NL1018540C2 - Gravity powered motor has rotor with gas-filled chambers and moveable weights on radial arms which are linked by gas-filled tubes - Google Patents

Abstract

The rotor has a number of gas-filled cylinders at intervals around its circumference. Each cylinder contains a heavy piston, which compresses the gas when the piston is above the gas volume. The cylinders are all connected together via radial pipes. The rotor is submerged in water. The motive force is produced by the buoyancy of the cylinders on the way up and the downward movement of the pistons on the way down.

Description

Methodology and resulting systems to convert a gravitational field into a continuous torque.

The invention relates to devices and related methodology with which energy can be extracted from the presence of a gravitational field as a result of a continuous torque following a continuous, self-sustaining imbalance.

The method described below for generating usable energy in the form of a continuously present torque is not a so-called perpetuum mobile. After all, there is no question of generating energy from scratch, nor is there a system in which no energy losses occur. The method to be described here creates a constant torque as a result of the presence of a gravitational field. Gravity is the driving force for the system described here. If gravity is no longer available, it will no longer be possible to create a torque according to the method described here.

The method described here can be described as gravity conversion in which the energy field of gravity is converted into a continuously present torque with which one can directly drive various devices mechanically or indirectly with the aid of electricity generated by direct drive of a generator according to the method mentioned here .

The use of gravity in the manner described here often encounters skepticism. The common belief is that a conversion, as suggested here, is not possible. However, if one takes a sailing boat as an example which is also able to sail against the linear force of the wind or a cooling which works as a result of a heat source (ammonia absorption cooling), then it is also easier to understand the concept whereby one can generate continuous imbalance using a continuous linear gravity. It would be going too far here to present a scientific treatise on gravity matter. However, the "gravity conversion" method discussed here can be understood with a few simple laws of nature.

According to the method described here, a continuous imbalance will arise within a rotatable system as a result of the displacement of a quantity of liquid substance from one half of the system to the other half. This displacement takes place by propulsion of liquid on one side and suction of liquid on the other side of the system by masses exerting a different force on the liquid surface than the hydrostatic force of the liquid at that location, the force being exerted with devices designated as "fluid-displacing devices" in the further text. The manner in which these fluid-displacing devices are constructed is such that, due to the rotation of the rotating system in which they are incorporated, they change their operation as a result of the gravitational field moving from fluid-inducing to fluid-driving and vice-versa. This makes it possible to maintain or generate a continuous imbalance in the system. Depending on the placement method of the fluid displacing devices, the system will become either left or right turning. A bidirection system is also possible in which an initiated rotation direction is maintained.

With rotating systems with few liquid-displacing devices, it is important that there is an even number (at least two) to guarantee a continuous imbalance. As more fluid displacement devices are used, the effect of finding the equilibrium of the system when using an odd number of fluid displacement units will become smaller and expire at a given moment. However, preference still remains for an even number of fluid displacing units so that the masses of the fluid displacing devices can be placed in equilibrium with each other around the pivot point of the system.

Fluid displacing devices:

In Figure 1, some variants of the fluid-displacing devices have been lifted.

The liquid displacing devices have the function, on the one hand, of arranging a phase separation between gas and liquid and, on the other hand, they must, as a result of a force exerted on the (liquid) phase separating surface by means of a mass, propel the liquid phase away or suction where the gas phase will expand or compress accordingly. The gas side of the liquid-displacing device can, in addition to being designed as a closed space, also be designed in a manner that it has a connection with the gas side of one (for example, overlying liquid-displacing device) or several other liquid-displacing devices. It is also possible to connect the gas side with the atmosphere. The choice will depend on the type of system in which the 4 fluid displacement devices are used. The operation of the individual fluid displacing devices will change during the rotation cycle of the rotating system in which they are incorporated as a result of the changing force exerted on the phase separating plane (change of hydrostatic pressure on the one hand and change of resultant force of mass in the phase separating plane on the other) from fluid suction on the side where the fluid mass surplus 10 is located to fluid propelling on the other side. The fluid displacing devices should preferably be incorporated in pairs in the rotating system, they should be mirrored from each other with respect to the center (in the case of a rotating system with one pivot) and with an even distribution of the distance to each other so that the mass center of gravity, considered axially, of the rotating system without liquid lies as much as possible in the pivot point (with a system with one pivot point).

