Definitions

• the flying apparatus is composed of a round body , a ring, a control and driving mechanism and a payload space.
• the apparatus is intended to be a new rehiole by means of which it is possible to aore from one place to another by utilizing air masses and flows .
• the apparatus belongs to the area of aircraft construction. At present the heavier - than - air vehicles used are aeroplanes, helicopters and autogiros . They are highly advanced vehicles applied to a variety of different uses .
• the mechanism of the flying apparatus which will partly replace conventional air rehicles or perform some new duties will be introduced in the following.
• the flying apparatus maintains its horizontal position because of the gyroscopic effect .
• Corresponding patents can be found in class B 64 C.
• the sustension of the flying apparatus is based the sentrifugal and centripetal forces produced by the ring. There are no patents in this field.
• the streamline form of the apparatus is known and calculated from the experimental ralues of aircraft wing. The invention is based on the good gliding properties of a round flat object and on the fact that the kinetic energy of a fast-moving ring is able to compensate the potential energy caused by gravitation. The moment of inertia of the ring
• the drag produced by the shell of the flying apparatus can be calculated from the experimental ralues of aircraft wings and the formulae of the kinetic energy of the ring can be found in books of physics .
• the flying apparatus is a new kind of vehicle.
• the aircraft for different purposes are highly specialized. The individual advantages have in most cases been obtained by a wasteful use of energy.
• the flying apparatus uses energy sparingly by utilizing air flows to produce its motion.
• the present aircraft are also rather limited in size, the flying apparatus can be built very big. Only very few of the present aircraft can move easily in the vertical direction.
• One of the main properties of the flying apparatus is its ability to more in this direction. Staying in its place in the air has only been possible in a few solu- tions.
• the flying apparatus is a new alternative in this respect too. Besides, the apparatus combines some of properties of a conventional aeroplane and a satellite.
• the most important advantage of the flying apparatus is that by utilizing air flows it is possible to horer from one place to another. By using energy the apparatus is kept is the horizontal position and if there is no wind it is sustained at a desired altitude, Whereas in a storm energy is only needed to balance the apparatus. It usually mores along curved paths.
• the Flying Apparatus A is the 1st application, which is fitted with a ring connected to a fixed shaft.
• Fig. 2 The Flying Apparatus B, with a double ring.
• Fig. 3 Ring A, with a fixed shaft, through which the torque is transmitted.
• Ring B with a hollow shaffc.
• the free - running wheels above the edge support the whole apparatus and when the ring is stationary, the wheels in the lower part of the body support the ring.
• Ring C is the second application. In it rings of the types A and B, having a high angular acceleration, rotate independently and ate fixed to the larger ring.
• the shape of the apparatus is based on the minimum resistance to the air thus improring the gliding properties.
• the shape of the flying apparatus and the fast - rotating ring together give the apparatus its flying properties.
• the kinetic energy imparted by the ring has not so far been utilized.
• the ring combines all the three co - ordinate axes and the forces to different directions produce moments in relation to the other axes. These moments are systematically utilized in the flying apparatus.
• the flying apparatus looks like a upside - down saucer with wide flat edges Figs 1. and 2 .
• the alterations in the construkom of the apparatus are caused by the ring used, which may be oftype A Figs. 3 and 4., type B Figs 5. and 6. or type C Figs. 7. and 8.
• the supporting ring C which is round in figures 7. and 8., can also be some other plane figure.
• Ring B Figs 5 and 6 suits all sizes of the apparatus.
• the part of the ring between outer, item 4 and inner, item5 ring is only ment for the generation of kinetic energy.
• the inside part of the ring Fig.2 item 5 is the driving gear and part of the payload space.
• the door openings can be made either in the upper or lower part of the shell.
• the weight of the flying apparatus on the ground is supported on telescopic legs Figs. 1. and 2 , item 3, or other supports. While at use, the weight of the ring is partly on the free - running wheels inside the supports Fig. 2 ,item 1.
• Ring B gets its kinetic energy via the inside of the inner ring, which is fitted with a frictional surface or toothed wheel.
• any modern engine can be used as a source of power, in big units even a nuolear reactor.
• ring B, Fig. 2 While ring B, Fig. 2, is in operation, the support- ing, item 2 installed radially abore the inner ring, item 5, rotate. These wheels support the. whole apparatus, when it is in motion.
• the Payload space extends from the bottom structures through the inner part of ring B, Fig. 2 item 5., to the dome of the apparatus, where the steering and control equipment are arranged.
• Fig. 5. item 4. is the so-called mass ring, which is given great angular speeds.
• a ring which has a fixed shaft and is supported to the apparatus from this shaft only.
• Ring A Fig. 3. and section 4. is supported,to the structures of the apparatus through the shaft.
• the bending between the periphery and the oentre becomes large between the operating and stationary stages, Fig. 1. if the ring is large. Therefore ring A, Fig. 3. is recommended for small apparatuses only.
• the rotation of the ring is maintained by a motor which is directly coupled to the shaft. Ring A fills up the space where it operates, Fig. 1. Entry and exit are from above.
• the second application of the ring is ring C, Figs 7.
• a 1000 mm diametre plastic pipe forms a supporting frame, where there are e.g. 10 rings of the types A and B with a diametre of 3000 mm.
• the supporting ring needn't necessarily be circular but it also be some other plane figure.
• the individual rings can be driren e.g. by means of compressed air.
• the periphery of the large ring C is surrounded by flaps, like landing flaps of an aircraft wing, by means of which the air masses around the flying apparatus are directed.
