Abstract

A gravity prime mover intended to obtain driving force by utilizing gravity, in which weights (15) are provided so as to generate force for driving a rotating body (1) and to keep the above state and influence on the rotating body by means of a translation method. With fulcrums (14) of the weights (15) disposed in positions other than respective centers of gravity of the weights (15), torque is generated at the fulcrums and turned into force for driving the rotating body (1). At the same time, the deviation of the center of gravity from the fulcrum of the weight provides the moment of a force for the rotating body (1). Such kinds of force can continuously be obtained through translation of the weights. This prime mover can produce a constant power regardless of positions along the horizontal and vertical directions in which the weights are located.

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a gravitational engine capable of generating both a moment of force and torque by utilizing the action of gravity acting on a weight and continuously utilizing both forces by translating the weight. The present invention relates to a gravitational engine capable of continuously obtaining a constant power regardless of its position. Background art

The idea of a prime mover using gravity has traditionally been based on this principle, in which a similar weight is moved in the radial direction to generate a moment of force on a rotating body to achieve its purpose. Most of the time, we expected that the force on the side with the lower weight would be greater than the force on the side with the higher weight. However, considering the force to move the weight and the frictional resistance generated in the engine, it is a theoretical idea, and it is difficult to use it realistically.

Although the present invention does not deny that the basic principle is the leverage principle, as a result, the present invention has features that are significantly different from the conventional idea as follows.

If the mass of the weight is removed but the mass is ignored, most of the conventional ideas are based on the assumption that when the center of gravity of the weight is at the vertical position of the rotating body, the horizontal radial distance from the center of the fulcrum of the rotating body is zero, and no torque is generated. there were. Also, during the transition of the weight from vertical to horizontal and vice versa, the force generated by one weight changes.

On the other hand, the engine of the present invention can obtain a constant rotational force at any position where the weight is located. For example, it can achieve the same effect as a rotating body getting a constant rotational force from the outside with a motor, which is clearly different from previous ideas. It can also generate enough force to cope with the engine's frictional resistance and load.

The present invention uses power to generate power that can be used as another power source using gravity. It is intended to provide a method and apparatus. Disclosure of the invention

The present invention basically uses a method of parallel movement, and connects a weight to a part of the arm or the like that moves in parallel, and moves or holds the center of gravity of the weight to an advantageous position to determine the torque, the moment of force, and the like. By obtaining and using these translations, these mosquitoes are continued to become a gravitational engine.

According to the present invention, torque is generated at the weight fulcrum by providing the weight fulcrum at a point different from the center of gravity of the weight. At this time, the weight acts as a kind of gravitational motor because the direction of the force due to the torque is converted and transmitted in a manner that is advantageous for the desired rotation direction of the rotating body. At the same time, the moment of force is generated in the rotating body due to the horizontal distance between the center of gravity of the weight and the fulcrum of the rotating body. In addition, even if the position of the fulcrum of the weight changes due to the rotational motion of the engine, the weight is basically provided by using a parallel movement method so that the weight can maintain an arbitrary direction. As a result, the torque that produces the weight and the rotational force of the moment of force can be obtained continuously with the same magnitude, and a gravitational prime mover using gravity is obtained. Brief description of drawings

FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view showing a basic mechanism according to the present invention. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view showing an engine having a mechanism that can be used as a gravitational engine according to the present invention. The rotating body rotates counterclockwise on a vertical plane, and the weight is also counterclockwise. It is configured to perform parallel movement with.

Although two weights were used for easy understanding, the number, shape, material, etc. of the weights are not limited. Also, it is not necessary for each weight to face the same direction. As a method of parallel translation of the weight, Although the arrangements and linkages are shown, any other method can be used as it is possible with other devices and methods such as sprockets, chain plies and belts. The component configuration and mechanism can be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, since the capacity of the engine of the present invention is greatly affected not by the weight of the weight but by the horizontal distance between the fulcrum of the weight and the center of gravity of the weight, it is desirable to increase the distance between them.

