| CLAIMS 1. A gravity machine that utilizes gravity and the property of liquids to produce kinetic energy and characterized in that it contains a spherical tube (A) drawing 1 which comprises of two parts that allow us to place inside the tube two discs (B1 ) and (B2) which are connected in their centre with two shafts (C1) and (C2). Now as the discs are connected with the shafts we mount shafts (C1) and (C2) on fixed stands (E1) and (E2) that allow them to rotate freely and in a position where the centre of the discs remains in the same height as the imaginary centre of the sphere that is defined by the inner surface of tube A and perpendicular to the ground and acute-angled to each other as shown in drawing 2 where the smallest and the largest opening they create amongst them will be in the same horizontal plane and in this position we stabilize the machine. The surfaces of discs' (B1 ) and (B2) circumferences that tangent to the inner surface of tube A define and are part to the imaginary sphere's surface upon which tube (A) has the stability as if it was supported on the perfect sphere upon which the inner surface of tube (A) would have the perfect fit, the size of these surfaces will be the one with the smallest friction. In this way an enclosed container is created which be means of flanges in the circumference of. the discs becomes sealed that includes area (Z) drawing 2 and when we add water or another liquid inside area (Z) from an opening of a disc in its higher point the water mass due to the shape of area (Z) is distributed in such a way that the gravity centre of the machine is displaced towards the point of the large angle created by the two discs. This way the support points of the machine which are the rotating shafts (C1) and (C2) and the gravity centre diverge and the machine due to gravity and non-counterbalancing to it forces will rotate to achieve balance, however every new position it will receive, due to the liquidity of the water who's surface tends to align with the horizontal plane, will be the same as the previous one and its rotation will continue for as long as there is water inside area (Z). If the same machine as described above is submerged in water or another liquid without adding water inside area (Z) then the buoyancy applied on the surface of the machine as it submerges the buoyancy centre will be far from the support points and the machine will rotate but this time in the opposite direction. This will continue for as long as area (Z) remains sealed. This kinetic energy can be captured by using gears on the shafts and be used directly or be transformed into other forms of energy. 2. Gravity machine according to claim 1 characterized in that there will be placed inside the tube (A) and on its maximum circumference which will be parallel to the openings of the tube and perpendicular to the ground gears which will be connected with respective gears on the circumference of the discs (B1 ) and (B2) so that each motion of the individual parts of the machine may be carried on to its remaining parts creating a rigid construction. |
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention refers to a machine that comprises of a sealed container which is supported by two angled shafts (C1 ) and (C2) drawing 2 which can rotate, and comprises of a spherical tube (A) within which two circular discs (B1 ) and (B2) are placed that are respectively connected in their centre by shafts (C1 ) and (C2) in a position that the protruding circumferences of the discs are fully tangent to the inner surface of the tube and support it as if the tube was supported in the perfect sphere without gaps upon which it could rotate, and this is because the circumferences of the discs are in a position that constitutes them a part of this imaginary perfect sphere, in this arrangement of the machine's parts if we immobilize tube (A) the discs may rotate by sliding on the inner surface of the tube and the opposite if we immobilize the discs the tube rotates by sliding on the circumferences of the discs with this way a sealed area (Z) drawing 2 is created with a fixed shape and volume and even at the same space regardless of the rotation of one or all of the machine's parts. The absolute sealing of area (Z) is ensured if we place flanges in the circumference of the discs inside area (Z). When the sealed area (Z) that is surrounded by the container fills with water or other liquid then the gravity centre of the machine's container diverges from its -support points and thus rotates in order to balance without however being able to find a balance point. Also, the same container when submerged within a liquid and with area (Z) being empty the buoyancy applied on it also creates imbalance and the container is again rotating this time in an opposite direction from the first. In this case the sealing of the area is achieved if we place flanges in the circumference of the discs outside area (Z).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The gravity machine consists:
1. Of a spherical tube (A) drawing 1 who's outer but also inner surface is part of a sphere's surface and the two openings are equal and parallel to each other. It is made of solid and rigid material.
2. Of two equal discs (B1) and (B2) drawing 1 of circular shape where the surface of their circumference is part of the surface of the imaginary sphere upon which tube (A) could rotate steadily and without gaps, they are made of solid and rigid material the same one as tube (A).
