Abstract

A centrifugal drive with guided centrifugal masses (2) is characterized by a continuous figure-of-eight track (1) with two track loops connected by straight connecting sections. During one revolution on the track (1) each centrifugal mass (2) travels once on the outside of one track loop and once on the inside of the other track loop, with the centre of gravity at different distances (r1? and r2?), respectively, from the centre of the corresponding track loop and therefore also at different speeds (v1? and v2?), respectively, so that a thrust (Fs?) equal to the difference between the centrifugal forces at opposite angular regions ($g(a)) of the track loops is exerted outward from the track loop with the larger distance (r1?) of the centrifugal masses (2) from the centre of gravity.

Description

F L I E H K R A F T - AN T R I E B

The invention relates to a centrifugal drive by means of guided flywheels.

The object of the invention is to create a centrifugal drive by means of guided centrifugal masses, which generates a continuously acting, directed thrust force, which, moreover, builds up the centrifugal force without support from its center of rotation, even without support on a medium such as earth , Water, air or fire works.

The solution to this problem according to the invention is carried out by teaching according to the characterizing part of A n s p r u c h s

A guideway pattern is e.g. can be produced as follows: a paper strip approx. 300 mm long and 15 mm wide is held at one end and rotated by 360 ° at the other end, after which the two ends are joined together, e.g. by gluing.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

The thrust force released increases with the angular velocity ω or the velocity v squared, so that with a relatively small centrifugal force drive considerable thrust forces can be generated which act without the support media mentioned.

The thrust force increasing to the square does not, however, require an equally large force

Increase in drive energy, because the centrifugal force that generates thrust acts only indirectly, so that a primary drive only the flywheel masses to the desired

Accelerate angular velocity and only have to cover the friction losses with constant circulation.

The acceleration power does not need to be much greater than is needed to cover the friction losses if the primary drive has enough time to start up the flywheel masses.

This means that the centrifugal drive is not to be dimensioned according to the force-power principle, but, in comparison with the conventional drives, requires less than 2% of the drive power in order to achieve an equally large thrust force. produce. Thus, not every near-earth vehicle has to carry its own energy generator, which is useful for ships or space vehicles, preferably as an arrangement according to claim 11 and / or as a solar generator.

As a source of energy, a conventional battery pack, which allows an electric car to drive only about 125 km with a charge, is more than sufficient, because, because of the 98% energy saving according to the invention, about 6,000 km can be driven with a charge according to the invention.

As a closed system, the centrifugal drive according to the invention only reacts to external accelerations and decelerations, and it behaves at constant speed as if it were not present.

In this way, a renewed acceleration thrust can be "saddled" to every speed already reached in order to achieve very high vehicle speeds.

For road vehicles, a FÜehkiaft drive according to the invention is sufficient for accelerating and braking if it is arranged pivotably in the direction of travel.

With a constant flywheel speed, the thrust is directed downwards when the vehicle is at a standstill and forwards or backwards when driving or braking.

For suspended traffic - vehicles near the earth are arranged for the purpose of safety, lateral thrust compensation and good maneuverability, two centrifugal drives according to the invention pivotable on all sides, the flywheels can rotate at a constant speed.

With this construction, gravity acts as a stabilizing counter pole, and the thrust of the individual centrifugal drives can be directed so that they cancel each other out, add up or act as the resulting thrust.

As a result, such vehicles can start, fly and decelerate, hover, lift loads or the like very quickly.

For space vehicles that need to stabilize without an opposite pole, three or more centrifugal drives according to the invention are required in order to enable all control nanoevers quickly and precisely. Otherwise, the structure is similar to that for suspended traffic near the earth.

For above and underwater vehicles, one swiveling centrifugal drive according to the invention in the bow and stern is sufficient to achieve an unprecedented maneuverability without propeller and rudder. A known state of the art comes close in structure and operation of the invention.

In previous experiments with the same goal, the effects of rotating masses cancel each other out or generate unusable forces or jumping movements.

DE -A- 253 469 (GROSSMANN) describes a "centrifugal gear ^H in which flywheels A are arranged on a radius R (FIG. 1) about an axis b, each rotating on its own axis a, while axes a and b stand at an angle of approximately 90 ° to each other.

The masses move around the axis a with the speed V 2 and at the same time with the speed v \ around the axis b.

The speeds v \ and v 2 add up only at the moment of

Passage A (Fig. 2) and subtract at the same moment (v 1 - v 2) on the opposite side in the passage point A ", where a differential thrust in direction P is to occur.

However, it was overlooked here that the masses A also generate their own radially directed centrifugal force, which, as can be seen from the flywheel mass positions A ', A ¹ "(FIG. 2), together with the thrust force P" together the thrust force Counteract force P and thus completely neutralize each other.

No matter how the masses and axes are adjusted to each other, the forces in this system always neutralize each other, so that only undesired torque and unbalance effects remain.

US -A- 4884465 (ZACHYTAL) and DE -B- 1 476678 (DI BELLA) want to generate a resulting thrust force by a rotating centrifugal mass by simultaneously rotating it about a second axis that is perpendicular to the centrifugal mass axis.

However the flywheel is guided, it points in a different direction at every moment of its rotation, cannot form resultants with itself and can only produce jumping movements. DE -A- 2046865 (POHLIG - HECKEL - BLEICHERT ... AG): a "balancing gear" with the same structure and operation as above in US -A- 4 884465 and DE -B- 1 467 678 is intended for upward thrust forces produce.

The arrangement of four flywheels now eliminates the transverse forces, but this does not prevent Coriolis forces from being generated by the transverse rotations.

These Coriolis forces counteract and neutralize the pulsating Füelikraft veitical forces.

