Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device that can generate perpetual rotational kinetic energy by the controlled action of a reasonably undiminishing force (of an energy source) on rigid bodies.
  • the present invention proposes a device that ensures that the driving force and the energy of the energy source remains undiminished while kinetic energy is being continuously imparted to the rotor thus resulting in generation (creation) of perpetual rotational kinetic energy.
  • a phenomenon can be realised by understanding and applying concepts like 'Pre-action Force', 'Rotationally Portable Potential (RPP) Energy source', 'Discrete Bodies', and 'Genero'.
  • the magnitude and direction of the pair of action and pre-action forces emanating from it should be symmetrical about the axis of rotation of the body at any given rotational position.
  • RPP energy sources are springs, pneumatic, vacuum- air-pressure potential, hydraulic, thermodynamic, magnetic, electro-static, chemical, gravitational etc.
  • a helical spring can be mounted on a rotating rigid body in such a way that it fulfils the above conditions to become a RPP energy source.
  • the RPP energy source can be of two types namely degradable and non-degradable. Muscular energy, chemical energy (battery) and spring energy sources are degradable because with the passage of time, as it is used statically, the intensity of the paired forces (action and pre-action) emanating from them diminishes due to internal structure change of the energy source.
  • Pneumatic, vacuum-air-pressure potential, hydraulic, thermodynamic, magnetic, electro-static and gravitational are non-degradable because with the passage of time, as it is used statically, the intensity of the paired forces (action and pre-action) emanating from them does not diminish (as there is no internal structure change), for all reasonably pragmatic purposes, unless there is an external influence.
  • any physical single or group of rigid bodies that do not have mutually relative freedom of motion can be termed as a discrete body.
  • the discrete body on which the final applied/action force is acting is termed as the target discrete body.
  • the discrete body on which the initial pre- action force is acting is termed as the support discrete body.
  • the cylinder on which the initial pre-action force is acting
  • all bolts, nuts etc. attached to it can be together one discrete body called the support body.
  • the support body If the cylinder is bolted to the ground, then the whole of the earth becomes a part of the support discrete body. In other words, the mass inertia of the earth, cylinder, bolts, nuts etc. put together is acting as the support body.
  • the piston (on which the final action force is acting) along with its integrally fitted parts form another discrete body called the target discrete body.
  • Genero is a discrete body that is mounted on another discrete body (prime- mover) that is free to rotate about an axis A_1 such that it (Genero) has freedom of rotation about an axis A_2 which is in any direction except being either co-planar and parallel to A_1 or coincident to A_1 (ideally A_1 & A_2 could be co-planar & perpendicular to each other).
  • the non-degradable RPP energy source being mounted on the prime-mover, exerts an undiminishing pair of action force A on Genero and pre-action force pA on the prime-mover at a radius R1 , from axis A_1 ; both of these forces being co-linear, equal and opposite in direction
  • the pair of Genero and prime-mover is comparable to the conventional pair of piston-cylinder of a reciprocating engine. In the former pair, the physical separation between the Genero and the prime-mover remains unchanged and hence the pair of action and pre-action forces remains undiminished whereas in the latter pair, the physical separation between the piston and cylinder increases (during expansion stroke) and hence has a diminishing effect on the pair of action and pre-action forces.).
  • the action force A induces a moment in the Genero about the axis A_2.
  • the Genero exerts the Driving force DF on the prime-mover at a radius R2, from axis A_1 , such that R2 is not equal to R1.
  • the resultant rotational moment DM (the vector sum of the moments, about axis A_1 , of force DF at radius R2, the force pA at radius R1 and the forces at the joint between the Genero & the prime-mover), on the prime-mover about the axis A_1 , is an undiminishing driving moment which can generate (actually create) perpetual rotational kinetic energy in the prime-mover provided it's (DM) magnitude is high enough to overcome all external resistances like friction, inertia and other loads.
  • Genero mounted on any given prime- mover.
  • Generos can be mounted either in parallel, in an axial direction or in series, in a radial direction forming parallel gang (PG) Genero or series gang (SG) Genero respectively.
  • PG parallel gang
  • SG series gang
  • single or gang Generos can be circumferentially ganged around the axis of rotation of the prime-mover.
  • any degradable or non-degradable RPP energy sources can be used.
  • any of the sources like spring, muscular, electro-permanent-magnet (intermittently energised by an external dynamo with a permanent magnet, rechargeable battery etc.), electro-statically charged bodies, piston- cylinder assemblies (energised pneumatically, hydraulically, thermodynamically or by vacuum-air-pressure potential) etc.
  • the invention will now be described solely with four typical examples and one generalised example as below.
  • Radial type energy generator in which there are linkages between the action force A and the Genero and the final force acting on the Genero is in a tangential direction with respect to the prime-mover.
  • the axis A_1 of the prime-mover is co-planar & perpendicular to the axis A_2 of the Genero.
  • Non-linked Radial type energy generator in which the action force A acts directly on the Genero in a tangential direction with respect to the prime-mover.
  • the axis A_1 of the prime-mover is co-planar & perpendicular to the axis A_2 of the Genero.
  • Axial type energy generator in which there are linkages between the action force A and the Genero and the final force acting on the Genero is in a direction parallel and co-planar to the axis A_1 of the prime-mover.
  • the axis A_1 of the prime-mover is co-planar & perpendicular to the axis A_2 of the Genero.
  • Non-linked Axial type energy generator in which the action force A acts directly on the Genero in a direction parallel and co-planar to the axis A_1 of the prime-mover.
  • the axis A_1 of the prime-mover is co- planar & perpendicular to the axis A_2 of the Genero.
  • Random type energy generator in which the action force A acts on the Genero in any random direction. If there are linkages between the action force A and the Genero, then the final force acting on the Genero is in a random direction.
  • the axis A_2 of the Genero is at any random angle to the axis A_1 of the prime-mover; except A_2 being either co-planar and parallel to A_1 or coincident to A_1.

Abstract

The Energy Generator comprises of the prime-mover (1a) (with axis of rotation A_1 and mounted on thrust bearings (12a) fitted into the stand (9a)) on which are mounted four sets of member (7a), each of which has freedom of rotation about it's own axis A_2 normal and co-planar to A_1. An undiminishing force, parallel and co-planar to A_1, is applied (by the cumulative effect of one of the corresponding four sets of the members (4a, 3a), spring (2a) and link (5a) all of which are mounted on 1a) on each corresponding member (7a) causing turning moment on it about A_2, which in turn applies an undiminishing tangential force on 1a via 8a. The vector sum of all the forces and moments results into an undiminishing non-zero moment (about A_1) that can generate perpetual rotational kinetic energy in the prime-mover (1a).

