Description:
A machine for converting energy from gravity into useful energy, mainly for the energy industry.

The object of the present invention is a machine for converting energy from gravity into useful energy.

Using the principles of operation of simple machines, which include the turnstile, one-arm and two-arm levers, with the help of which and of selected ratios the displacement of given masses can occur, and under the influence of gravitational forces and reaction forces, becoming simultaneously complex physical pendulums.

This knowledge will enable us to use this process for continuous energy surplus without fuel consumption, thanks to which the energy output will exceed the energy input.

The first attempts to create a machine for converting energy from gravity date back to the 13 th century and since then tests with various hypothetical solutions have been known, among others such as rods with weights placed on the circumference of the wheel, and the movement of the rods is limited by resistance or in a wheel with suitably shaped partitions there are balls or machines in which the generator unit with an electric motor were to mutually propel each other giving some energy gain, ending up with machines with complex gears.

All those attempts have been unsuccessful to the present moment.

Website - http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/perpetuummobile. Essence of the invention.

The object of the present invention is to develop a machine design such that foreseeable negative work is performed under the influence of gravity.

The implementation of this idea is based mainly on simple machines, such as the turnstile, one-arm, two-arm, equal-arm and complex levers, which during the lifting of concentrated masses by appropriate gears, and then by releasing those masses and changing the ratio to the one-armed levers, that will perform the work, while moving from individual physical pendulums to a complex physical pendulum. The invention solved this problem in that block panels were embedded on the split shaft of the horizontal axis in vertical planes, so as to obtain continuity of connection on the horizontal axis. This was accomplished by means of cranks through flexible connectors and block panels embedded in neutral zones. It should also be assumed that the machine will consist of at least eight discs embedded on rollers or housing axles, which are mounted in block panels on radii drawn from the tops of a regular octagon inscribed in the block panels. For large constructions, it is preferable to adopt dozen-fold regular polygons, which involves the simultaneous serial expansion of panels and an increase in the number of discs. Their multiplicity can be selected so that they give the effect of a circle-like continuity. Rims should be embedded on the peripheries of the discs, which should be considered in two versions. The first version are toothed rims with oblique teeth, the second version is adapted to the rolling motion along the race, taking into account the increased coefficient of friction.

The selection of the size of the discs and their embedment should be considered when the radius of the discs is greater than the radius of the housing with discs rollers in the block panels. This version has very wide possibilities in terms of the selection of the size of the discs and ratios in embedding them in the panels of the block, as well as the selection of embedding of concentrated masses. In this version, there is one disc per block panel, while the subassembly consists of two panels on a common shaft, and the discs are embedded on the panels back to back, with a shift by one assembly relative to the adjacent one and relative to each other. Before connecting by means of cranks the adjacent panel subassemblies, the spacing of disc embedments should be selected so that they form a spacing with respect to each other by following angles: 45°, 90°, 120° or 135° and by an angle of 180° only when making theoretical considerations regarding achieving by the center of gravity of unit masses of horizontal axis passing through the center of the system. The entire machine assembly consists of at least eight components. It depends on the choice of the regular polygon multiplicity, which is tantamount to choosing the number of discs and the number of panels. It should be assumed that eight subassemblies consist of at least eight panels of the block with eight discs, moreover, the whole system is set in one horizontal axis with the possibility of further serial expansion.

At this point it should be mentioned that the entire machine system has an neutral balance, which in the next steps of assembly of the units will be limited to constant balance. Therefore, the purpose at this stage is to limit the movement of free swing of the discs in two directions and to move to only one direction.

