DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART [0002] The stable operation of a synchronous dynamoelectric machine, its ability to maintain synchronism during both steady state and transient conditions, such as those arising from certain changes in load, changes in circuit configuration, or during and following short circuits is one of the basic requirements for the reliable performance of an electrical power system. It is also highly desirable that oscillations caused by various disturbances, which are always present in an electrical system, be damped as quickly as possible.

[0003] It is well known that the amount of electrical power that a single synchronous generator can deliver to a power system to which it is connected is limited by the ability of the generator to stay in synchronism with the power system. This invention is a system based in a continuous power generation by a dynamo generator run by a synchronous motor with a maximum torque transmission arrangement and moreover a controlled feedback is given to the synchronous motor so that no external power is needed while in the process of generation except the need of external power in starting the system.

After that, the diode is set in the forward direction, and then a permanent magnet is attracted and is released when it comes in closest contact with the electromagnet. After that, by repeating the attraction to and the release from permanent magnets in order, the rotor and the generator unit are continuously driven. As a result, at arbitrary times and places, a small quantity of power can be obtained.

When abnormality, a switch is turned OFF by the operation of limit switches, while an alarm is given by means of a buzzer in a generator load circuit alarm panel. Thus, the generator can constantly be turned at all times even when the speed of revolution of the power generating shaft changes, and excellent power can be supplied.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention relates to a power generating unit employing synchronous dynamo electric machine run by an electric motor with an improved torque transmission mechanism and freely hanging load to transfer the mechanical energy to the dynamo and a feedback mechanism from the mechanical energy generated by the motor which is fed to the dynamo via a control unit and an auto switch.

[0028] With reference to Fig. 1 , a unit frame comprising of the electric motor connected with a dynamo via a shaft with plurality of gears connected in the shaft for onward transmission of the mechanical energy is kept hanging using the pedal shaft and connecting rods. For the efficient movement of the chains and reducing / preventing the slips special purpose gears and bearings are used. [0029] As shown in Fig. 1 , there is illustrated an electromechanical unit comprising a frame whose base is grouted inside the ground forming a stable structure and capable of withstanding all kind of oscillatory forces caused by hanging frames including motor and dynamo generator and a plurality of pedal shafts and connecting rods. Further herein it may be noted that there is no use of chain as was discussed in the mother patent application. The topmost pedal shaft (a,c) is operably connected with outside iron frame by means of a pair of bearings present on the either sides (not shown). The said pedal shaft is free to move over its central axis by means of bearings disposed on opposite ends on the outer frame. The said pedal shaft also comprises of a flywheel connected at its centre.

[0030] Another pedal shaft disposed at the middle of the system (b, d) includes four pedals, wherein two numbers of pedals are disposed at each corner. There is also present a pair of connecting rods connected near the ends for onward transmission of the torque. The outer pedals of the middle pedal shaft (b, d) is connected to the topmost pedal (a, c) shaft by means of the connecting rod (ab, cd) whereas the inner pedals are connected to the lower pedal shaft (f, h) by means of another pair of connecting rods (ef, gh). The connecting rods positions may differ from inside to outside.

[0031 ] In the invention there is provided a total of four connecting rods which are made operable. One pair of connecting rods connects the middle shaft to the topmost pedal shaft and another pair of connecting rods connects the middle shaft to the lowermost pedal shaft. The topmost pedal shaft is connected to the main frame by means of bearing which is connected to the ground and grouted strongly so that the hanging elements, that is, the other frame containing the motor and dynamo and a series of pedal shafts (three) disposed vertically and interconnected vide connecting rods (four).

