WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/134001
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The power conversion system (10) is a very efficient simple machine because of the unique configuration of the lever (22), which has a changing mechanical advantage, in a certain given distance and or time cycle. Importantly in the new lever's design, is that One Force is made to be of a Uniform Velocity, and more importantly one Force is prepared to be of a variable velocity, of which, depending on its modification, is either declining or increasing during its motion or stroke cycle. The unique configuration is primarily a circle or disc lever. It sits upright like a wheel on a road, while the input and output forces power it to rock or cycle to and fro on its support base (14). This unique combination of forces provides and makes certain unneeded E input forces available for use, captures them, and or an otherwise dormant force is made available for use. There are preferably several cylinders connected commonly together and working one at a time in sequence or by the use of multi-stage cylinders.

Description:
POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM

Background of the Invention

Conventional mechanical power conversion systems of today are basically an assortment of "levers or simple machines". All have various configurations and

combinations with their input and output forces typically of a constant or "uniform velocity".

The present invention is a simple machine with a unique configuration of parts and forces that provides "optimum working efficiency" for any force and from any source .

This "Disc Lever Configuration" is fashioned

primarily within and around a disc. It is provided with "variable input forces" and "uniform output forces" (and or vice versa} , which provides a "changing lever and force velocity ratio". The new disc lever unit has a given

"movable fulcrum arc segment" taken from the discs periphery and on which the "Disc Rolls and Reciprocates" a measured distance, cycles "to and fro" on its tangent support base. The disc sits upright on this "support base rack" like a wheel on a road. There are preferably several cylinders connected commonly together and working one at a time in sequence or by the use of multi-stage cylinders. This unique new lever configuration produces a variable mechanical advantage which provides an optimum efficiency.

Efficiency, is defined as; n = W out / W in

where n = efficiency / w = work.

To compound the Forces one and or several discs units can be coupled together with their E and R forces

compounded in a series hydraulically or by other suitable means. This multi set of discs are lined up together in a row like a roll of coins or discs rolling together yet independently to and fro on their edges together on their common support base. This provides for a group of discs E and R forces to be series compounded and these E and R forces are independently operating. This group of disc levers providing highly compounded E and R forces in the same distance and or time cycle as that of the first or initial disc lever and its same distance and or time cycle. There are separate spaces for various parts and connections on and in between each disc while series compounding is occurring. Each disc force compounding unit is an independently working disc unit with its own input and output forces which includes an unneeded and available new and useful force. Each of these input and output forces are series compounded progressively to and through each disc unit. This efficiency gain is made possible because of what its overall forces total. The E and or R forces of each disc unit contain and "also provide" the necessary basic forces needed to sustain the machine as compared to a comparable conventional levers output forces. This conventional comparison is measured at the completion of its stroke cycle.

These E and or R forces also include the available, unneeded new and Useful forces within the "same distance and or time cycle".

With the use of constant uniform forces in

conjunction with that of variable forces and the use of linier multistage cylinders and pumps provide "a port of opportunity" for extracting unneeded new and useful forces. These are located either at the applied Effort side or at the Resistance side of the machine. This is done because "the declining force (inclining or declining) is designed and measured for equilibrium to occur at the end of each and every stage. Because this force is

declining it has a higher force at the beginning of each stage, and this greater than needed starting force is what it captured hydraulically and placed into the pressure side of the hydraulic system with the forces available, while replacing into the pressure side of the system the same amount of live fluid used to reach equilibrium, and this provides for optimum efficiency.

Other means can be used to activate and direct the E and R forces such as with the use of, hydroelectric Linear Solenoid Actuators, linier Motor Actuators, Linear

Generators and Battery Systems etc.

The initial disc unit of "this inventions given fulcrum arc segment" has small ring gear teeth matching the teeth on the tangent support base rack. The meshing of the teeth keeps translation of the discs rolling fulcrum arc from occurring on the rack support base when Effort and Resistance forces are applied to the disc gear. There are structural support frames which hold and secure the discs and various parts. The transmission case enclosure is also not shown.

Illustrated in the drawings are the E and R force suggested locations and their associated hydraulics, motors, generators, parts, piping etc. This said overall term is used to describe the multiple number of disc units and its series compounded and given force output. This multiple number of independently operating disc units and their motion cycles are compared to as an overall single unit. This overall motion cycle is compared to and with the first disc unit of the set and its conventional overall distance and or time cycle.