Description

Description
ENERGY GENERATOR
[0001] This invention relates to a device that can generate perpetual rotational kinetic energy by the controlled action of a reasonably undiminishing force (of an energy source) on rigid bodies.
[0002] In any conventional energy generators like Hydro turbines, steam/gas turbines, reciprocating piston-cylinder engines etc., the force created by the energy source is continuously diminishing as the process of energy generation (conversion) is in progress; however the diminishing force is continuously replenished by the continuous supply of energy. A typical example would be the action of the expanding gases on the piston and cylinder assembly in a reciprocating engine. At the start of the expansion stroke, the gas inside the cylinder has it's maximum energy and hence the maximum force on the piston. As the expansion stroke progresses, the energy of the gas and thence the force on the piston diminishes while kinetic energy is being imparted to the piston and the physical separation between the cylinder head and the piston increases. As the cycle completes and a new cycle resumes the gas inside the cylinder regains its full energy (from an outside source of energy) and the process repeats. In the case of hydro turbines and steam/gas turbines the kinetic energy of the fluid exerts the driving force on the rotor. However the driving force diminishes away instantly as the kinetic energy of the fluid is imparted to the rotor. In order to keep the process of energy generation going, there should be a continuous supply of working fluid with kinetic energy. Once this continuous supply is interrupted the driving force is also interrupted. The present invention proposes a device that ensures that the driving force and the energy of the energy source remains undiminished while kinetic energy is being continuously imparted to the rotor thus resulting in generation (creation) of perpetual rotational kinetic energy. Such a phenomenon can be realised by understanding and applying concepts like 'Pre-action Force', 'Rotationally Portable Potential (RPP) Energy source', 'Discrete Bodies', and 'Genero'.
[0003] PRE-ACTION FORCE:
[0004] Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This reaction force is a result of the applied/action force. For the applied/action force to come and remain into existence there has to be a supporting force called pre-action force. For instance, in the classical piston-cylinder assembly, the fluid pressure exerts the applied/action force on the piston. For this applied/action force to exist, there has to be the force that the fluid exerts on the internal surface of the cylinder; more so, the cylinder internal surface (cylinder head) exactly opposite to the piston head. This force exerted on the cylinder internal surface is called pre-action force. Of course, from conventional knowledge the mass inertia and the load (frictional and external) of the piston is the reaction force.
[0005] ROTATIONALLY PORTABLE POTENTIAL (RPP) ENERGY SOURCE:
[0006] The conditions for any potential energy source to be rotationally portable are
1. It should be mounted on a rotating body.
2. The magnitude and direction of the pair of action and pre-action forces emanating from it (energy source) should be symmetrical about the axis of rotation of the body at any given rotational position.
[0007] The examples of RPP energy sources are springs, pneumatic, vacuum- air-pressure potential, hydraulic, thermodynamic, magnetic, electro-static, chemical, gravitational etc. For instance, a helical spring can be mounted on a rotating rigid body in such a way that it fulfils the above conditions to become a RPP energy source. The RPP energy source can be of two types namely degradable and non-degradable. Muscular energy, chemical energy (battery) and spring energy sources are degradable because with the passage of time, as it is used statically, the intensity of the paired forces (action and pre-action) emanating from them diminishes due to internal structure change of the energy source. Pneumatic, vacuum-air-pressure potential, hydraulic, thermodynamic, magnetic, electro-static and gravitational are non-degradable because with the passage of time, as it is used statically, the intensity of the paired forces (action and pre-action) emanating from them does not diminish (as there is no internal structure change), for all reasonably pragmatic purposes, unless there is an external influence.
[0008] DISCRETE BODIES:
[0009] Any physical single or group of rigid bodies that do not have mutually relative freedom of motion can be termed as a discrete body. The discrete body on which the final applied/action force is acting is termed as the target discrete body. The discrete body on which the initial pre- action force is acting is termed as the support discrete body. For instance, in the classical example of piston-cylinder assembly, the cylinder (on which the initial pre-action force is acting) and all bolts, nuts etc. attached to it can be together one discrete body called the support body. If the cylinder is bolted to the ground, then the whole of the earth becomes a part of the support discrete body. In other words, the mass inertia of the earth, cylinder, bolts, nuts etc. put together is acting as the support body. The piston (on which the final action force is acting) along with its integrally fitted parts form another discrete body called the target discrete body.
[0010] GENERO:
[0011] Genero is a discrete body that is mounted on another discrete body (prime- mover) that is free to rotate about an axis A_1 such that it (Genero) has freedom of rotation about an axis A_2 which is in any direction except being either co-planar and parallel to A_1 or coincident to A_1 (ideally A_1 & A_2 could be co-planar & perpendicular to each other). The non-degradable RPP energy source, being mounted on the prime-mover, exerts an undiminishing pair of action force A on Genero and pre-action force pA on the prime-mover at a radius R1 , from axis A_1 ; both of these forces being co-linear, equal and opposite in direction (The pair of Genero and prime-mover is comparable to the conventional pair of piston-cylinder of a reciprocating engine. In the former pair, the physical separation between the Genero and the prime-mover remains unchanged and hence the pair of action and pre-action forces remains undiminished whereas in the latter pair, the physical separation between the piston and cylinder increases (during expansion stroke) and hence has a diminishing effect on the pair of action and pre-action forces.). The action force A induces a moment in the Genero about the axis A_2. The Genero, in turn, exerts the Driving force DF on the prime-mover at a radius R2, from axis A_1 , such that R2 is not equal to R1. The resultant rotational moment DM (the vector sum of the moments, about axis A_1 , of force DF at radius R2, the force pA at radius R1 and the forces at the joint between the Genero & the prime-mover), on the prime-mover about the axis A_1 , is an undiminishing driving moment which can generate (actually create) perpetual rotational kinetic energy in the prime-mover provided it's (DM) magnitude is high enough to overcome all external resistances like friction, inertia and other loads.
[0012] For manufacturing and operational convenience, suitable linkages can be used between the action force A and the Genero.
[0013] There can be more than one Genero mounted on any given prime- mover. These Generos can be mounted either in parallel, in an axial direction or in series, in a radial direction forming parallel gang (PG) Genero or series gang (SG) Genero respectively. Also, single or gang Generos can be circumferentially ganged around the axis of rotation of the prime-mover.
[0014] For practical purposes either of any degradable or non-degradable RPP energy sources can be used. To name a few, one can use any of the sources like spring, muscular, electro-permanent-magnet (intermittently energised by an external dynamo with a permanent magnet, rechargeable battery etc.), electro-statically charged bodies, piston- cylinder assemblies (energised pneumatically, hydraulically, thermodynamically or by vacuum-air-pressure potential) etc. [0015] The invention will now be described solely with four typical examples and one generalised example as below.
