DESCRIPTION

"GRAVITATIONAL MECHANISM"

The invention, which has no precedent, consists of an elementary mechanism powered by the force of gravity, capable of producing indefinite work (up to the block due to wear of its components).

The idea arises from the need to build a mechanism capable of producing work, without dissipating, without polluting.

With this invention, we want to radically solve the energy problem and drastically reduce pollution.

The invention consists of a gravitational mechanism characterized by the system, which it adopts, based on the constant decentralization of the center of gravity of a vertical wheel moving on supports. This decentralization is given by the particular assembly of the components, original in their functions (which will be discussed later with the aid of the drawings), which "imprison" the mechanism in the constant position of maximum imbalance.

The unbalanced mechanism, which naturally tends to move to a stable equilibrium position, is forced to chase this equilibrium in vain because the unbalance is constantly renewed.

The mechanism receives no push. Its rotary motion is naturally induced by gravity.

The labor it spends on its own functioning is far less than the labor it produces.

The accompanying drawings, to which reference is made, which illustrate the gravitational mechanism and the elements useful for it, have a purely explanatory function.

Figure 1 shows, in plan, the two faces (front; rear seen in the mirror) of the same mechanism complete with the essential elements which are: wheel 11 characterized, on the crown, by support-holes which house the axis 14 of the forks, each equipped with two arms, 15 on the front, 16 on the back, characterized by wheels 17 and 18 on the front, 19 and 20 on the back, which run on stroke conditioners 22 and 23 on the front, 24 and 25 on the back; other, not original in functions. Note: The four arms 15 at the front, and the four arms 16 at the rear (seen in the mirror), are connected by axis 14. Each pair of arms 15 and 16, with the common axis 14 connecting them forms a fork (fig. 3). When considering an arm, always imagine the entire fork: it helps to understand better.

Figure 2 shows a plan view of the mechanism seen in profile (from the left of the drawings - the overlapping unconditioned rollers are not highlighted);

figure 3 (axonometric representation) shows the fork in its entirety;

Figures 4 and 5 (axonometric representation) illustrate the way to enhance the mechanism by adopting alternative rotating bodies and â € œ hoes with one arm longer than the other.

The invention will now be illustrated, indicating the way to implement it, with reference to figures 1,2 and 3:

We characterize the crown of a wheel 11 with holes - support in diametrically opposed pairs, parallel to the axis of rotation, equidistant from the center of the wheel, and one from the other. The example adopted here shows two pairs of support-holes, but the number of pairs may vary. In each hole - support, suitably grooved to facilitate lubrication, we insert an axis 14 (axis equipped to avoid axial displacements) whose ends, protruding on the sides of the crown, equipped for an integral connection, carry two arms 15 and 16 parallel to each other , one at each end: the whole, the two arms plus the axis that connects them, forms a fork (figure 3). The wheel 11, characterized by the forks (as mentioned above), rotates together with its own axis (axis equipped for the transmission of movement to another mechanism) housed on supports 12 (supports duly spaced to allow the other elements of the mechanism) fixed to the base platform 13, characterized, in the center, by a cavity which will be discussed later.

The length of the arms of each fork must be compatible with the maneuvering space that the axis of rotation of the wheel 11 and the other adjacent forks, on the crown of the same, allow. For greater effectiveness, the shape of the arms must place the center of gravity, «weep as much as possible, at the extremity of the arms; on the arm 15 (opposite), protruding on the external side, the wheels 17 and 18 must be placed; the 18 more protruding beyond the 17; the arm 16, on the back of the wheel 11, is equipped with a small tail where the wheels 19 and 20 are placed, protruding on the external side; the 20 more protruding beyond the 19.

The four wheels (as will be seen later) must run on distinct tracks.

The position, both of the wheels 17 and 18 on the arm 15, and of the wheels 19 and 20 on the tail of the arm 16, defines the base of the ideal triangle with the third vertex on the axis 14 of the fork. The reason for this arrangement and the function of the wheels will be discussed later.