The Effort and Resistance forces can be modified and situated selectively by the builder at primary points in, on, about, or around the Disc, and also by using

proportionate add on lever arms which activate the disc and the levers various hydraulic E and R force cylinders. Various shaped Effort and Resistance hydraulic force chamber configurations can be used and added on or about the periphery of the disc, including the inside or outside of the discs wheel drum.

With all modifications, the motion of the disc lever rolling its movable fulcrum arc on its support base affect the Effort moment arm too actually "change in length" either to reduce or grow in length as per modification which provides for a changing mechanical advantage. This variable force and by the use of multistage cylinders provides and makes certain E input forces available for use in a save work mode, and or an otherwise dormant output force made available for use. The Resistance moment arm remains a constant length because in this type modification its R moment arm is the radius of the disc. The R output force is taken off at the axis. Other modifications shown in the drawings provide for the Axis to be used for the Applied Effort force point of

application.

Another Disc rocking modification has two Effort forces (a left and a right side) placed by a means below the support base. These Applied Effort forces are placed up to and through the support base and attached pivotally by a means to the discs periphery. These Effort forces are connected a selected distance and mounted perpendicular to the periphery. One multistage Effort cylinder mounted to the left, and one mounted to the right side of the movable fulcrum arc segment. This provides a certain measured left and right side starting arc chord E moment arm length. With a motion cycle of the disc, the arc chord E moment arm reduces in length. This affects a changing force velocity ratio which when the disc rolls to a certain point on the support base it brings equilibrium to the E and R forces, motion stops and changes direction for another given to and fro motion cycle.

These same principles are applied to all the various modifications with the Effort forces placed at selected points around, on and about the periphery, and the

Resistance force output placed at the axis of the said disc lever. These Effort and Resistance forces points of application can by modification be reversed with each other (like kids can change sides on a sea saw with some adjustments made} , along with the reversing of the hydraulic parts, input and output forces, motors,

generators, pumps, various reservoirs and holding tanks etc.

For various builders' purposes, there are other modifications in which the fulcrum arc work areas large and small are found along 73 degrees to the right or left of top dead center and on the support base.

In, the further mentioning of another modification, there. are two alternate points of connection for the

Applied Effort Force on the disc, one at a selected point on the top upper left, and one at a selected point on the top upper right side of the disc (as i fig.4). One

Effort force is placed at 24.375" to the right of the top dead center (from @180° top vertical diameter mark and to the right side and to 52 with broken line

C in fig. 1) and parallel to the support base, another Effort force Multistage cylinder placed 24.375" to the left of top dead center (not shown in fig 1) . The

Resistance force is placed at the axis. Both are

connected operatively at the periphery and operate

alternately. The R output forces are provided at the disc axis parallel to the tangent support base. Both the applied Effort and the Resistance output forces can be variable and both can use multi-stage hydraulic cylinders as linear motors and linear pumps working in correlated fulcrum roll increments.

This support base can be other then flat or of a fixed type with a generally linear configuration. This relatively simple device, is only limited in output force by what force the materials used to build it can stand.

In this respect, the power conversion system

according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art .

Field of the Invention

The present invention is a power conversion system which is endowed with a "changing mechanical advantage". The movable fulcrum is an important part of this disc or circle lever and is used to provide changing force

velocity ratios, with one force being variable and one force being of uniform velocity. For one modification, The effort force is working to and fro at the axis and the Resistance has two points of force output of which one is critically located on the right top side of the periphery and the other is critically located at the left top side of the periphery. This is done in conjunction with common linier hydraulic cylinders and linier multistage cylinders and pumps of which provides and extracts unneeded new and useful forces. " he declining force" (or inclining in some modifications) in its motion cycle is seeking equilibrium and this declining force is greater at the start (or at the finish in some modifications) of each stage. This greater than needed starting force is captured

hydraulically and forced into the hydraulic system, while also replacing into the system the same amount of live fluid used to reach equilibrium, and this provides for optimum efficiency.

Description of the Prior Art

Conventional mechanical power conversion systems of today are basically an assortment of "levers or simple machines". All have various configurations and combinations with their input and output forces typically of a constant "uniform velocity" .