1. Radial type energy generator, in which there are linkages between the action force A and the Genero and the final force acting on the Genero is in a tangential direction with respect to the prime-mover. The axis A_1 of the prime-mover is co-planar & perpendicular to the axis A_2 of the Genero.
2. Non-linked Radial type energy generator, in which the action force A acts directly on the Genero in a tangential direction with respect to the prime-mover. The axis A_1 of the prime-mover is co-planar & perpendicular to the axis A_2 of the Genero.
3. Axial type energy generator, in which there are linkages between the action force A and the Genero and the final force acting on the Genero is in a direction parallel and co-planar to the axis A_1 of the prime-mover. The axis A_1 of the prime-mover is co-planar & perpendicular to the axis A_2 of the Genero.
4. Non-linked Axial type energy generator, in which the action force A acts directly on the Genero in a direction parallel and co-planar to the axis A_1 of the prime-mover. The axis A_1 of the prime-mover is co- planar & perpendicular to the axis A_2 of the Genero.
5. Random type energy generator, in which the action force A acts on the Genero in any random direction. If there are linkages between the action force A and the Genero, then the final force acting on the Genero is in a random direction. The axis A_2 of the Genero is at any random angle to the axis A_1 of the prime-mover; except A_2 being either co-planar and parallel to A_1 or coincident to A_1. [0016] 1 ) Radial type energy generator is described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: [0017] Figures 1 to 14 show the different views and sectional views of a RADIAL
TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR with four single Generos mounted circumferentially around the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover whose
RPP energy source is a group of four helical springs (one for each
Genero) mounted radially on the prime-mover along with the related linkages. [0018] Figure 1 shows the front view of the RADIAL TYPE ENERGY

[0033] Figure 14 shows a force analysis free-body diagram of the prime-mover (along with one set of related parts) of the RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[0034] In figures 1 , 2 & 3 the Radial Type Energy Generator consists of the prime-mover 1 mounted on thrust bearings 14 fitted into the stand 9. A splined and tapered control bar 4 slide fits coaxially into a corresponding hole in the prime-mover 1 with axis A_1. Into each of the four spline slots on the control bar 4, a spring pusher 3 is slide fitted. Into the blind hole of each spring pusher 3, a helical spring 2 is sitting. The other end of each of the four springs butts on to a corresponding blind hole end in one of the four links 5 each of which is fitted on one of the four pins 6 (see figures 5 & 6 also). Each set of the spring pusher 3 and the spring 2 is in radial position with respect to the prime-mover 1. Pins 6 are press fitted longitudinally into the prime-mover 1 at radius R1 (see figure 6) and jet out, in the front, to allow the corresponding links 5 to be slide fitted on them. Each of the links 5 are free to rotate about their respective pins 6. Each of the four Generos 7 is placed into the suitable slot 19 of one of the four couplers 11 (see figures 7, 1 , 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9). The pin 10 fits loosely into a hole in Genero 7 forming the rotational sliding fit 13 (see figure 7). The same pin 10 has a press fit 12 into a corresponding hole in the coupler 11 (see figure 7). Each Genero 7 is free to rotate about it's corresponding pin 10 with axis A_2. Axis A_1 and axis A_2 are co-planar and perpendicular to each other. Each of the four couplers 11 loose fits into corresponding through longitudinal holes of the prime mover 1 forming the rotationally sliding fit 14 (see figure 7). On the back end of each coupler a pair of coupler-roller-pins 15 is fitted. The flanged ends 18 of the coupler-roller-pins 15 loosely fit into corresponding holes in the coupler and the other ends rest on the annular surfaces 16 of a protrusion from the stand 9 (see figures 7, 8 & 9). A coupler cap 17, with suitable holes, is secured on to each coupler's back end surface with the help of screws 20 (see figures 8, 9 & 7) ensuring that the coupler-roller- pins 15 are free to rotate about their own axis but are restricted from longitudinal movement. For each coupler 11 , a pair of coupler-restricting- caps 21 is secured on to the prime-mover 1 with bolts 22 (see figures 8, 9 and 2 (Pin 8 has been ignored in Detail A)). The flange 23 (see figure 7) of the coupler 11 along with the pair of the coupler-restricting-caps 21 (see figure 4a also) ensures that the coupler 11 is restricted from longitudinal movement but is free to rotate about it's own axis (see figures 7, 8 & 9). The Genero 7 and the Link 5 are so shaped as to establish contact between each other as shown (see figures 1 , 4 and 5). Each Genero 7, in turn, is in contact with one of the corresponding four pins 8 each of which is press fitted longitudinally onto the prime-mover 1 at radius R2 (see figures 6, 1 , 4, 4a & 5) and jets out into a cantilever to allow the contact with the Genero 7 (see figures 1 , 4, 4a & 5). The tail end of the prime-mover 1 is fitted with two check nuts 24 and a pulley 25 (see figures 2 (Pin 8 has been ignored in Detail A), 3, 4 & 4a). The check nuts arrest the longitudinal movement of the prime-mover and the pulley can be used to connect any kind of load like weight lifting, electric generator, pump etc. to the RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR. Suitable holes or slots (not shown in the figures) can be made to the stand 9 in order to secure it to a fixed base with bolts.
[0035] The control bar 4 can be slid into and away from the prime-mover 1 (see figure 2 (Pin 8 has been ignored in Detail A)) and any kind of mechanism (not shown in the figure) such as a simple screw with lock nut (fitted on the stand 9 and connected to the prime mover 1 through a suitable pair of thrust bearings) can be used to effect this to and fro movement, even in dynamic state, and at the same time fix the control bar 4 at the required position. During the inward movement, due to the tapered nature of the control bar the spring pusher 3 is pushed away from the centre of the prime-mover (see figures 3 & 7, which show the dead end of the inward movement). In the process, spring 2 gets compressed and during the outward movement of the control bar 4, the spring 2 gets released. The control bar is so tapered that its two extreme positions ensure that the spring can be compressed and released from its' maximum extent (as seen in figure 3) to the uncompressed state.
[0036] Figures 10 & 11 show how the force of a single compressed spring 2 is transmitted on to the prime-mover via the intermediates like the spring pusher 3 &control bar 4 on one end and the link 5, Genero 7 & the pin 8 on the other end without taking into consideration, the reaction forces at the pins 6 and 10.