The forks, thus characterized, must be conditioned in the position of maximum unbalance by race conditioners. The run conditioners (which from here on we will call runways) are four runways, two of which, 22 and 24, have a 90 ° arc intrados (plus a small addition 2 1, well marked, with a slightly larger radius long of the following spoke) having the radius as long as the distance of the axis 14 in the bore-support from the center of the wheel 11, plus the length of the spoke of a wheel of the forks (the wheels are all the same); the other two tracks, 23 and 25, have a 90 ° arc extrados (plus a small addition 21, well marked, with a radius just shorter than the radius that follows) having the radius as long as the distance of the axis 14, in the bore-support, from the center of the wheel 11, minus the length of the spoke of a wheel of the forks.

To facilitate the correct assembly of the tracks 22 and 24, ì two long orthogonal sides of the body of the same, must be perpendicular to the extension of the two orthogonal rays that delimit the 90 ° arc.

To facilitate the correct assembly of the tracks 23 and 25, of the two orthogonal sides, of the body of the same, one traces and exceeds one of the two orthogonal radii that delimit the arc by 90 °, the other side is parallel to the ™ other ray.

Each track serves one fork wheel.

To position the tracks 22 and 24 it is first of all necessary to lock the wheel 11 so that two diametrically opposite forks are, with the axis 14, on the vertical diameter.

To position the tracks 23 and 25 it is necessary to lock the wheel 11, so that two diametrically opposed forks are, with the axis 14, on the horizontal diameter.

When positioning each track, the reference fork must move to a perfectly horizontal position (maximum unbalance - the most functional) and each track positioned must have perfectly vertical orthogonal long sides (consequently, the other side will be perfectly horizontal).

support of each track, preferably equipped with three-dimensional adjusters for easy adjustment, must be fixed on the base platform 13 (the supports, elements that are not original in their functions, are barely mentioned in the figures and are not recalled, to avoid overlapping of lines that would make the definition of the essential elements, original in the functions, is less clear).

Each track must be placed under the reference wheel in the position described below:

The track 22 (front), which serves the wheel 17 of the arm 15, positioned, must have the starting point of the track 26 on the vertical which passes through the axis of the wheel 17; roller 17 tangent to the starting point of the track 26 (arm 15 in a perfectly horizontal position).

The track 23 (front), which serves the wheel 18 of the arm 15, positioned, must have the starting point of the track 27 on the horizontal line that passes through the axis of the wheel 18; roller 18 tangent to the starting point of track 27 (arm 15 in a perfectly horizontal position).

The track 24 (rear), which serves the wheel 19 on the tail of the arm 16, positioned, must have the starting point of the track 28 on the vertical which passes through the axis of the wheel 19; roller 19 tangent to the starting point of track 28 (arm 16 in a perfectly horizontal position).

The track 25 (rear), which serves the wheel 20 on the tail of the arm 16, positioned, must have the starting point of the track 29 on the horizontal line that passes through the wheel 20; roller 20 tangent to the starting point of track 29 (arm 16 in a perfectly horizontal position).

As it can be seen, observing the figures, each pair of diametrically opposed forks is conditioned simultaneously, so that, while the track 22, opposite, conditions the stroke of the wheel 17, at the same time the track 24, on the rear, conditions the stroke of the wheel 19; 10 the same applies to the track 23, on the front, which conditions the stroke of the wheel 18 at the same time as the track 25, on the rear, which conditions the stroke of the wheel 20.

Each wheel, which runs on its own track, ends its run when the other one, thanks to the small addition 21 that allows advance, is already on / under the next track. The offset position of the support hole, which houses the axis 14 of the forks in a horizontal position (front), with respect to the wheels 17 and 18, higher than the wheel 17, lower than the wheel 18, facilitates the action of towing and ensures the exchange between the track 22 and the track 23, allowing the wheel 18 only one escape route, towards the top. The other switches (not uphill) between runway 23 at the front and runway 24 at the rear, between runways 24 and 25 at the rear, between runway 25 at the rear and runway 22 at the front, are naturally induced.