This is accomplished by mounting one-way clutches or ratchet mechanisms between the block panels with discs. Then, in places adopted after calculations and adapted to the needs, taking into account the appropriate gear ratios, properly selected and concentrated masses should be attached to the discs. The most advantageous attachment of concentrated masses will be their eccentric suspension on rollers or axles previously embedded in discs. This version gives a very wide range of gear ratios selection. The larger the radius of the disc at a constant radius of concentrated masses, the lower the reaction force in lifting those masses. This means that the lower the reaction force in lifting the masses, the greater the output moment. Such transformed discs will act as physical pendulums for external block panels, which will form one large complex physical pendulum. The final step is to place the arm assemblies directly on the circumference of the circle circumscribing the assembly of the block panels with discs. We will consider two versions of this activity, the first version assumes the use of a arms assembly with ratchets cooperating with the toothed wheel rims, the second version will be considered as an assembly of races arms cooperating with the wheel rims, adapted to roll on the race using the appropriate friction coefficient.

In both versions they will be highlighted as upper arm assemblies and lower arm assemblies. The machine will be at rest, with the upper arms raised and the lower arms lowered. When the upper arms are lowered and the lower arms are raised and after initiating movement, the machine will start working. The upper arms cooperation with the discs It is then executed relative to the passing vertical axis through the center of the system between 135° and 45°, for all varieties. However, with the lower arms it will occur between the angle of 315° (for the theoretical version), and the angle of 225°, provided that the embedment of discs in panels with cranks is switched to 180°. In practice, this range will be between 270° and -180°, provided that the discs embedments in the panels with cranks are switched and adjusted to the following angles: 135° , 120°, 90° or 45°. In the above-mentioned zones, the concentrated masses are raised with the simultaneous participation of gravity and reaction forces, assuming that the paths of the concentrated masses are sections of flat curves referred to as hypotrochoids. In the zone between the 45° angle and the -270° angle, the free unit masses fall freely due to gravity. The paths of the concentrated masses are then sections of large outer circles and small inner circles with coordinates at the beginning of the system.

The preferred effect of the present invention is to find an alternative solution for hydro, coal or wind or solar, and above all nuclear power plants.