Method of creating continuous imbalance and some systems based on this:

In order to obtain a rotating system which is in a continuous imbalance due to gravity, a rotating system is required in which liquid-displacing devices are included which continuously move part of the liquid present in the system from one part to the other part. Depending on the segment, 30 of the rotating system, in which a fluid-displacing device is located, it will suck in or push away fluid. In a system which must be bidirectional, the liquid-displacing devices in the segment above the pivot point (axially observed) must, on balance, have a fluid-inducing effect and the liquid-displacing devices below the pivot point must on balance be fluid-propelling. With a system that must have a right-hand direction of rotation, the fluid-displacing devices on the left-hand side must push away liquid on balance and suck on the right-hand side on balance. In a system that must have a left-hand direction of rotation, the fluid-displacing devices 10 must propel liquid away on the right-hand side and suck in the net on the left-hand side.

The degree of gravity conversion into a torque depends, among other things, on the alignment of the fluid-displacing devices.

The optimum alignment will be between radial and tangential. A one-way system has a larger conversion than a bidirectional system. Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 show a few systems with one pivot point which can perform work according to the methods mentioned here as a result of a continuous imbalance in the system. Figures 2, 3, and 4 depict systems that have a one-way action. Figure 5 shows a system that can provide work in both directions of rotation. The systems shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 serve only to illustrate the operating principle, whereby it should be noted that the alignment of the fluid-displacing devices need not necessarily be the operating or optimum. Figure 6 shows a system with two pivot points that will perform work according to the method described here.

The system shown in Figure 6 is a one-way system. With the system in Figure 6, the imbalance, as a result of the system limits being redefined, will be described as a difference in upward force. A 6 system as in Figure 6 will often be less practical in practice. Further elaboration on the application of the method described here to obtain work from a system with a continuous imbalance is limited to systems with one pivot point, but they also apply globally to a system comprising more pivot points. The systems shown in figures 2 and 4 (and in fact also figure 6) are systems in which the liquid-displacing devices are completely incorporated in the liquid phase 10. Minimizing the liquid mass will result in systems as shown in figures 3 and 5. A system as in figure 6 can also be minimized in size, whereby for example a jacob-ladder-like construction is obtained in which the liquid phases are interconnected in the liquid displacing devices with a hose connection and thus the entire construction need not be submerged in a liquid phase.

There are various methods to increase the effectiveness of the systems on the one hand and to increase the power supplied on the other. The effectiveness can be increased relatively easily by connecting the mutual or overlying gas spaces to each other or by connecting the gas space to the atmosphere. This will allow more fluid displacement in the fluid displacing devices, resulting in a greater continuous imbalance. Figure 2 shows a mutual connection of the gas spaces and Figure 3 shows a system in which the gas spaces are connected to the atmosphere.

Furthermore, when applying a greater distance from the fluid displacing devices to the pivot point of the system, a greater torque will be generated in the system. Also, the ability to deliver work 7 increases by employing fluid displacing devices that have the ability to move a lot of fluid. An even further increase in the work done can be achieved by including more fluid displacing devices in a system, for example by expansion in axial and radial direction.

Other influences which influence the systems and which can be used to increase or decrease the operation of the systems 10, and thus enable controllable systems, are changes in the pressure (at some height of the system) of liquid and / or gas phase or change of forces on the phase separating surfaces of the fluid displacing devices with the aid of springs and the like.

For example, one could increase the pressure in the liquid phase by adding liquid and decreasing by draining liquid. In a system where the gas phase is connected to the environment in which the system 20 is installed, it is possible to influence the pressure of the gas phase, for example, by placing the system in a closed space in which the pressure can be varied.

By way of illustration: It is expected that a rotating system as in Figure 3 with water as a liquid, the arm lengths being 60 cm with 8 tangentially oriented liquid displacing devices (cylindrical) which are 30 cm long in which frictionless pistons of 15 cm with a diameter of 4.5 cm and 30 material stainless steel working at the top sucks in liquid and after having rotated approximately 220 to 230 degrees, liquid is pushed away again. This means that if liquid suction devices are filled 4 times on the right-hand side (in this case with approximately 240 grams of water each time) on the 8 left side at most 1 liquid-displacing device will be filled. On balance, therefore, the filled liquid-displacing devices with liquid-displacing devices on the opposite side (in this example 3 pieces containing approximately 720 grams of water in total) will cause the imbalance.

An invention like this can have major economic consequences as the economy is based to a large extent on energy prices. It is therefore important that the introduction of this technology be thoughtful and responsible. The inventor of this idea will also attempt to act as such and may involve stakeholders from the energy sector. Since an invention such as this can put major interests of others at stake, the invention is also secured with third parties, well-protected, so that if something happens to the inventor this will not prevent implementation of the invention.