Since the function is only given at the same angular velocities around the x and y axis, the force ratio centrifugal force to Coriolis force cannot be changed by anything.

FR -A- 2216461 (MIZRAKE) states that the masses circulating within a circular path produce a directed centrifugal force when the motor driving the masses is displaced from its central position.

However, since, as is particularly emphasized, the masses are flexibly connected to the drive, the drive axle displacement does not even create an imbalance, let alone a directed centrifugal force. The masses continue to follow their given path as if they were circling around a fixed wave.

The arrangement (shown there in FIG. 1) of achieving the same goal by way of rail depressions cannot be taken seriously.

The invention is explained in more detail, for example, on the basis of the drawing.

Show it:

F i g. 1 and 2

On a twisted 8 (eight) similar guideway 1, as many flywheels 2 are arranged as possible, each of which is carried by roller carriages 3 with six rollers 4 each and, if possible, in the neutral point by tension or pressure elements, e.g. . B. a rope 5 are kept at the same mutual (minimum) distance.

As an alternative to the roller carriage 3, each with six rollers 4, the roller portion can be halved by a different track profile or a direct ball guide can be installed.

A magnetic levitation train using superconductors is also conceivable for very high speeds. The guide track 1 according to the invention causes the flywheel masses 2 to change their center of gravity distance r and thus their track speed v twice during one revolution, so that a directional centrifugal thrust F _s arises which can be calculated on the basis of the centrifugal force law:

F s = ^m sl '! ² / r ι - m _{s 2} ^* v ₂ ² / r ₂ with m _s = k * mk = coefficient greater than 2 depending on the respective path loops - radius as well as distances and positions of the flywheels 2 in the angular range of the respective path Loop, m = mass of a single flywheel 2.

With a preferred same path-loop diameter d ₀ then simply applies

(r i - r2)

The centrifugal forces acting against each other in the angular range ß = 68 ° neutralize each other, while in the angular range = 112 ° differential shear forces act in the thrust direction F _s ; each flywheel mass 2, which passes through the angular range = 112 °, forms a continuously increasing and decreasing resultant curve which overlaps the resultant curves of the other flywheel masses 2 in this angular range α, which results in an almost continuous thrust Force F _s secures. The guide track 1 is suspended via a circumferential rib at three points on the (only schematically indicated) housing, namely at the bottom the led-out rib is connected directly to the housing and indirectly via the pipe 11 via a tube 11 to the housing.

The guideway 1 can be left or right-handed, so that undesired side thrusts are neutralized when arranged in pairs.

The path twist always runs in the specified direction of rotation, and the twist angle is the same everywhere, even on the straight connecting sections between the path loops.

For an idle-free roller run, the roller carriages 3 are accordingly positioned at an angle η relative to one another, namely by beveling the roller carriage connecting plates 6 on both sides:

= X ^• 180 ° / L _B ^• 2 with

X = roller distance

Lj $ = guideway length.

Each flywheel 2 is pivotally screwed to the roller carriage 3 with two bolts 7.

In order to keep the flywheel 2 in the middle position, eight springs 8 are mutually connected to the connecting plate 6 and the flywheel 2.

The acceleration and deceleration forces that arise from the constant change in speed of the inertia masses 2 are neutralized via the tension or pressure elements connecting all the inertia masses 2, here the rope 5.

However, in order to keep the load on the connecting elements as low as possible, the movable mass suspension between the springs 8 extends the acceleration or deceleration path and thus reduces the load.

F i g. 3

shows an alternative to the spring suspension in that high-energy permanent magnet strips 12 replace the springs 8.

The permanent magnet strips 12 are arranged in such a way that their force field holds the flywheels 2 in the central position and enables a wear-free compensation stroke on both sides. With this construction, however, elastic stroke limits (not shown) are expedient.

In order to increase the adjusting force, the permanent magnet strips 12 can also be arranged in such a way that the repelling poles interact with one another frontally.

F i g. 1 and 2 :

An electromagnetic primary drive for the flywheels 2 resembles a cut-open and stretched squirrel-cage motor, cages with anchor rods 9 being fastened to the roller carriages 3, while a field winding 10 is arranged stationary over the straight connecting sections of the guideway 1.

F i g. 4

shows a modified embodiment of the electromagnetic primary drive for smaller centrifugal drives.

Magnetic coils 13 are arranged in pairs above the straight connecting sections of the guideway 1 and act on soft-iron plates 14 on the roller carriage 3 by means of electronic pulse control (not shown) which is known per se.

The direction of rotation Z is predetermined by an actuation clock IV.

4, the one soft iron plate 14 was pulled in the clock position I to the middle of the coil, while the previous soft iron plate 14 reached the coil edge in the clock position π.

Now the magnetic coil 13 is excited in the clock position π and the soft iron plate 14 is again drawn to the center of the coil.

This is repeated up to clock position V and then starts again in clock position I.

In this way, a constant thrust movement of the flywheel masses 2 is generated, which is infinitely variable in accordance with the electronic control pulses. While the thrust force can be used directly in vehicles, the generation of electrical energy requires a detour via a rotating movement.

F i g. 5

shows in two views an arrangement in which eight centrifugal drives 16 according to the invention are mounted on two opposite axles 17 and 18 and drive four generators 20 via a planetary gear.

This arrangement shows how the required high output speed can be achieved even with slowly rotating axles 17 and 18.

The upper axis cross 17 acts via an internal ring gear 21 and the lower axis cross 18 via a web 22 on a gear 23 and further via

Gear 24 on a drive shaft 25.

A bevel gear 26 is used to distribute the gear to the four generators 20 via a countershaft 27, which enables flexible adaptation to the power required in each case.

Two FÜeMcraft drives 16 each generate the torque for one generator 20 and form the smallest unit in this arrangement.