The mechanism requires constant lubrication. For this purpose, two small arms 31 and 32, diametrically opposite, will be fixed to the rim of the wheel 11 following the ideal extension of the spoke; the end of each of the arms will be characterized by a pivot protruding on the sides, parallel to the axis of the wheel 11, from which two buckets will be hung, free to rotate, one on each side.

At each turn of the wheel 11, the buckets of the arms 31 and 32 will fish in the oil pan 33, at the bottom center of the platform 13, to pour it into the two top basins, 34 at the front, 35 at the back.

The two trays 34 and 35, held stably by a support 36 anchored to the base platform 13, will be positioned (at the top on the vertical diameter of the wheel 11) in such a way as to hinder the travel of the buckets, forcing them to tilt to overcome the obstacle, and then pour the oil into the same trays 34 and 35 which, characterized by small holes and a metal `` beard '' or other suitable material (for a uniform distribution of the oil), will drop droplets of oil on everything the mechanism in rotation and on the supports 12 each characterized by openings on the cap between one bearing is the other.

All the continuously falling oil, recovered from platform 13, will flow into tray 33.

The platform 13 will be characterized by a perimeter border 37 and equipped with high sides (not highlighted in the figures) to recover all the oil.

Everything will be protected by an inspectionable, hermetically sealed compartment.

The mechanism is ready: we have the position of maximum unbalance of the forks which determines the decentralization of the wheel's center of gravity. By releasing the wheel 11, the mechanism, by gravity, will begin to rotate to bring itself to a stable equilibrium position. It will continue to turn because the imbalance is constantly renewed, and because the work produced, in the descent phase, is greater than the work required for the ascent. Let's see why With the help of figures 1 and 2:

The forks, thanks to the tracks 24 and 25 (rear) which condition, without hindering it, the travel of the wheels 19 and 20, maintain the position of maximum imbalance and descend, by gravity, without spending any work, except for what is necessary to overcome the friction of the ™ axis of the forks in the support holes and of the wheels under the respective tracks; the center of gravity of the forks, far from the center of the wheel 11 beyond the crown of the same, multiplies the power of each fork.

On the other hand, during the ascent phase (front), the respective diametrically opposed forks, thanks to the tracks 22 and 23, which condition the travel of the wheels 17 and 18 by supporting them, maintain the position of maximum unbalance and bring the center of gravity inside the crown close to the axis of the wheel 11, greatly reducing the resistance of each fork.

The wheels 17 and 18, supported by the tracks 22 and 23, allow the forks to be towed, first pulled, then pushed, with a considerable further reduction in resistance, because each of the forks do not burden the hole-support as a suspended body , but to a lesser extent as they are towed (for comparison: think of the effort it takes to carry a suitcase, lifting it, and the effort it takes to carry the same suitcase, to which we put the wheels, pulling it).

The gap between power and resistance, due to the position that the center of gravity of the forks assumes with respect to the center of the wheel, and to the support that the tracks allow them in the Tuto phase, the continuously falling oil, recovered from platform 13, will flow in the tub 33.

The platform 13 will be characterized by a perimeter border 37 and equipped with high sides (not shown in the figures) to recover all the oil.

Everything will be protected by a hermetically sealed compartment for inspection.

The mechanism is ready: we have the position of maximum unbalance of the forks which determines the decentralization of the wheel's center of gravity. By releasing the wheel, the mechanism, by gravity, will begin to rotate to move to a stable equilibrium position. It will continue to turn because the imbalance is constantly renewed, and because the work produced, in the descent phase, is greater than the work required for the ascent.

Let's see why with the help of figures 1 and 2:

The forks, thanks to the tracks 24 and 25 (rear) which condition, without hindering it, the travel of the wheels 19 and 20, keep the position of maximum unbalance and go down again, by gravity, without spending any work, except that necessary to overcome the friction of the € ™ axis of the forks in the support holes and of the wheels under the respective tracks; the center of gravity of the forks, far from the center of the wheel 11 beyond the crown of the same, multiplies the power of each fork.

