GALAXY TURBINE

In a weight motor, it is known that friction can be among the most difficult elements to successfully accommodate. In this invention, three pinion gears are assembled to engage one another in-train and are further engaged by a cog wheel which surrounds them all, such that the sum of the pitch diameters of the three pinion gears equals the pitch diameter of the internally geared cog wheel. While the axles of the central pinion gear and one of the adjacent pinion wheels are seated in fixed bearings or journal boxes, the axle of the third pinion is un-anchored and unimpeded from rising or falling. However, because it must influence the activity of the other three gears (including the cog wheel) which together hold it in its place, its ability to achieve rest/stasis at the "bottom" of the system can never be accomplished. Its own weight, or similar pressure against it, must cause it perpetually to seek a final rest point, yet never to reach it. A further pinion gear assembly may be constructed ...

BALANCED ROTARY DEVICE.

Kinetic energy storage device using flywheel weights

The invention relates to a flywheel with four moving mass parts (1). Said mass parts move under the effect of the centrifugal force between a position at a minimum distance and a position at a maximum distance from the rotational axis (2), so that the mass inertia of the centrifugal mass also varies between a minimum and maximum value. In the case of known centrifugal masses, such as the axially displaceable revolving disk flywheel (5), the mass inertia is constant and determines the size of the necessary driving torque. The inventive flywheel only has to overcome a reduced mass inertia during starting or increasing speed which has previously decreased, so that a reduced driving torque is required. This results in a greater storage capacity at a given driving torque. The method and the flywheel can be applied especially to electric drives, especially with a battery or solar generator.

Gyromotor

Gyromotor is a type of action and reaction motor which generates thrust without plume ejection. Whereas rockets react equal and opposite to ejected mass momentum, Gyromotor cycles gyroscopes, each mounted on the end of a moment arm, in a back and forth rowing motion to drive a spacecraft, without external mass ejection analogous to rowing a boat. Gyroscope inertial properties are configured to provide maximum resistance torque during the drive stroke and reconfigured to provide minimum torque resistance during the return stroke. The gyroscopes are turned by a moment arm so the torque resistance provides a useful linear pseudo force component to drive the spacecraft, with said linear force greater during the drive stroke than the return stroke, analogous to an oar in water during the drive stroke and in air during the return stroke. The space craft moves in reaction to the net linear pseudo forces and momentum is conserved. The pseudo forces are caused by the change of direction of each gyroscope spin axis during its moment arm rotation, similar to centripetal and coriolis effect, pseudo forces.

High Energy Density Composite Flywheels/Electromechanical Batteries

This invention provides for a method to provide the highest possible stored energy density (Watt-hour/kg) in rotating composite flywheels, which in turn will enable an increased application of said devices. Segmented high density (mass loading) materials are positioned and bonded against all free inner surfaces of a high strength low density composite rotor/rim. Traditional composite flywheels do not incorporate mass loading of the composite rotor, i.e., most of the stored energy is contained in the rotating composite rotor. The segmented materials do not fail under the high centrifugal loads, thereby contributing significantly to the overall stored energy density of the composite flywheel system. The high strength composite rotor is engineered to withstand the additional centrifugal loading effects imparted from the segmented masses. An additional benefit from completely loading the inner surface of the composite rotor as uniformly as possible is that it minimizes any unwanted rotor dynamic instabilities.

Drive-In Electric Turbine (D-IET)

D-IET uses as primary components: an ‘omega-like’ pedal lever, (tilted by default at 45-degree from the ground) heavy flywheels, free-wheel mechanism and generators interconnected through sprockets, belts and chains. To produce highest energy return of investment (EROI) a plurality of at least ten D-IETs arrayed across a circle or oval track is preferred with the pedal levers visibly protruding along the track's surface, The weight or gravity of the GOWs pedal down the D-IETs' levers to the ground level producing a rotational energy in the heavy flywheels and eventually the generators as they pass over the pedal levers. Then, one or two seconds right after the pass, the pedal levers are returned freely to their default 45-degree tilted positions again by the lever-restorer devices through the gravity of the counterweights ready to be pedaled down again by the next passing GOW even while the flywheels are still spinning because of the freewheel mechanism that allows forward cranking one way but can be reversed freely without affecting the rotating flywheel. And, inasmuch as the D-IETs are laid down and GOWs running in the same circle or oval train track (in train configuration), the ‘down-up-down-up-down’ movement of the pedal levers are being repeated over again and again producing a non-stop rotation of the flywheels and powering up of the generators. And furthermore, because in one embodiment (where the hybrid vehicle switches from gasoline to electrical) the GOWs and the generators can symbiotically power each other resulting in a potentially continuing operation. 1(1) two drum-like heavy cylinders serving as flywheels each ...

Wind power conversion apparatus driven by fly wheel

A wind power conversion apparatus driven by a fly wheel comprises a wind channel, a fly wheel and a rotating shaft. The wind channel is configured into a long hollow tapered tubular shape with an opening at each end thereof. An opening at one end, which being larger in cross section, serves as a wind inlet, while an opening end at the other end which being smaller in cross section serves as a wind outlet so as to conduct the wind flow into the apparatus via the wind channel. A fly wheel with several wind vanes is installed in the wind channel proximate to the wind outlet so as to convert the wind force into an adjustable rotating torque of the fly wheel. The fly wheel is able to keep rotating about the rotating shaft by its inertia for a certain duration of time even after the wind ceases to blow. With this apparatus, the kinetic energy of the wind flow is converted into an adjustable and storable mechanical energy to utilize.

INERTIAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM

INERTIAL PROPULSION SYSTEM

Inertial propulsion system

Of the forces at work only those which perform motive work can be conserved, that is the forces the components of which parallel to the displacement are positive. For this it is sufficient for the centre of gravity of the wheel to be driven in a vibratory circular movement the trajectory of which is a semi circle. A two-stroke horizontally opposed twin cylinder engine will be capable of achieving this if the ignition advance is sufficient or if the compression rate is high and ordinary petrol is used. The movement of the piston is then reversed before the wheel has performed a half revolution.

Wind Power Conversion Apparatus Driven by Fly Wheel

A wind power conversion apparatus driven by a fly wheel includes a wind channel, a fly wheel and a rotating shaft. The wind channel is configurated into a long hollow tapered tubular shape with both ends open. One end, which being larger is cross section, serves as a wind inlet, while to other smaller one serves as a wind outlet so as to conduct the wind flow into the apparatus via the wind channel. A fly wheel with several wind vanes is installed in the wind channel proximate to the wind outlet so as to convert the wind force into an adjustable rotating torque of the fly wheel. The fly wheel is able to keep rotating about the rotating shaft by its inertia for a certain duration of time even after the wind ceases to blow. With this apparatus, the kinetic energy of the wind blow is converted into an adjustable and storable mechanical energy to utilize.
