FR2607193A1 - Mechanism for increasing energy by causing arms fitted with flyweights to rotate - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a machine making it possible to use a static force generated by flyweights M. 1.2.3.4. suspended from their tie rods T and to convert it into a dynamic force. Its structures are composed as follows: four arms in the shape of a Greek cross BB' 1.2.3.4 mounted on a spindle A allowing them to revolve in a bearing P resting on a base S. At the end of each arm a bearing p receiving a spindle a integral with a tie rod t at the end of which there is suspended a flyweight M 1.2.3.4. Once this assembly has been caused to rotate on its spindle A by a drive motor ME, the flyweights, due to their weight, will remain vertical and thus give rise to a rotation of their suspension spindle with respect to the arm. This rotational movement of the suspension axis is taken up and retransmitted by a multiplying-up system T.S. to an electric generator G.

Description

 This invention relates to the operating principle of a machine capable of producing a greater motive force than that necessary to maintain its rotation.

Its structures can be designed as follows (drawing nO 1) 1st Version
On a fixed block (S) which serves as a support for a bearing (P), four double arms (B B'1.2.3.4) in the shape of a Greek cross, joined together, on an axis (A) or a rolling system so that this set can turn like a wheel. At each end of these arms (BB'1.2.3.4) a bearing (PP '1.2.3.4.) Receiving a mobile axis (a 1.2.3.4.) Secured to a tie rod (T 1.2.3.4.) At the end of which is fixed a flyweight (M 1.2.3.4.). This axis (a 1.2.3.4.) Is connected to a transmission and overdrive system (TS 1.2.3.4.) In order to allow the drive of an electricity generator 'alternator or dynamo (G 1.2.3.4.) .This (G 1.2.3.4.) Is fixed between the arms at their base. In this option each arm has its generator of electricity, but it is conceivable to have, for example, a central alternator (drawing nO 2) whose rotor is connected and driven by the transmission of each arm, the stator is fixed between the bases of these four arms, the rotation of these remaining entirely independent.

 An electric drive motor (ME), with a gear reduction, allows the rotation of this set.

 The principle of operation of this machine is as follows the set of arms rotated on their axis (A) by the electric drive motor (ME), the weights (M 1.2.3.4.) Fixed at the end of their tie rods integral with their suspension axis (a 1.2.3.4.), by their weight, will keep their vertical position. This implies, at each turn of the arm, a reverse turn of the suspension axes. The power exerted by these axes is proportional to the weight of the weights (M 1.2.3.4.) And to the length of their tie (leverage). This power, recovered by an overdrive transmission (T S) as a function of the speed of rotation of the arms, can be used to run an electricity generator.

Either a generator on each arm (G 1.2.3.4.), Or a more powerful single generator. The set of arms, perfectly balanced, will require a driving force to keep it in rotation which will be significantly lower than the power produced by the four arms and their counterweight. It is possible to assume, for example in the case where each arm has its generator, that the power produced by one of them is sufficient to supply the drive motor. This makes the machine independent after launch, it is in self-operation.

 The electrical energy then produced by the other three generators will remain available for conventional use.

2nd Version
(See drawing # 3)
The double four-arms (BB '1.2.3.4.) Are connected by a circle (CC') and thus form a double wheel whose arms (BB '1.2.3.4.) Become the spokes. This wheel-shaped assembly rests on a raceway (CR) included in a semicircle support (S). The double weights (MM '1.2.3.4.) Are suspended from their axis of each caté on the outside of the wheel.

 This option allows a longer tie rod length (see drawing nO 3) and thus increases the force exerted by the flyweights on their axis in rotation.

 Transmission of the axis movement to a single electricity generator remains identical to the previous project. A drive motor, either by means of the bearings or by a transmission system, will ensure the rotation of the wheel.

The operating principle is the same
When the wheel turns, the flyweights keep their vertical position and involve a rotational movement on their suspension axis relative to the arms. This rotation is retransmitted by an overdrive system to the electricity generator.

 In both versions, the rotational movement of the wheel should have been slow, given the heavy weight of the flyweights. However, to avoid any cillation or centrifugal effect of the flyweights entrained in their movement, these could be linked together by oscillating tie rods (t 1.2.3.4.) (See drawing na 3).

 Similarly, in order to reduce the torque effect and increase the efficiency of the weights, a horizontal counterweight secured to the axes (a. 1.2.3.4.) Could be added.

The structure on which this machine rests can have different designs depending on its importance
1) - Either metallic or concrete, of a sufficient elevation to allow the release of the weights in the lower part (drawing nO 2)
2) - Either rest on a low height base but with a central release pit (drawing no.1)
3) - In drawing No. 3 the support base being central, the weights being outside the wheel delta, a clearance pit will then be provided on either side thereof.

 The production of electricity generators will be recovered by means of a collector as there is already on rotating machines powered by electric energy.

 An electrical regulation on the power supply of the drive motor will give the impulses necessary to maintain the rotation of the machine at a constant speed.

 Several coupled wheels can constitute a real autonomous power station for the production of electricity for industrial or domestic use, depending on the dimensions which will be given to it.