[0037] In figure 11 , for a given fixed position of the control bar 4, the compressed spring 2 causes an undiminishing action force A to act on the link 5 and the pre-action force pA to act on the spring pusher 3. The pre-action force pA gets directly transmitted to the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover 1 (not shown in figure 11) via the spring pusher 3 and the control bar 4. The action force A acts on the link 5 at an arm length L1 from the central axis A_5 of pin 6. Since the link 5 is free to rotate about the pin 6, a moment M1 =AxL1 is formed in link 5. Since the link 5 is in static equilibrium with respect to the Genero 7 & prime-mover 1 , the moment M1 makes link 5 to apply a force A1 on the Genero 7 such that moment M1 (=AxL1) is equal to the moment M2(=A1xL2), where L2 is the arm length of force A1 from the central axis A_5 of the pin 6. Since the Genero 7 is free to rotate about the pin 10 (see figures 10, 11 and 11a), the force A1 induces a moment M3=A1xL3 into the Genero 7 about the pin 10, where L3 is the arm length of the force A1 from the central axis A_2 of the pin 10. Since the Genero 7 is in static equilibrium with respect to the prime-mover 1 , the moment M3, makes the Genero 7 to exert a force A2 (see figures 10 & 11) on the pin 8 such that A2xL3=M3. Since the arm length for both the forces A1 and A2 is L3 from the centre of the pin 10, the two forces A1 and A2 are equal. Since the pin 8 is press fitted into a corresponding hole in the prime-mover 1 , the force A2 is directly transmitted on to the prime-mover via pin 8. Finally, we now have the force A2 acting tangentially at radius R (see figures 6, 7, 11 and 11a for R) on the prime-mover 1 and the force pA acting radially on the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover 1.
[0038] For complete force analysis, we need to consider the reaction forces at the pins 6 and 10. To accomplish this, we need to study the free body diagram (FBD) of the link 5 (see figure 12), of the Genero 7 (see figure 13) and of the prime-mover 1 (see figure 14).
[0039] In figure 12, for the force A, the pin 6 (not shown in figure 12) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force RA on the link 5 and for the force A1 (see figures 10 & 11 for force A1), the Genero 7 exerts an equal and opposite reaction force B1 on the Link 5. For force B1 , the pin 6 (not shown in figure 12) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force RB1 on the link 5. Since the Link 5 is in static equilibrium with respect to the Genero 7 and the prime-mover 1 , all the forces A, RA, B1 & RB1 acting on the Link 5 should be in static equilibrium. Therefore
[0040] B1 =AxL1/L2
[0041] RB 1 =B1 =A1 , Therefore
[0042] A1 =AxL1/L2 (1)
[0043] RA=A
[0044] In figure 13, for the force A1 , the pin 10 (see figures 10 & 11 for pin 10) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force RA1 on the Genero 7 and for the force A2 (see figures 10 & 11 for force A2), the pin 8 (see figures 10 & 11 for pin 8) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force B2 on the Genero 7. For the force B2, the pin 10 (see figures 10 & 11 for pin 10) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force RB2 on the Genero 7. Since the Genero 7 is in static equilibrium with respect to the link 5 and the prime-mover 1 , all the forces A1 , RA1 , B2 & RB2 acting on the Genero 7 should be in static equilibrium. Therefore
[0045] B2=A1 xL3/L3=A1 (1 a)
[0046] RB2=B2=A2 (1b)
[0047] RA1 =A1
[0048] Again in figure 13, a couple C1 =A1xL4 (since A1 =B2 from equation (1a)) is formed on the Genero 7. However this couple C1 is transferred on to the stand 9 via the sub-assembly consisting of the pin 10, coupler 11 , coupler-roller-pins 15 and the annular surfaces 16 of the stand 9 in both static and dynamic states of the prime-mover 1 (see figure 7). Hence couple C1 does not apply on the prime-mover 1. Even if A1≠B2, any couple/moment formed by forces A1 and B2 applies on the stand 9 and not on the prime-mover 1.
[0049] In figure 14, the action forces A, A1 , A2 and the respectively corresponding pre-action forces pA, pA1 , pA2 acting on the prime-mover 1 are shown along with their directions and points of application such that magnitudes [0050] pA=A
[0051] pA1 =A1 (1 c)
[0052] pA2=A2 (1d)
[0053] The force pA is radial on the axis of rotation A_1 of the prime-mover 1 and is ultimately taken up by the stand 9; hence pA has no role in applying turning moment on the prime-mover 1. The remaining forces play a role in causing turning moments on the prime-mover 1 in two different cases as below.
[0054] CASE 1 : Assuming that in figure 13, the arm lengths of the forces A1 and B2 on the Genero 7 are the same as L3.
[0055] From equations (1a), (1 b) and (1d) we get
[0056] pA2=A2=B2=A1
[0057] Therefore
[0058] pA2=A1
[0059] Hence the forces A1 and pA2 cancel each other (see figure 14). Now, in figure 14, the only forces left for causing a moment on the prime-mover 1 are force A2 at radius R, force A at radius L1 & force pA1 at radius (r- L2). If we assume DM as the final driving moment, by a single Genero 7, on the prime-mover 1 about its axis of rotation A_1 , then we have (assuming anti-clockwise moment as positive and clockwise moment as negative, looking from the front of the prime-mover 1) for the dynamic equilibrium of the prime-mover 1 about the axis A_1 ,
[0060] DM = (A2xR) - (AxL1) - (pA1x(r - L2))
[0061] = (A2xR) - {(AxL1) - (pA1xL2) + (pA1xr)}
[0062] Since, from equation (1c) we know
[0063] pA1 =A1 , we get
[0064] DM = (A2xR) - {(AxL1) - (A1xL2) + (A1xr)}
[0065] Since, from equation (1) we know
[0066] (AxL1) = (A1xL2), we get
[0067] DM = (A2xR) - (A1xr) (2) [0068] Since, from equation (1 a) and (1 b) we know A2=A1 , we get [0069] DM = A1x(R-r) (3)
[0070] But since from equation (1) we know
[0071] A1 = AxL1/L2, we get
[0072] DM = A x (R-r) x L1/L2 (4)
[0073] CASE 2: Assuming that in figure 13, the arm length of the force A1 is L5 and that of force B2 is L6 such that L5≠L6 ( L5 and L6 are not shown in the figure).
