Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate large driving force by arranging a pendulum and the like on a position apart from a shaft of a rotor, perform a rolling operation of a main body case utilizing centrifugal force of the pendulum generated by rotating the rotor on its own axis, and utilizing a stride operation generated by the rolling operation to driving force. SOLUTION: A pendulum 2 is arranged on a position apart from a shaft (a rotary shaft) 1 of a rotor, a rolling operation is performed on an external case 3 utilizing centrifugal force of the pendulum 2 generated by rotating the rotor on its own axis, and the rolling operation is utilized as a driving force of stride. Namely, the rolling operation is generated by rotating the rotor on its own axis so as to swing the whole for composing a propulsion mechanism while gravitating to centrifugal force of a pendulum 2. When one point of the case is earthed in this condition, the stride operation is repeated by its point so as to generate driving force of one direction. The case 3 is hung to wheels which are rolled on a rail 6 for example through a supporting frame 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Object of the Invention When trying to obtain a large torque from a rotor, such as a motor or an engine, which is generally put into practical use. A method of converting a rotational motion having a large number of rotations and a small torque into a rotational movement having a small number of rotations and a large torque is often used. It is mainly constructed by combining gears having different gear ratios and utilizing this principle. When the gears are stacked to increase the gear ratio in order to obtain more torque, the size of the mechanism is inevitably increased. We sought to find out if we could get torque for propulsion with fewer parts and a smaller and simpler configuration, and came up with the principle of stride propulsion by this reaction of centrifugal force.

Configuration The feature of this propulsion is that the centrifugal force generated by an unbalanced rotor is used as a drive source. When the outer case rolls under the centrifugal force, the movement is used as the driving force of the stride. Originally, the rotor is set so that the shaft is located at the position of the center of gravity. Due to this, the rotor can rotate fastest in the most stable state without fluctuation. Here, a heavy object is fixed to the axis of the rotor at a position distant from the axis serving as the center of the rotor (moment generated by a pendulum or the like). After that the rotor rotates. Rolling is performed such that the whole of these mechanisms is swung by the centrifugal force of the pendulum. As the rotor rotates (with a pendulum), the case that covers it is pulled by the centrifugal force of the pendulum. The greater this force, the stronger the rolling. The case moves in a manner that compensates for the force drawn by the centrifugal force. When one point of this case is brought into contact with the ground, the point repeats the stride motion to obtain a propulsive force in one direction. Although the pendulum is mainly installed at both ends of the rotor shaft, there are two types of installation methods when viewed broadly. The form of propulsion is the same for stride movements, but the way of supporting the case must be changed as follows to make the movement more efficient. (Refer to the attached drawing) An attached drawing: An example in which this mechanism is used for a curtain rail is shown.
(Used as a self-propelled runner.) Alternate stride method (Walking method) When viewed from the side, when the position of each pendulum is 180 degrees. At this time, both ends of the case are alternately drawn with a stride and grounded. In order not to hinder this movement, it is necessary to make the both ends freely movable around the center of the shaft as a fulcrum. (FIG.
1 and the movement is shown in FIG. ) Simultaneous stride method (hopping method) When viewed from the side, the position of each pendulum is 0 degrees. At this time, both ends of the case are simultaneously grounded by drawing a stride. In order not to hinder this movement, it is necessary to support the entire axis so that it can move. (
FIG. Refer to Figure 2, Figure / Figure 'to show the movement. ) Effects 1. There are few parts such as gears and the mechanism is simple.

2. The rotation direction of the rotor directly corresponds to the propulsion direction.

3. No matter how much load is applied to the rolling motion, the rotor does not stop. (Electric motors can avoid knocking stalling in coiled short engines.) When trying to stop the movement of this case, the centrifugal force is reflected in the rotation speed.