On the other hand, during the ascent phase (front), the respective diametrically opposed forks, thanks to the tracks 22 and 23, which condition the run of the wheels 17 and 18 by supporting them, maintain the position of maximum unbalance and bring the center of gravity inside the crown near the axis of the wheel 11, greatly reducing the resistance of each fork.

The wheels 17 and 18, supported by the tracks 22 and 23, allow the forks to be towed, first pulled, then pushed, with a considerable further reduction in resistance, because the forks do not each burden the support hole as a suspended body, but to a reduced extent as they are towed (for comparison: think of the effort it takes to carry a suitcase, lifting it, and the effort it takes to carry the same suitcase, to which we put the wheels, pulling it).

The gap between power and resistance, due to the position that the center of gravity of the forks assumes with respect to the center of the wheel, and the support that the tracks allow them during the ascent phase, is considerable; the work that the mechanism produces is far greater than the work it expends to function.

By increasing the size of the mechanism, the power of the same is increased.

The moving mechanism can be compared to a lever in continuous succession, where: the fulcrum is the axis of the wheel; the power arm is made up of the forks which extend, during the descent phase, moving away with the center of gravity from the center of the wheel (from the fulcrum); the resistance arm is made up of the forks that fold, in the ascent phase, approaching the center of gravity to the center of the wheel (the fulcrum).

The principle of the lever tells us that extending the arm of power overcomes considerably greater resistance. We can adopt this principle to greatly increase (within the limits of good economics) the power of the mechanism.

To do this, it is necessary to overcome the obstacle constituted by the rotation axis, which limits the length of both fork arms.

For this purpose, it is necessary to adopt a rotating body 38 (figure 4) consisting of two parallel wheels, connected, in the center, by a cylindrical body acting as an axis, not protruding on the external sides of the two wheels, so that the support 40, which must support the mechanism, can operate inside between the two wheels.

The rotating body 39 (figure 5), which has two bars instead of two wheels, is shown here as an example of an alternative rotating body. It, although with modified elements, is essentially identical to the basic mechanism of a wheel (same functional system, same functions of the constituent elements).

On the rotating bodies thus made, with double wheel or double bar, it is possible to mount â € œ hoesâ € forks that have a short arm, the one with the small tail, which will operate in the maneuvering space that the axis of rotation, between the two wheels or the two bars, allows, and a long arm, not conditioned by the rotation axis, which will operate outside the two wheels or the two bars.

By adopting forks 43 with long arm, whose length is contained in the maneuvering space that a fork allows to another diametrically opposed fork, two pairs of opposing forks can be mounted on the rotating body 39 (or 38), a pair on the horizontal bar (or diameter), the other couple on the vertical bar (or diameter);

adopting forks 42 with the long arm, whose length goes beyond the diameter of the rotating body 38, on the same, it is possible to mount only two forks, one on one wheel, the other, diametrically opposite, on the other wheel.

Each wheel or bar of the double wheel or double bar rotating body, even if it carries only one Fork, requires four travel conditioners, two serving the wheels of the outer fork arm, and two serving the wheels on the tail of the inner arm. of the fork. The assembly of the double wheel or double bar mechanisms follows the same instructions already expressed for mounting the basic mechanism to a wheel (note: for an easier understanding I thought the description of the one wheel mechanism more suitable, but, there is no doubt , the mechanism to be adopted is the double wheel or double bar).

If we take several mechanisms and put them in a row, one after the other (one or more parallel rows), with each pair (of diametrically opposed forks) arranged so that one pair follows the other with gradual progression, it is we connect them (the mechanisms) to a single tree, we will give shape to a super mechanism capable of producing large quantities of work, according to need.

The mechanism may be made of metal, or metal alloys, or metal combinations, or any other suitable material or combination of materials.

Naturally, the elements that make up the mechanism may change in number, shape and size, without, for this reason, departing from the scope of the invention.

The gravitational mechanism, which can be used where manpower is needed, is particularly suitable for powering power generators.