[0032] The lowermost pedal shaft further includes a spur gear disposed at the middle of the shaft. The lowermost shaft is connected with the said frame containing the motor and the dynamo by means of bearings fitted in the frame and as shown in figure. The shafts of the dynamo and the motor are interconnected and are in the same plane. The shafts are interconnected and there between disposed is a spur shaft having half the number of teeth than the teeth of spur gear disposed on the lowermost pedal shaft. In an exemplary embodiment, the spur gears can be connected by means of chain. The two spur gears are interconnected by means of their teeth. The spur gears are so interconnected that a 360 degrees movement of the motor, transfers a torque equivalent to 720 degrees movement of lowermost pedal shaft. In an embodiment, the spur gear disposed on the pedal shaft contains 60 teeth and the spur gear disposed on the motor shaft contains 30 teeth that is 2: 1 ratio.

[0033] There is a shaft present between the motor and the dynamo, which connects them and transmits the torque from the motor to the dynamo. A specially designed spur gearbox is used; comprising medium sized gears and connected in such a way that the mechanical energy / torque can be transmitted from one end to the other efficiently. The movement of the first gear in the gearbox is controlled and transmitted by the longitudinal vibratory movement of the hanging motor and generator by the crane. The gears are also arranged in a fashion such that the last gear moves faster than the first gear and is equal to the RPM of the motor and the dynamo.

[0034] The motor (1500 RPM), dynamo (1500 RPM) and the arrangement of pedal shafts and connecting rods forms a mechanical combination, wherein the initial movement is provided by the motor, which moves the gear present in the shaft and further compels the hanging motor & generator providing a continuous hanging vibratory motion. The base bracket wherein the motor and the generator are lying is made stable using optional shock absorbers. [0035] Now referring to Fig. 2 (a to d) which shows step wise movement of the pedal shaft. Fig. 2(a) shows the first quarter round movement. The dynamo and the motor is fitted on one frame and the weight of both dynamo and the motor are same to keep the frame perfectly horizontal with respect to the ground. In case if the weight differs, then compensatory weights are placed so that the frame remains in horizontal condition. The lowermost pedal shaft (f, h) which is in contact with the frame wherein the dynamo and the motor is fitted is also kept in perfect horizontal position. Similarly the pedal shaft at the topmost position (a, c) which is connected with the main frame vide bearing is also kept in perfect horizontal position. There is a flywheel connected at the central position of the said pedal shaft and is following the inertial law.

[0036] The upper part of the hanging position is a, b, c, d and the lower part of the hanging position is e, f, g, h. When 'a' is on top position, then 'b' will also be in corresponding top position and 'c' and 'd' will be in lower position. Then e, f will be in the back position and g, h will be in front position.

[0037] As per the figure the weight of the machine will be on points 'a' and'd' which is unstable and when 'a' is enacted with load, it will come down and thereafter 'c' will climb up and this way the cycle gets completed. Fig 2(b) shows the next quarter when points 'e' and 'h' are unstable. In a similar manner, the other quarters are achieved as shown in Fig. 2(c) and (d) respectively.

[0038] There is also provided an auto switch where giving outside power starts the electric motor (1500 RPM) and when the motor starts moving and the same moment connected spur gear and the pedal shaft starts moving. After 30 seconds the motor is switched off and thereafter the spur gear attached with pedal shaft keeps itself in motion. The same moment the spur gear and the pedal shaft starts moving down ward as shown in Fig. 1.

[0039] In the present invention the potential energy is continuously transformed into kinetic energy. Because of the continuous transfer on the energy from one form to the other the central shaft of the generator gets the movement and produce electricity. [0040] The system comprises of a high power electric motor, which provides the mechanical power to the dynamo. The shaft of the electric motor (1 HP) is coupled with an efficient torque transmission mechanism. The torque transmission mechanism comprises of a gear arrangement connected with chain and belt connections such that the mechanical power / torque of the motor is enhanced when fed to the dynamo (5000W). Also a part from the output of the dynamo is continuously fed to the electric motor. [0041 ] The gears present in the shafts are in the teeth ratio of 2: 1 . The gear at

(x) moves faster than the gear at (y). As an example the different speeds at different points calculated / noticed are as under when the motor and dynamo are taken with a speed of 1500 RPM.
