Abstract

The present invention relates to a system, mechanism or machine which transforms the gravity effect (gravitational energy) into rotational kinetic energy (torque) in the output axis wherein the gravity effect varies the rotational kinetic energy due to the motion of a system or assembly of mass bodies M moving in a closed curved trajectory (in the plane or twisted curve in the space) cyclically and continuously time wise. In order to have Mt = R F as a variable magnitude (the force is considered constant), the magnitude R will have to be variable throughout the closed curved trajectory and additionally its value will have to be higher in the gravity direction than in the direction contrary to the gravitational field G.

Description

SYSTEM, MECHANISM OR MACHINE THAT TRANSFORMS THE EFFECT OF GRAVITY (GRAVITATORY ENERGY) IN KINETIC ENERGY OF ROTATION (TORSOR MOMENT) IN THE OUTPUT AXIS. The present invention relates to a system, mechanism or machine that transforms the effect of gravity (gravitational energy) into kinetic energy of rotation (torsor moment) on the output shaft, conceived so that the effect of gravity varies the kinetic energy of rotation due to the movement of a system or set of bodies that move along a closed curved path (in the plane or curve warped in space) cyclically and continuously in time. The machine of the invention can be applied in different sectors, such as agriculture, automotive, shipbuilding, production of electrical energy, machinery and mechanical or other equipment, etc. It must be borne in mind that using the same system you can build macromachines, machines for domestic or industrial use, and micromachines for different uses.

_Up. As of the date, there is no known system that provides energy as a consequence or effect of the field or gravitational force, with the exception of hydroelectric power plants (they take advantage of the kinetic energy developed by a body of water located at a certain height when precipitating, from continuously, on the rotary hydraulic wheel of the turbine) or tidal power plants (which take advantage of the unevenness caused by the tides) that is used at the level of domestic, industrial or other use.

On the other hand, the different mechanisms (engines, generators, etc.) that are currently manufactured and marketed need a contribution of enegia other than gravitational energy to produce a job.

This system provides clean and ecological energy (it does not create direct, even indirect waste) over time. The object of the present invention is to develop a machine for the exposed purpose, by means of which a variable kinetic energy of rotation (torque) variable from zero to a maximum value can be arranged on the output shaft. It is based on different fundamental equations or principles having as a cause magnitude the effect of the gravitational field.

For a better understanding, at first some theoretical aspects will be analyzed in order to explain in detail a specific example.

For this, consider an intrinsic trihedron formed by the horizontal (PH), vertical (PV) and profile (PP) planes that are cut perpendicularly to each other, located in space. Said trihedron is oriented such that the direction of the gravitational field G is perpendicular to the plane PH of the trihedron. It is understood that the trihedron can be oriented in infinite positions while maintaining the condition of perpendicularity between the PH and the direction of the gravitational field. Consider the axis that results from the intersection of the PH and PV planes, and a material point of mass M whose force vector is F = MG, with M being the mass of the material point and G the attraction of the gravitational field. Let's take any point OR of the axis. The vector product of the vector R originating at the point O and extreme at the point of application of F by said force will produce a torque on the axis equal to Mt = R ΛF.

What we want to achieve is that the force F (sequence of the mass M of a material point within a gravitational field) moves to that material point around dor of the shaft indefinitely.

Consider the trajectory Tr of the material point contained in the PP plane or a plane parallel to the PP, or a curved Tr trajectory warped in space (Figure 1), with the only condition that said curve be closed, so that afterwards of a route, the material point returns to the initial position.

Let us concretize the question further, that is, the path Tr of the material point will be contained in the PP plane and that point will revolve around the point O of the axis that will also be contained in the PP plane (Figure 1).

As Figure 1 shows, the point O is formed by the intersection of the X axis (PH) and the Y axis (PV). The material point of mass M describes a closed Tr path around point O. In said trajectory we have at least four points that have a maximum value on the X and Y axes. In our specific case, said points they are: point A (Y max. positive), point B (X max. positive), point C (Y max. negative) and point D (X max. negative).

Let us consider that the direction of movement of the material point is hourly, so if at first the material point is in A, the cycle I would describe would be the following: ABCDA. Consider Figure 2 similar to Figure 1, but that will facilitate the explanation. In it, the trajectory Tr of the closed curve ABCDA is formed by the semicircle ABC with center at the point O, and the semiplip CDA with center at the point O, and whose major resemblance is equal to the radius of the semicircle . In addition, the direction of the gravitational field is perpendicular to the X axis and its direction from + Y to -Y. On the other hand, the intersection of the curved path with the + Y, + X, -Y and -X axes form points A, B, C and D. There are only two points on the path Tr (points A and C) in which the material point of mass M does not perform any torsor moment Mo with respect to the point O. If we consider positive the torsor moment in a clockwise sense and negative the one made in the anti-clockwise direction, so that a material point of mass M located in A (figure 2), perform a complete cycle and also move indefinitely, cycle after cycle, it must be fulfilled that the torsor moment Mo = R Λ F in the ABC curve is greater than the torsor moment in the cur ¬ goes CDA. For this, since the force magnitude is going to be considered a constant, the magnitude R will have to be variable along the Tr curve path, and its value will have to be greater in the ABC curve than in the CDA curve. If we place different material points angularly offset from each other and on paths similar to Tr, and rotating around the axis (intersection of the PH and PV planes) in PP parallel to each other, the torque that Mt will provide will be the summary of the torsoing moments of each one. This being so, the initial position of the material points is of no importance since, at all times, they would be providing torque to the axis. That is, the axis would continue to move indefinitely. Now, if we take into account the possibility that the PP can rotate with respect to the axis, we can achieve that at the beginning and at any other time in time the torque is zero.