The diameter of the discs is smaller than the diameter that is defined by the inner surface of tube
(A) but such that when they are placed inside tube A under angle they will define and be part of the imaginary sphere upon which tube (A) will have the perfect fit without gaps and it will be able to rotate with the smallest friction.
3. Of two shafts (C1) and (C2) with which we will connect the centre of discs (B1) and (B2) respectively and we will support them in fixed points (E1) and (E2) respectively in a way that they will be able to rotate freely.
ASSEMBLY OF THE MACHINE
The important thing about the assembly of the machine is to get discs (B1 ) and (B2) through tube (A) this can be accomplished in many ways two of which are either for tube (A) to be in two pieces which will be connected together after the discs have been inserted inside, either for discs (B1) and (B2) to be in two pieces and after they are inserted in tube (A) they will be connected together. Here we will describe the procedure where the tube is in two pieces that are connected in the middle of the tube and in its maximum circumference. This way we get disc (B1) inside the first piece of tube (A) and disc (B2) inside the second piece of tube (A) in a way that the convex surfaces of the discs' circumferences will be facing the side of the openings of the completely connected tube (A) and we connect the pieces of the tube in such a way that they create the spherical tube. Then we connect the centre of disc (B1 ) with shaft (C1) and respectively the centre of disc (B2) with shaft (C2). Now as the discs are connected with the shafts we mount shafts (C1 ) and (C2) upon fixed stands (E1 ) and (E2) which allows them to rotate and in a position where the centre of the discs is at the same height with the imaginary centre of the sphere that is defined by the inner surface of tube (A) and perpendicular to the ground and acute-angled to each other as shown in drawing 2 where the smallest and the largest opening that they create amongst them will be on the same horizontal plane and in this position we stabilize the machine. The surfaces of the discs' (B1 ) and (B2) circumferences that tangent to the inner surface of tube (A) define and are part of the surface of the imaginary sphere upon which spherical tube A is stable as if supported by the perfect sphere upon which the inner surface of tube (A) would have the perfect fit, the width of these surfaces of the disc will be the one with the smaller friction. And when we rotate tube (A) it is rotated around the imaginary axis of the sphere's centre that is defined by its inner surface by sliding on the surfaces of the discs, as well as when we rotate the discs they are sliding on the inner surface of tube (A). In this way we have created an enclosed container that includes area (Z) drawing 2 that is surrounded by discs (B1 ), (B2) and tube (A) and when we rotate either the tube either the shafts or everything together area (Z) remains the same in shape, volume but also in the same space. If we add water or another liquid within area (Z) by an opening of a disc in its higher point the water mass due to the shape of area (Z) will be distributed in such a way that the machine's gravity centre is displaced from the support points of the machine which are shafts (C1) and (C2) and the machine due to gravity and non-counterbalancing to it forces will rotate to achieve balance, however every new position it receives, due to the liquidity of water whose surface tends always to align with the horizontal plane, will be the same as the previous one and the rotation of the machine will continue for as long as there is water within area (Z).
The machine can be used also in a different way by utilizing buoyancy. If the same machine described above is submerged within water or another liquid without adding water inside area (Z) then the buoyancy that is applied on the surface of the machine for as long as it is submerged the buoyancy centre that is the equivalent of gravity centre will be far from the support points and the machine will rotate but in an opposite direction. This will keep going on for as long as area (Z) remains sealed.
Maintaining the sealing of area (Z) in both applications of the invention is necessary and can be completely achieved with the use of flanges that will be placed in the circumference of the discs inside area (Z) for the first application and in the external point in the case of the second application.
Also, the parts of the machine can be connected together forming a rigid construction if inside tube
(A) and in its maximum circumference that will be parallel to the openings of the tube and perpendicular to the ground we mount gears which will be connect under an angle with respective gears in the circumference of discs (B1 ) and (B2) so that each motion of the individual parts of the machine will be transferred also, to its remaining parts and tube (A) will remain stable.
For capturing the motion of the machine the use of simple gears on the rotating axles (C1) arid (C2) will suffice to use this kinetic energy directly or to transform it to other forms of energy. Furthermore, many of these machines can cooperate and constitute very large energy production units.
The energy produced by the gravity machine as disclosed in this specific invention constitutes an inexhaustible source of pure energy and can be applied in any environment where there is gravity and matter in a liquid form. The size of the machine is only limited by the strength of the materials.