[0074] In this case equation (1a) is invalid. For static equilibrium of Genero 7 (in figure 13) with respect to the prime-mover 1 & link 5, we have
[0075] B2=A1 xL5/L6 (4a)
[0076] Since from equations (1 b) and (1d) we know pA2=A2=B2, we get
[0077] A2=A1 XL5/L6 (5)
[0078] pA2=A1 xL5/L6 (5a)
[0079] From equation (5a) and referring to figure 14, in this case, the forces pA2 and A1 are not equal to each other and hence do not cancel each other. If L5>L6, then pA2>A1 and vice versa. Hence, in this case, forces pA2 and A1 also play a role in causing a turning moment on the prime- mover 1. If we assume DM as the final driving moment on the prime- mover 1 about its axis of rotation A_1 , then we have (assuming anticlockwise moment as positive and clockwise moment as negative, looking from the front of the prime-mover 1 ) for the dynamic equilibrium of the prime-mover 1 (see figure 14),
[0080] DM = (A2xR) - (AxL1) - (pA1x(r - L2)) + (A1xr) - (pA2xr)
[0081] Substituting equations (1d), (1c) and (5) into the above equation we get
[0082] DM= (A1x(L5/L6)xR) - (AxL1) - (A1xr)
[0083] +(A1 xL2) + (A1 xr) - ((A1 xL5/L6)xr)
[0084] Simplifying, we have
[0085] DM= (A1x(L5/L6)xR) - (AxL1) + (A1xL2) - ((A1xL5/L6)xr)
[0086] Substituting equation (1) in the above equation & simplifying, we get [0087] DM = A x (R-r) x (L1/L2) x (L5/L6) (6)
[0088] From equations (4) of case 1 and (6) of case 2, the following conclusion is evident: [0089] The Diving Moment DM from each Genero on the prime-mover 1 about its axis of rotation A_1 is directly proportional to
1. The initial action force A
2. The difference (R-r)
3. The arm length ratios L1/L2 of the linkage (or linkages if more than one), including L5/L6 of the Genero, between the initial action force A and the final action force A2 at radius R.
[0090] If there are N number of Generos on the prime-mover, then the total driving moment is given by
[0091] TDM=NxDM (6a)
[0092] For the Total Driving Moment TDM to cause any generation (creation) of rotational kinetic energy in the prime-mover 1 , the magnitude and direction of TDM should be enough to overcome all external resistances like friction, inertia and others loads. This generation of rotational kinetic energy is perpetual unless and until an external agency removes or nullifies the effect of the undiminishing force of the compressed spring 2 or the spring 2 looses it's elasticity.
[0093] Assuming TDM is enough to overcome friction, inertia and external loads, the perpetual energy generated (created) is given by the equation
[0094] E=TDMx0 (6b)
[0095] For a given finite value of TDM and 0<0<infinity
[0096] Where 0 is the angle in radians through which the prime-mover 1 has rotated under the influence of the total driving moment TDM.
[0097] 2) Non-linked Radial type energy generator is described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
[0098] Figures 1 r to 7r show the different views and sectional views of a NON- LINKED RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR with four single Generos mounted circumferentially around the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover whose RPP energy source is a group of four piston-cylinder assemblies (one for each Genero) energised pneumatically, hydraulically, thermodynamically, electro-permanent-magnetically or by vacuum-air-pressure potential and mounted tangentially on the prime- mover.
[0099] Figure 1 r shows the front view and the right view of the NON-LINKED RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00100] Figure 2r shows the sectional right side view on the plane S2 of the NON-LINKED RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00101] Figure 3r shows the sectional view on the plane S of the NON-LINKED RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00102] Figure 4r shows a frontal trimetric view of the NON-LINKED RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00103] Figure 5r shows a back trimetric view of the NON-LINKED RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00104] Figure 6r shows the sectional view on the plane S1 of the NON-LINKED RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00105] Figure 7r shows the sectional view on the plane S5 of the NON-LINKED RADIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00106] In figures 1 r, 2r, 3r, 4r & 5r the Non-linked Radial Type Energy Generator consists of components similar to the Radial Type Energy Generator, described above, except as follows. An undiminishing action force on the Genero 7rO is applied directly by the piston 2rO which is fitted into a cylinder 3rO cut through the manifold 4rO bolted on the prime-mover 1 rO by the bolts 5rO with suitable seals. The cavity of the cylinder 3rO is open to the tail end 11 r0 of the prime-mover 1 r0 through the hole 6rO in the manifold 4rO and the holes 12rO, 8rO & 10r0 in the prime-mover 1 rO (see figures 7r, 3r, 6r & 2r). The plug seals 9rO ensure that the holes 8rO are not directly open to the outside (see figures 7r & 6r). [00107] The piston 2rO can be energised pneumatically, hydraulically, thermodynamically or by vacuum-air-pressure potential. An external source of fluid power and fluid pressure controls, which are powered by the prime-mover 1 rθ, can be connected to the tail end 11 rO of the prime- mover 1 rO via any dynamic seal such as mechanical seal. Since the pragmatically undiminishing fluid pressure acts as a RPP energy source, as described above, the power consumed by the external fluid power source, to recharge itself, is very minimal and transient as compared with the continuous power generated (created) by the prime-mover 1 rO.
[00108] Alternatively the pistons 2rO can be energised by electro-permanent magnets (magnetised intermittently electro-permanent-magnetically) or with a permanent magnet or with electro-static charges. In this case the external source of electrical power and electrical controls could be a rechargeable battery, with relevant switches, that is intermittently charged by a dynamo powered by the prime-mover 1 rO. The electrical connection between the prime-mover 1 rO and the external source of electrical power could be established through carbon brushes fitted in conjunction with the tail-end 11 rO of the prime-mover 1 rO in a way similar to that in a conventional electrical generators/motors. The electrical wiring from the tail end 11 rO to the sub-assembly of the piston 2rO and cylinder 3rO can pass through the holes 1OrO, 8rO, 12rO and 6rO (see figures 7r, 3r, 6r & 2r). Since the external Electrical power source is used intermittently only to re-magnetise the pragmatically undiminishing electro-permanent magnet, the power consumed by it, to recharge itself, is very minimal and transient as compared with the perpetual power generated (created) by the prime-mover 1 rO.
[00109] The driving moment on the prime-mover 1 rO is similar to the equations (4) and (6) except that L1 and L2 are absent. The Perpetual energy generated (created) is similar to the equation (6b). [00110] 3) Axial type energy generator is described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: [00111] Figures 15 to 31 show the different views and sectional views of an
AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR with four single Generos mounted circumferentially around the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover whose
RPP energy source is a group of four helical springs (one for each
Genero) mounted radially on the prime-mover along with the related linkages. [00112] Figure 15 shows the front view of the AXIAL TYPE ENERGY

AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR. [00128] Figure 31 shows a force analysis free-body diagram of the prime-mover
(View Back of Figure 29 and its partial sectional view on plane S5) of the
AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR. [00129] In figures 15, 16, 17 & 18 the Axial Type Energy Generator consists of the prime-mover 1a mounted on thrust bearings 12a fitted into the stand
9a. A splined and tapered control bar 4a slide fits coaxially into a corresponding hole in the prime-mover 1a with axis A_1. Into each of the four spline slots on the control bar 4a, a spring pusher 3a is slide fitted.