The trajectory Tr of Figure 2 is symmetrical with respect to the X axis (maximum torque). If we consider the fixed X and Y coordinate axes, and take into account that all PP parallel to each other can rotate with respect to the axis so that all paths are symmetrical with respect to the Y axis (point A of the axis of symmetry And would occupy the position of point B on the X axis, rotation of 902 of the PP planes) we will have that the torsor moment that the different material points would provide in the new position of the different paths Tr, would be equal to zero.

Since it is possible to rotate the planes: PP containing the trajectories in which the material points move (considering point A on the X axis) if we rotate the PP counterclockwise we would create positive torso moments, but turning the PP clockwise we would create negative torrent moments. This would allow us to cancel the positive torso moments created. That is, stop the system or set of material points that are in motion. That is, the present invention shows us a mechanism by which we have a kinetic energy of rotation (torsor moment) variable from zero to a maximum value.

Throughout the analysis, the concept of "Gravitational energy is transformed into a kinetic rotation synergy" has been used. I think it is necessary to clarify this issue.

The first Principle of Thermodynamics diu.e: "Energy is neither created nor destroyed, if not only transformed."

We know that a material point of mass M, p _* _r the position it occupies in a force field has a potential energy equal to Ep = MGH. H is the height of the material point with respect to a certain reference level. In our case, after one cycle, these material points occupy the same position, so that their potential energy remains constant.

In addition, a material point due to its movement

2 has a kinetic energy of Ec = (1/2) MV, where V is the velocity of said material point along the trajectory. If at first, said material point is at rest, and as a consequence of the gravitational field moves, I understand that there is an energy as a result of the gravitational field at the material point (gravitational energy) that is transformed into kinetic energy of rotation. And I would like to add more: "A material point subject to a gravitational field G can be moved in time along a closed curve and around a previously defined axis." All the exposed characteristics will be more easily understood with the following description, made with reference to the attached drawings, where a possible embodiment is shown, given by way of non-limiting example. Figure 1 shows a graph or general diagram referring to the movement of a material point of mass M on a curved path Tr contained in the PP plane or a curved path warped in space, around point O of the axis (intersecting axis of the PV and PH planes). Said figure 1 has been sufficiently developed previously.

Figure 2 shows a graph or diagram similar to figure 1. Said figure 2 has been developed previously. Figure 3 shows a possible embodiment of the invention. It shows the elevation views (cut-CD) and plan (cut-AB) of the mechanism.

First of all, it must be very clear that with the same system you can build macromachines, machines for domestic or industrial use, and micromachines, in which a possible form of realization can differ, although it does not differ at all The base idea. Therefore, the analysis will be rather general. The main elements that make up the mechanism, the different movements between them and the possible applications will be analyzed. industrial relations.

The base element or part on which all other parts will be mounted is a housing or frame 1. The shape of said housing 1 can be of tubular section of a given length. The drum 3 is located inside the housing 1. The outer shape of its section may be circular (similar to the inner shape of the housing 1) and the inner shape of its section will have a shape similar to the trajectory. guide 4 in which the end 10 of the arm 6 will move. The front and rear bases of the housing 1 and the drum 3 are joined by the bearings 7, in which the drum 3 rotates with respect to the housing 1 fixed The ends of the shaft 2 are guided in the bearings 8 of the drum 3. That is, the drum 3 can rotate in the bearings 7 with respect to the fixed housing 1, and the shaft 2 rotates in the bearings 8 with respect to the drum 3. The drum 3, in sections perpendicular to its axis but parallel to each other (on the inside of the drum) has a series of guides 4 in which the ends 10 of the arms will move 6. The guide path 4 it can be similar to that shown in figure 2. In it, the path Tr of the closed curve ABCDA is formed by the semicircle ABC with center in the axis, and the semielipse CDA with center in the same axis, and whose semi-axis greater is equal to the radius of the semicircle. The ends 9 of the arms 6 slide radially in the bearings or guides of the axis 2. These guides or bearings of the axis 2 where the arms 6 move can be angularly offset with each other (in figure 3 we have 7 arms distributed in a cycle, that is, in 3602 so the angular offset of said arms 6 is approx. 512). The arms 6 slide along bearings or guides located along axis 2. Except in exceptional cases, the number of guide bearings on axis 2 and the number of guide paths 4 on the drum will be milar Along the arms 6, bodies of mass M (regardless of the mass of the arms 6 and their respective bearings-guide 10) can be placed in order to increase the torque at axis 2.

The operation of the mechanism could be as follows: a) Initially, axis 2 would not rotate. For this, the guide paths 4 of the drum 3 would have to be symmetrical with respect to the PV plane. That is, the drum 3 is rotated clockwise S until point A is in the 902 position. The torque provided by the different bodies of mass M clockwise would be equal to that provided in the clockwise direction. counterclockwise T. b) Axis 2 is at rest. If we rotate drum 3 clockwise S we would have a torque equal to Mt = RΛ F, and its direction would be counter clockwise. In the same way, turning the drum 3 counterclockwise T the direction of the torque obtained would be hourly. c) The torque will be maximum at the position of the drum 3 in which the guide paths 4 of said drum 3 were symmetrical to the plane PH. d) By rotating the drum 3 in an S or T direction as appropriate, we vary the torque of the output shaft 2 in value and in direction, from zero to a maximum value.