In order for the weight to generate torque at the fulcrum, the weight (15) is fixed to the shaft (14), which is the fulcrum, by removing the center of gravity. Since the purpose of the weight at this time is to rotate the engine counterclockwise, the center of gravity of the weight (15) is set to the axis (14) in consideration of the moment of the force exerted on the rotating body (1) by the weight. Is provided on the left side of. In other words, when looking at the center of gravity of the weight from the fulcrum of the weight, the weight points to the left.

The shaft (14) has a gear (8) fixed at one end, and is supported by an arm (9) and a weight support (13). The torque generated when the weight (15) tries to rotate downward due to gravity is transmitted to other gears by the shaft (14) and the gear (8). The shaft (14) does not need to be in contact with the rotating body (1).

The weight support (13) is a part of the parallel link mechanism, and the center of the fulcrum and the center of the power take-off shaft (4), which is the fulcrum of the rotating body (1), are coaxial with the eccentric bearing (12). Shift by the diameter of the pitch circle. Each gear is assumed to have the same specifications for convenience.

The gear (3) is a sun gear fixed to the main bearing (2) in order to create a parallel movement function in the gear train. The gears (5) and (6) become planetary gears and rotate and revolve, but the gear (6) and the gear (7) are fixed on the same shaft.

The adjustment shaft (11) supported by the bearing (10) is used to change the direction of the eccentric bearing (12) and the direction of the weight (15). Can be used to change, but fix when not needed.

The power obtained by the engine is transferred to the power take-off shaft (4) fixed to the rotating body (1). Can be obtained from The power take-off shaft (4) is supported by the main bearing (2) and is coaxial with the adjusting shaft (11).

From the above, the torque generated on the shaft (14) by the weight (15) is applied to the fixed gear (3) through each gear, and the reaction force rotates the rotating body (1) counterclockwise. Power Since the weight moves in parallel, the force itself is constant regardless of the position of the weight. Also, by shifting the center of gravity of the weight to the left of the fulcrum, the moment of the force generated in the rotating body acts as a force to rotate the rotating body counterclockwise. When considering the balance of power assuming that the force to turn the power take-off shaft (4) counterclockwise is positive (+) and the force to turn clockwise is negative (-1), the center of the power take-off shaft (4) and the gear (6) Let L be the horizontal distance of the center of), X be the horizontal distance from the center of the axis (14) to the center of gravity of the weight (15), and W be the weight of the weight.

The force applied to the power take-off shaft (4) by the action of the weight is as follows. The constant torque generated by the weight (15) always applies a positive WX force to the power take-off shaft (4) at any position. Therefore, W (L + X) + WX on the side where the weight is lowered, and W (L + X) + WX on the side where the weight is raised against gravity, and a positive force of 2WX remains. As shown in Fig. 1, when the shaft (14) is located in the vertical direction of the power take-off shaft (4), it is sufficient to set L = 0, so the result is the same as WX + WX—WX + WX == 2WX .

From another viewpoint, it is assumed that the connecting parts such as gears are fixed in an arbitrary state, and the weight falls if the engine itself rotates as a rigid body around the power take-off shaft (4). On the side, W (L + X) and on the side where the weight rises, one positive force of 1 W (L-X) and 2WX remain, which is the same as the previous result.

Therefore, it can be said that this engine is characterized by the fact that the engine capacity is delegated to the fulcrum of the weight and the horizontal distance of the center of gravity in addition to the weight of the weight. Also, constant power can be stably obtained regardless of the direction of the center of gravity of the rotating body, such as vertical or horizontal, in any direction. Industrial applicability

The gravity engine of the present invention can be used in the same manner as a motor using wind power or hydraulic power. It also has the advantage that energy can be obtained at all times, regardless of weather or location.

On the other hand, power adjustment is not always easy compared to other engines, so equipment such as tunnel lighting, large electric heaters, and other equipment that requires a constant load, and equipment that does not require detailed control, etc. Or it is particularly suitable for powering base loads during fluctuating loads.