Into the blind hole of each spring pusher 3a, a helical spring 2a is sitting.
The other end of each of the four springs butts on to a corresponding blind hole in one of the four links 5a each of which is fitted on one of the four pins 6a (see figures 19 & 21 also). Pins 6a are press fitted tangentially into the prime-mover 1a at radius R1a (see figure 19). Each of the four links 5a is free to rotate about it's respective pin 6a. Each of the four Generos 7a is placed in one of the four suitable open slots 15a in the prime-mover 1a (see figures 15, 17, 18, 19, 21 , 23 and 24). Each of the four pins 10a fits loosely into a hole in one of the four Generos 7a, forming the rotational sliding fit 16a, and extends on either end into a corresponding hole 17a in the prime-mover 1a (see figures 20 and 23). Each of the four pins 11 a is press fitted into the prime-mover 1 a and one of the four pins 10a ensuring that the pin 10a is arrested from any motion with respect to the prime mover 1a (see figures 16, 18, 20, 23 and 24). Each Genero 7a is free to rotate about it's corresponding pin 10a with axis A_2. Axis A_1 and axis A_2 are co-planar and perpendicular to each other. The Genero 7a and the Link 5a are so shaped as to establish contact between each other as shown (see figures 16, 18 & 21). Each Genero 7a, in turn, is in contact with the one of the four pins 8a (see figures 16, 18, 20, 21 , 22 and 24) each of which is press fitted longitudinally onto the prime-mover 1a at radius R2a (see figure 19) and jets out into a cantilever to allow the contact with the Genero 7a (see figures 16, 18, 20, 21 & 22). The tail end of the prime-mover 1a is fitted with two check nuts 13a and a pulley 14a (see figures 16, 18, 20, 21 and 22). The check nuts 13a arrest the longitudinal movement of the prime- mover 1a and the pulley 14a along with the key 18a (see figure 20) can be used to connect any kind of load like weight lifting, electric generator, pump etc. to the AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR. Suitable holes or slots (not shown in the figures) can be made on the stand 9a in order to secure it to a fixed base with bolts. [00130] The control bar 4a can be slid into and away from the prime-mover 1a
(see figure 16) and any kind of mechanism (not shown in the figure) such as a simple screw with lock nut (fitted on the stand 9a and connected to the prime mover 1a through a suitable pair of thrust bearings) can be used to effect this to and fro movement (even in dynamic state) and at the same time fix the control bar 4a at the required position. During the inward movement, due to the tapered nature (see figures 18 and 20) of the control bar 4a the spring pusher 3a is pushed away from the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover 1a. In the process, spring 2a gets compressed and during the outward movement of the control bar 4a, the spring 2a gets released. The control bar 4a is so tapered that its two extreme positions ensure that the spring can be compressed and released from its' maximum extent (figure 18 shows the maximum extent state) to the uncompressed state.
[00131] Figures 25 & 26 show how the force of the compressed spring 2a is transmitted on to the prime-mover 1a via the intermediates like the spring pusher 3a &control bar 4a on one end and the link 5a, Genero 7a & the pin 8a on the other end without taking into consideration, the reaction forces at the pins 6a and 10a.
[00132] In figure 25, for a given fixed position of the control bar 4a, the compressed spring 2a causes the undiminishing action force AO to act on the link 5a and the pre-action force pAO to act on the spring pusher 3a. The pre-action force pAO gets directly transmitted to the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover 1a via the spring pusher 3a and the control bar 4a. The action force AO acts on the link 5a at an arm length L1a from the central axis A_5 of pin 6a. Since the link 5a is free to rotate about the pin 6a, a moment M1a=A0xL1a is formed in link 5a. Since the link 5a is in static equilibrium with respect to the Genero 7a & the prime-mover 1a and due to the induced moment M1 a, the link 5a exerts a force A10 on the Genero 7a such that moment M1a (=A0xL1a) is equal to the moment M2a (=A10xL2a), where L2a is the arm length of force A10 from the central axis A_5 of the pin 6a. Since the Genero 7a is free to rotate about the pin 10a (see figure 26), the force A10 induces a moment M3a=A10xL3a into the Genero 7a about the pin 10a, where L3a is the arm length of the force A10 from the central axis A_2 of the pin 10a. Since the Genero 7a is in static equilibrium with respect to the link 5a & the prime-mover 1a and due to the induced moment M3a, the Genero 7a exerts the force A20 on the pin 8a such that the moment M3a (=A10xL3a) is equal to the moment M4a (=A20xL4a), where L4a (see figure 26) is the arm length of the force A20 from the central axis A_2 of the pin 10a. Since the pin 8a is press fitted into a corresponding hole in the prime-mover 1a, the force A20 is directly transmitted on to the prime- mover 1a via pin 8a. Finally, we now have the force A20 acting at radius Ra (see figures 19, 20, 25 and 26 for Ra) on the prime-mover 1a and the force pAO acting on the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover 1a.
[00133] For complete force analysis, we need to consider the reaction forces at the pins 6a and 10a. To accomplish this, we need to study the free body diagram (FBD) of the link 5a (see figure 27), of the Genero 7a (see figure 28) and of the prime-mover 1a (see figures 29, 30 & 31).
