BG67513B1 - Inertia motor - Google Patents

Abstract

The inertia motor contains masses m1 and m2 characterized by the fact that their angular velocities have equal moduli and opposite directions versus axis (1') of inertia module (1) which has a motor (5) and gearbox (6) for setting in motion the inertia masses m1 and m2, wherein axis (3) of inertia module (1) provides masses m1 and m2 with second-order freedom versus object (2), while the application of directionally variable moment M creates traction with constant axial direction perpendicular to the axis (3) of inertia module (1). The inertia motor is intended to replace various types of motors for considerations of cost-efficiency, dimensions and weight, wherein a motor of this type can be implemented at sites which require reactive traction, and can be used on the ground, in the air, in water and in outer space.

Description

Field of technique

The invention relates to an engine that can be used to drive various types of transport - land, sea, air and space. In parallel, it can be used as a motor in the generation of electrical energy and for all systems where a drive is required, be it linear or rotary.

Prior art

Various types of engines are known. Internal combustion engines, electric motors and jet engines with their variety of rocket and ion engines are mainly used in transport. The main disadvantages of the engines cited above are the pollution of the environment, including from the extraction of electrical energy, the low coefficient of useful action, large volume and weight and the limited natural resources of the Earth. Jet engines and their variety, rocket engines, are most often used in aviation transport and space vehicles [2]. Especially for spacecraft, it should be noted that the thrust of the engine must be enormous to bring the spacecraft into Earth orbit at high speed. For the extraction of electrical energy, the potential energy of a water mass or atomic energy is most often used. The huge problem with this is the transmission of electrical energy. It is considered to be one of the greenest sources of energy, but considering the problems with nuclear power plants and those with thermal plants, the environmental friendliness of this type of energy is already in doubt. Engines are known that use the inertial forces arising from the rotary motion of a mass in linear ones [3,4,6,7]. The most common are those in which a pair of masses rotate around a common center with angular velocities equal in amplitude and opposite in direction. At the same time, forces arise in the direction determined by the points of coincidence of the positions of the two masses in the plane. In the direction perpendicular to the line of action of the resulting linear forces, the resultant force is zero because the forces from the two masses cancel each other out. Another, similar type of motors using inertial forces described in the literature are those in which the resultant centrifugal force is in a given direction as a result of changing the radius of gyration of the inertial masses relative to a given center. A major drawback of the inertia motors described above is the pulsating nature of the linear forces created with opposite directions. Hence the difficulties in converting the two opposite directions into a unidirectional rotary or linear action described in the cited literature.

Technical essence of the invention

Archimedes is credited with saying, "Give me a fulcrum and I will move the Earth." The object of the invention is achieved by using inertia as this "fulcrum". It is known from mechanics that the speed of objects is a vector quantity, i.e. it is characterized by modulus and direction. Any change in these two parameters or just one of them is acceleration, which is ultimately determined by the inertia of the body. According to Newton's second law, F = ma, i.e. the presence of acceleration results in a force acting on mass m.

The task of the invention is the use of accelerations caused by changing the direction of the velocity vector. Such is the centrifugal acceleration, which is the result of a change in the direction of the peripheral speed of a body with mass m moving in a circle. A similar phenomenon is observed in the classic mechanical gyroscope [1], which is a rapidly rotating symmetrical body and in the presence of a moment (pair of forces) along one of the axes of the two frames, precession occurs along the axis of the other frame caused by inertial forces. The difference between the gyroscope and the proposed invention is that in the case of the gyroscope the symmetrical masses have the same modulus and different peripheral velocities, and accordingly the inertial forces are in different directions and create a gyroscopic moment opposite to the applied external moment. In the proposed invention, a pair of masses have peripheral velocities Vi and V2 identical in magnitude and direction due to the different angular velocities (Fig. 2) and under the influence of an external moment along an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the masses mi or m2, when the two inertial masses lie on axis 3 of inertial module 1, the pair of forces has the same direction and therefore there is a resultant force acting along the axis perpendicular to axis 3 (Fig. 1) of the inertial module.

The direction of the applied moment will also determine the direction of the resultant force.

Explanation of the attached figures

Figure 1 shows a schematic of an inertial motor. Two inertial masses mi and m2 rotate with angular velocities equal in magnitude and opposite in direction with respect to axis 1' of inertial module 1. Inertia module 1 has a degree of freedom with respect to object 2 thanks to axis 3. Motor 5 via reduction gear 6 rotate the masses mi and m ₂ in different directions.

Figure 2 represents the schematic diagram of an inertial motor containing inertial masses mi and m ₂ , which rotate with angular velocities equal in magnitude and opposite in direction relative to the body of an inertial module 1 having a degree of freedom relative to object 2. The angular velocities equal in magnitude velocities also define peripheral velocities Vi and V2 equal in magnitude and direction. The latter is a condition for the unidirectionality of the reaction forces caused by the rotation of the inertial module 1 around its axis. The two moments Mi and M2 are the same in magnitude, with opposite directions and act in different time intervals.

Figure 3 represents an exemplary embodiment of an inertial motor with one inertial module.

Figure 4 represents an exemplary embodiment of an inertial motor with two inertial modules.

Examples of implementation of the invention

Fig. 3 presents a physical model of an inertial motor realized with an inertial module 1 mounted on a platform 4 having a degree of freedom along the axis 3. The system for creating moments relative to the axis 3 of the platform 4 includes a sensor 7, an electric motor 8 and a moment reducer 9. This is a classic type of torque system used in mechanical gyroscopes to stabilize the gyroscope rotor axis in a set direction. The sensor 7 can be of a different type depending on the design of the inertial motor. Spring 11 is also a constructive suggestion. Its presence depends on the chosen design solution.

In fig. 4 shows the configuration of an inertial motor with two inertial modules 1 and 10 fixed relative to platform 4. The inertial forces created along the axis perpendicular to axis 3 from the two inertial blocks are used to produce moments Mi or M2 relative to axis 3 defined by the distance of the inertia modules to axis 3, which distance also determines the module of the two moments Mi and M2. When the inertial masses mi and m2 of one inertial module lie on axis 3, a moment Mi or M2 respectively is applied, along the direction of axis 3 of the second inertial module, inertial forces will arise. Applying such moments is possible thanks to the bearing of platform 4 in site 2.

The physical models of the inertial motor shown can be implemented as real motors for use in various types of transport and other applications in practice. Of particular interest is the use of the inertial engine in space flights, where the need for a huge thrust of the rocket engines will disappear and the space object will be able to be brought to an arbitrary point in the space around the Earth for an unlimited time interval without the need to develop the first space velocity. In addition, spacecraft could be realized as geostationary without being launched into geostationary orbit. This can be used for navigational, telecommunication and all kinds of other purposes in solving tasks such as modern satellite navigation systems, telecommunication systems, remote methods of Earth exploration and a number of others.
