific ball joint terminal (3), which has a mechanical energy source M1 as an input and acts as a lever arm, providing an output torque on the other end, which is greater than the input torque, which can be used to actuate a mechanical device. The present invention also comprises an energy-generating system that operates on the basis of the torque multiplier principles, consisting of an axle (2A) associated with a ball joint terminal (3A), characterising a first torque multiplier (1A) having an oscillating mass (10) on the end thereof. The rotation of the mass (10) generates the continuous displacement of the centre of gravity thereof and provides constant movement of the movable axle (2A).

    Abstract: Disclosed are a wave power generation system for generating electrical energy by means of a hydraulic circuit, and a method for controlling same. The wave power generation system comprises a hydraulic motor for storing motion energy in a form of fluid pressure and volume if a plurality of tension transmission members, for transmitting motion energy by means of six-degrees-of-freedom motion of a movable object floating on the waves, move in one direction, and for maintaining the tension of the tension transmission members by means of the stored energy if the tension transmission members move in the other direction. Electric energy is alternately generated by means of the bidirectional motion of the plurality of tension transmission members.

    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for generating electricity using stored kinetic energy of a flywheel. The apparatus has a generating mechanism, an air passageway, a heating chamber and a heating mechanism. A wind turbine rotates a drive shaft and a pair of flywheels that are independently and selectively rotated by the drive shaft. Input air flowing in the passageway rotates the wind turbine. While one flywheel rotates with the drive shaft to build up kinetic energy, the other flywheel rotates free of the drive shaft to use kinetic energy to drive an output shaft and generate electricity. A heat exchanger heats air in the heating chamber to produce convective air flow to draw input air through the passageway. A thermal energy storage tank stores heat for the heat exchanger. The system includes a source of electricity to power a pump. The method uses the apparatus to produce electricity.