[00134] In figure 27, for the force AO, the pin 6a (not shown in figure 27) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force RAO on the link 5a and the force A10 (see figures 25 and 26) acting on the Genero 7a (see figures 25 and 26) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force B10 on the Link 5a. For force B10, the pin 6a (not shown in figure 27) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force RB10 on the link 5a. Since the Link 5a is in static equilibrium with respect to the Genero 7a and the prime-mover 1a, all the forces AO, RAO, B10 & RB10 acting on the Link 5a should be in static equilibrium. Therefore
[00135] B1 O=AOxLI a/L2a
[00136] RB10=B10=A10, Therefore
[00137] A1 O=AOxLI a/L2a (7)
[00138] RAO=AO
[00139] In figure 28, for the force A10, the pin 10a (see figures 25 and 26 also) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force RA10 on the Genero 7a and for the force A20 (see figures 25 and 26 also) the pin 8a (see figures 25 and 26 also) exerts an equal and opposite reaction force B20 on the Genero 7a. For the force B20, the pin 10a exerts an equal and opposite reaction force RB20 on the Genero 7a. Since the Genero 7a is in static equilibrium with respect to the link 5a and the prime-mover 1a, all the forces A10, RA10, B20 & RB20 acting on the Genero 7a should be in static equilibrium. Therefore
[00140] B20=A10xL3a/L4a
[00141] RB20=B20=A20, Therefore
[00142] A20=A10xL3a/L4a (8)
[00143] RA10=A10
[00144] Substituting equation (7) into equation (8) , we have
[00145] A20=A0x(L1 a/L2a)x(L3a/L4a) (9)
[00146] Figure 29 shows the right-side view of the prime-mover 1a along with one set of the pins 6a, 8a, 10a and 11a all of which are integrally press- fitted on to the prime-mover 1a. In figure 30 and figure 31 , the action forces AO, A10, A20 and the respectively corresponding pre-action forces pAO, pA10, pA20 acting on the prime-mover 1a (integrated with the pins 6a, 8a, 10a and 11a) are shown along with their directions and points of application such that magnitudes pA0=A0, pA10=A10 and pA20=A20. The forces AO and pAO in figure 30 are radial with respect to the prime- mover 1a and hence have no role in applying turning moment on the prime-mover 1a. Again the force A10 (figure 31) and force pA10 (figure 30) are axial with respect to the prime-mover 1a and hence have no role in applying turning moment on the prime-mover 1a. The effect of the forces AO, pAO, A10 and pA10 and any moments from them, is transferred on to the stand 9a via the thrust bearings 12a (see figure 20 for 9a and 12a). The only remaining forces that are tangential and hence can play a role in causing turning moments on the prime-mover 1a are A20 (see figure 31) and force pA20 (see figures 30 and 31). If we assume DMa as the final driving moment, by a single Genero 7a, on the prime-mover 1a about its axis of rotation A_1 , then we have (assuming anti-clockwise moment as positive and clockwise moment as negative looking from the front of the prime-mover 1a) for the dynamic equilibrium of the prime-mover 1a about the axis A_1 , [00147] DMa=(A20xRa) - (pA20xra) [00148] Since pA20=A20, we have
[00149] DMa=A20x(Ra-ra) (10)
[00150] Substituting equation (9) into equation (10), we have
[00151] DMa=A0x(Ra-ra)x(L1a/L2a)x(L3a/L4a) (11)
[00152] From equation (11) the following conclusion is evident: [00153] The Driving Moment DMa from each Genero on the prime-mover 1a about its axis of rotation A_1 is directly proportional to
1. The initial action force AO
2. The difference (Ra-ra)
3. The arm length ratios L1 a/L2a of the linkage (or linkages if more than one), including L3a/L4a of the Genero, between the initial action force AO and the final action force A20 at radius Ra.
[00154] If there are Na number of Generos on the prime-mover 1 a, then the total driving moment is given by
[00155] TDMa=NaxDMa (11 a)
[00156] For the Total Driving Moment TDMa to cause any generation (creation) of rotational kinetic energy in the prime-mover 1a, the magnitude and direction of TDMa should be enough to overcome all external resistances like friction, inertia and others loads. This generation of rotational kinetic energy is perpetual unless and until an external agency removes or nullifies the effect of the undiminishing force of the compressed spring 2a or the spring 2a looses it's elasticity.
[00157] Assuming TDMa is enough to overcome friction, inertia and external loads, the perpetual energy generated (created) is given by the equation
[00158] Ea=TD Maxøa (11 b) [00159] For a given finite value of TDMa and 0<0a<infinity
[00160] Where 0a is the angle in radians through which the prime-mover 1a has rotated under the influence of the total driving moment TDMa.
[00161] 4) Non-linked Axial type energy generator is described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
[00162] Figures 15a to 20a show the different views and sectional views of a NON-LINKED AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR with four single Generos mounted circumferentially around the central axis A_1 of the prime-mover whose RPP energy source is a group of four piston-cylinder assemblies (one for each Genero) energised pneumatically, hydraulically, thermodynamically, electro-permanent-magnetically or by vacuum-air-pressure potential and mounted in the axial direction on the prime-mover.
[00163] Figure 15a shows the front view and the right view of the NON-LINKED AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00164] Figure 16a shows the sectional right side view on the plane S3A of the NON-LINKED AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00165] Figure 17a shows the sectional view on the plane S5A of the NON- LINKED AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00166] Figure 18a shows the sectional view on the plane S2A of the NON- LINKED AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00167] Figure 19a shows a frontal trimetric view of the NON-LINKED AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00168] Figure 20a shows a back trimetric view of the NON-LINKED AXIAL TYPE ENERGY GENERATOR.
[00169] In figures 15a, 16a, 17a, 19a & 20a the Non-linked Axial Type Energy Generator consists of components similar to the Axial Type Energy Generator, described above, except as follows. An undiminishing action force on the Genero 7aO is applied by the piston 2aO which is fitted into a cylinder 3aO cut through the cylinder block 5aO bolted on the manifold 12aO by the bolts 4aO with suitable seals. The manifold 12aO is bolted on to the prime-mover 1aO by the bolts 13aO with suitable sealing. The cavity of the cylinder 3aO is open to the tail end 11aO of the prime-mover 1aO through the holes 6aO (in cylinder block 5aO), 14aO (in manifold 12aO), 8aO (in manifold 12aO) and 1OaO (in the prime-mover 1aO) (see figures 17a, 16a & 18a). The plug seals 9aO ensure that the holes 8aO are not directly open to the outside.
[00170] The pistons 2aO can be energised pneumatically, hydraulically, thermodynamically or by vacuum-air-pressure potential (can be energised gravitationally also, in which case the axis A_1 needs to be vertical or nearly vertical). An external source of fluid power and fluid pressure controls, which are powered by the prime-mover 1 aθ, can be connected to the tail end 11 a0 of the prime-mover 1 aO via any suitable dynamic seal such as mechanical seal. Since the pragmatically undiminishing fluid pressure acts as a RPP energy source, as described above, the power consumed by the external fluid power source, to recharge itself, is very minimal and transient as compared with the continuous power generated (created) by the prime-mover 1aO.
[00171] Alternatively the pistons 2aO can be energised by electro-permanent magnets (magnetised intermittently electro-permanent-magnetically) or with a permanent magnet or with electro-static charges. In this case the external source of electrical power and electrical controls could be a rechargeable battery, with relevant switches, that is intermittently charged by a dynamo powered by the prime-mover 1aO. The electrical connection between the prime-mover 1aO and the external source of electrical power could be established through carbon brushes fitted in conjunction with the tail-end 11 aO of the prime-mover 1 aO in a way similar to that in a conventional electrical generators/motors. The electrical wiring from the tail-end 11 aO to the sub-assembly of the piston 2aO and cylinder 3aO can pass through the holes 1OaO, 8aO, 14aO and 6aO (see figures 17a, 16a & 18a). Since the external Electrical power source is used intermittently only to re-magnetise the pragmatically undiminishing electro-permanent magnet, the power consumed by it, to recharge itself, is very minimal and transient as compared with the perpetual power generated (created) by the prime-mover 1aO.