The object of the present invention is shown in the examples of embodiments in Fig. 1- Fig. 6. A machine for converting energy from gravity into useful energy, mainly for the energy industry, it is made of a split shaft 2. On the parts of that shaft 2, panels of block 1 are embedded in vertical planes, so as to obtain continuity of connection while maintaining axiality. This is done by means of crank assemblies 17 with flexible connectors 18 and embedded in the neutral zones of the panels of block 1. In the panels of block 1, in properly selected places, after calculations, housing assemblies 4 with rollers 13 are embedded, on which discs 3 with toothed rims 15 with oblique teeth or rims 16 adapted for rolling on the race arms 8,9 are mounted. The embedment of crank assemblies 17 with flexible couplings 18 is established in neutral places of block panels 1. The choice of disc 3 diameter must be greater than the radii of the blocks panels 1, and the radius of housing embedment 4 with rollers 13 for discs 3 should be smaller than the radius of discs 3 and at least equal to the radius of the embedment of concentrated masses 7 on discs 3. The next step is to limit the free swing of the discs 3 in two directions, which is accomplished by mounting between the panels of the block 1 and the discs 3, one-way clutches 5, which include ratchet mechanisms 6. The next step is embedding on the discs 3 the concentrated masses 7 in properly selected and calculated ratios, with appropriate adaptation of the place to needs. The concentrated masses 7 are suspended eccentrically on rollers 19 or on axles 20 previously embedded in discs 3. The next step is the installation of the arm assemblies 8, 9 on the border with the circumference of the wheel, circumscribing the assembly of the panels of the block 1 with the discs 3 relative to the vertical axis, passing through the center of the machine system O. Two versions of arms 8, 9 are used. The first version will be an arms assembly 8 with ratchets, where the whole assembly will work with toothed rims 15 of the discs 3. The second version is as an assembly of race arms 9 cooperating with rims 16 of discs 3, adapted to roll on the race arms 9 with an appropriate coefficient of friction. In both versions we will distinguish those arms as upper arms 8, 9 assemblies and lower arms 8, 9 assemblies. The cooperation of upper arms 8, 9 with discs 3 occurs relative to the vertical axis and the center of the system between 135° and -45° for all versions. However, in the lower part, between 315° (for the theoretical version Fig. 2), and -225°. In practice, this will be between 270° and -180° Fig 3 - Fig 6. The most important part of making the machine in cross section is the complex physical pendulum, shown in Fig. 1 in the resting phase, i.e. with the upper arms 8, 9 raised and lower arms 8, 9 lowered, which consists of at least eight individual pendulums, i.e. discs 3. By using one-way clutches 5, 6 together with the panel assembly of block 1, they will form one complex pendulum. An experiment was conducted with the machine at rest, with disconnected arms 8, 9 as follows: if we rotate the assembly of panels of block 1 from the rest phase, i.e. the phase of constant balance, counterclockwise by 90°, then one-way clutches 5, 6 will be locked. The block 1 panels assembly was then released followed by a clockwise movement. Under the influence of concentrated masses 7 there was a swing, passing through the lowest position, where return swing should occur. In this case, the movement will continue in a clockwise direction and until a few full turns with a slow dying transition to the rest phase, i.e. to the balance position. Returning to the point where the entire assembly of block 1 panels should swing back, at this moment only the disks 3 swing to original position, since the rotational movement of the free discs 3 can only occur in the counterclockwise direction. Therefore, the concentrated masses 7 will tend to take the lowest position, which will cause further complex pendulum movement and will give continuous rotation to the entire assembly of panels of block 1. Due to energy losses only in the clutches 5, 6, the rotational movement ceases after a few turns, but by using the arms 8, 9 assemblies, as shown in Figures 2 - Fig. 6, it will be possible after the movement of the panels of block 1 is initiated. The concentrated masses 7 with the discs 3 will strive to occupy the lowest position, at the same time they will activate the other discs 3 by cooperation with the arms 8, 9 assemblies in raising the other concentrated masses 7 to the extreme position. It will cause only the release of those concentrated masses 7 and re-cycle opening. This will occur in the following zones between 135° and -45° for all varieties and between 315° (theoretical Fig. 2) and -225°. In practice, for the other versions it will be between 270° and -180°. It depends on the embedment of discs 3 in the panels of block 1 in the zones where the concentrated masses 7 are raised. The paths of those concentrated masses 7 are the sections of flat hypotrochoid curves with the coordinates of the concentrated masses 7 points relative to the beginning of the coordinates 0 of the machine, which are as follows:

, , (-Rz— it) . . . . (Rz— rt)

x=(Rz-rt) cos g+ hcos— -——— - · ·g; y = (Rz-rt) siny— hsm -——— - g

where:

g is a certain parameter and h is the distance of the concentrated mass 7 point from the center of the disc 3.

At the same time, in the other zones, concentrated masses 7 work under the influence of gravitational forces between (theoretical zone Fig. 2) 45° and - 315°, and in practice Fig. 3÷Fig. 6 will be between 45° and -270°. Assuming that the paths of those concentrated masses 7 are the sections of circles: the large outer circle and the small inner circle, and the practical zone for the small circle will be between 360° and -315°.

Those circles will have coordinates at the beginning of the system 0, where parametric equations shall be as follows:

large circle X zh =R Zh -cosa; y zh =R Zh -sina, where a - between (theoretical zone Fig. 2) 45° and -315° in practice Fig. 3 ÷ Fig. 6 between 45° and -270°,

small circle X wh =R wh -cosB; y wh =R wh -sinB, where

b - between (theoretical zone Fig. 2) 45° and -315° in practice Fig. 3 ÷ Fig. 6 between 0° and -315°,

The task of the above solution is to change the position of the concentrated masses 7 with a simultaneous change in the position of the center of gravity of the entire panels assembly of block 1. During operation, the entire system forms a complex physical pendulum, and the center of gravity is shifted from the vertical axis towards the horizontal axis with the opposite turn to the movement of the entire system.

The system, striving to achieve balance, performs work and therefore the following relations occurs

åM 0 <0 to i å L o <0 ale å | M 0 1 >0 to i å | L 0 1 >0.