[00172] The driving moment on the prime-mover 1aO is similar to the equation (11) except that L1a and L2a are absent. The perpetual energy generated (created) is similar to the equation (11 b).
[00173] 5) Random type energy generator is a generalised type between the four typical types namely Radial, Non-linked Radial, Axial and Non-linked Axial type. Referring to the above description of all the four types, in the Random type, the linkages, the Generos, the pins, the RPP energy sources are still present, but the positional relation among themselves and between them and the prime-mover is random; all the forces also are in any random direction. If all the forces and moments can be resolved into a pattern of any of the four types, then these resolved components will serve just as the Radial Type, Non-linked Radial type, Axial Type or Non-linked Axial type Energy Generators as applicable (including situations where A_1 & A_2 are non-coplanar and situations where the action forces are non-coplanar with axis A_1). The Driving moment can be computed by taking the vector sum of all the resolved components. [00174] Note 1 :
1. The RPP energy sources in all the five types of energy generators described above can be mutually swapped (with suitable constructional modifications if necessary) without impairing the function of the Energy Generator. The only exception is that the Gravitational energy source is applicable to all types, with the axis A_1 being vertical or nearly vertical, except the Non-linked Radial type. 2. In all the five types of energy generators described above, the pre- action force of the RPP energy source (except Gravitational) has been assumed to be applied on the prime-mover. An alternative would be that, while the action force of the RPP energy source still acts on the Link/ Genero, the pre-action force of the RPP energy source could be directed to apply on the stand or a fixed surface (with respect to the prime-mover) with suitable bearings/rollers and constructional alterations, so that the action and pre-action forces of the RPP energy source act both in the static and dynamic conditions of the prime-mover. In such cases, the line of action of the pre-action force of the RPP energy source has to be ideally either axial (parallel to axis A_1) or Radial with respect to the prime-mover.
3. In all the five types of energy generators described above, it has been assumed that the action and pre-action forces of the RPP energy source (except Gravitational) are directed away from each other (repulsive forces). With suitable constructional alterations, we can replace the pair of repulsive forces by a pair of attractive forces of the RPP energy source (where-in the action and the pre-action forces of the RPP energy source are directed towards each other).
[00175] Note 2:
[00176] The following refers to all the figures used for the description as above:

Claims

CLAIMS:
1. An Energy Generator comprising of a prime-mover (with freedom of rotation about its own axis A_1) on which is mounted a rotationally portable potential energy source that can apply, for a given setting, a reasonably undiminishing action force, parallel & co-planar to axis A_1 and at a radius n from the axis A_1 , on a member that is mounted on the prime-mover and has freedom of rotation about an axis A_2 normal and co-planar to A_1 (ensuring that the rotational bearing contact area between the member and the prime-mover is at an average radius r2 from the axis A_1), such that, the member in turn, by virtue of the moment experienced by it about the axis A_2, can apply an undiminishing tangential force on the prime-mover at another radius R from the axis A_1 (such that the vector sum of the moments on the prime-mover about the axis A_1 due to the forces (directly or indirectly) at the radii R, n & r2 is non-zero), thus causing a resultant reasonably undiminishing non-zero moment on the prime-mover about the axis A_1 , which, if strong enough to overcome the frictional, inertial and any other load resistances of the prime-mover, can generate continuous rotational kinetic energy until and unless an external agency nullifies, diminishes or removes the effect of the reasonably undiminishing action force applied by the rotationally portable potential energy source.
2. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reasonably undiminishing action force, at radius n, is in a tangential direction with respect to the prime-mover, instead of being parallel to the axis A_1.
3. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reasonably undiminishing action force at radius n and the reasonably undiminishing force at radius R, are in any random direction with respect to the prime- mover.
4. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 or claim 3, wherein the forces are in any direction and the axis A_2 is in any direction except being normal & co-planar to A_1 , parallel & co-planar to A_1 and being coincident to A_1.
5. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 or claim 3 or claim 4, wherein the rotationally portable potential energy source can be any of the following: springs, pneumatic, hydraulic, air-vacuum potential, thermodynamic, magnetic, electro-static or muscular.
6. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotationally portable potential energy source is gravitational and the axis A_1 is vertical or nearly vertical.
7. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 5, wherein there is a single or a series of linkages between the reasonably undiminishing action force (from the rotationally portable energy source at a radius n from the axis A_1) and the member with axis A_2 mounted on the prime-mover, such that resultant reasonably undiminishing non-zero moment on the prime- mover about the axis A_1 is a vector sum of the moments caused on the prime-mover due to the forces (directly or indirectly) at radius R, n & r2 and at the joints of the linkages with the prime-mover.
8. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 5 or claim 7, wherein there are more than one of the member (with axis similar to axis A_2 mounted on the prime-mover) and the rotationally portable energy sources, such that resultant reasonably undiminishing non-zero moment on the prime-mover about the axis A_1 is a vector sum of the moments caused on the prime- mover due to the forces (directly or indirectly) at radius R, n & r2 and at the joints of the linkages and the members with the prime-mover.
9. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 6, wherein there is a single or a series of linkages between the reasonably undiminishing action force (from the gravitational energy source at a radius n from the axis A_1) and the member with axis A_2 mounted on the prime-mover, such that resultant reasonably undiminishing non-zero moment on the prime-mover about the axis A_1 is a vector sum of the moments caused on the prime- mover due to the forces (directly or indirectly) at radius R, n & r2 and at the joints of the linkages with the prime-mover.
10. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 6 or claim 9, wherein there are more than one of the member with axis similar to axis A_2 mounted on the prime-mover, such that resultant reasonably undiminishing non-zero moment on the prime-mover about the axis A_1 is a vector sum of the moments caused on the prime-mover due to the forces (directly or indirectly) at radius R, n & r2 and at the joints of the linkages and the members with the prime-mover.
11. An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 6 or claim 9 or claim 10, wherein the forces are in any direction and the axis A_2 is in any direction except being normal & co-planar to A_1 , parallel & co-planar to A_1 and being coincident to A_1.
12.An Energy Generator, as claimed in claim 6 or claim 9 or claim 10 or claim
11 , wherein the final action force acting on the member( or memebers) with axis A_2 can be in any random direction.
13.An Energy Generator substantially as described herein with reference to figures 1 -4, figure 4a, figures 5-11 , figure 11 a and figures 12-14 of the accompanying drawings.
14. An Energy Generator substantially as described herein with reference to figures 1 r-7r of the accompanying drawings and with reference to claim 13.