The use of mechanical power conversion systems of previously known designs and configurations were mainly devised for the purpose of transferring power as input forces to output forces through various methods and apparatuses using the logic of what you gain in force you lose in time or power and vice-versa.

Summary of the Invention

This new power conversion systems disc lever unit of this invention Provides linier multistage cylinders and pumps of which provides and extracts unneeded new and useful forces. "The declining force" {or inclining in some modifications) in its motion cycle is seeking equilibrium and this declining force is greater at the start (or at the finish in some modifications) of each stage. This greater than needed starting force is captured

hydraulically and forced into the hydraulic system, while also replacing into the system the same amount of live fluid used to reach equilibrium, and this provides for optimum efficiency.

This new simple machine also converts and transfers highly compounded forces which can provide a very high force output. This is because by the use of a series of these new disc levers rolling independently to and fro on their fulcrums and together as a group, and their overall force output is done "in the same distance and or time cycle" as that the first disc levers time cycle of the group. So compounding the E and R forces of a number of disc lever units in the same distance and or time cycle is a major find for and in this invention.

In general then, to compute the mechanical advantage of any compounding machine, first find the mechanical advantage of each separate element and then find the product of the separate advantages. As the disc continues into its given fulcrum roll cycle on its support base its E and R forces gain

advantage of position. It is important, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope and themes of the present invention.

The general purpose of the present invention is to provide a new and improved power conversion system and method, which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The drawings present an overall illustration of the power conversion system constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. With reference now to all the drawings and in their broadest context include a support base, a circular member, a selected fulcrum arc segment and with various selected E and R arc chords, Changing length moment arms, an input power member, a first attachment member, various hydraulic cylinders, multi stage hydraulic cylinders and pumps and multi stage linier hydraulic motors, various Effort and Resistance force chamber configurations in, on or about the disc or the disc drum, a second attachment member, a third attachment member, an output power source, a reservoir at atmospheric pressure, pressurized force accumulator tank reservoirs and output power members. Such components are individually configured and correlated with respect to each other so as to attain the desired objective.

First provided is a horizontal support base 14. The support base is formed in a generally linear

configuration. The base has a top surface 16. The top surface has equally spaced gear teeth 18 (fig.5). In this manner, a rack is formed. A (disc) gear 22 is provided next. The disc has a central axis 24. The unneeded parts of the disc may be cut away, or it can be of "another shape modification". Next is a first attachment member 48. This first attachment member 48 is formed as a reciprocating coupling which travels parallel to the base 14. One end of the first attachment member 48 is secured by a connecting pin and bushing to the axis of the pinion. The other end of the first attachment member is connected to the two way double ended hydraulic piston pump 48c (mounted to a frame not shown) which has automatic reverse flow control valves (not shown) , and a reservoir at

atmospheric pressure for spent hydraulic fluid is encased within an enclosure, also not shown. This 48c two way double ended hydraulic cylinder converts the hydraulic forces provided by the live fluid from rotary piston pump 48a to "measured to and fro motion cycles" of the disc on base 14. This "rotary" piston pump 48a is operatively connected and powered by input power member 46,215,299 and 299a. 48b is a live oil supply line which transmits the forces from the rotary positive displacement piston pump 48a to the two way double ended hydraulic cylinder 48c and of which reciprocates the first attachment member 48 and the disc to and fro on base 14. Another oil line (not shown) returns the spent hydraulic oil from the reservoir to the rotary piston pump 48a. The first attachment member 48 also represents and lays out the trajectory of the lines of force, which travel parallel to the base 14 and remain at 90 degrees to the start and finish constant length (the discs radius) moments of force 22F and 22E.

Next provided is a second attachment member 50. This second attachment member is formed as a coupling. It is secured with a connecting pin and bushing to the

"periphery" of the pinion at 36 and is movable between a first point A and a second point B. From the highest point 40 fig.5 (at 180 degree mark in fig.l) the discs vertical diameter (as shown in figure 5) , a line is scribed (on the back board frame which is used and not shown in fig.l) to the right of the 180° mark and parallel to the base 24.3873". This 24.3873" point is critical for the correct locating and placing of the hydraulic

multistage cylinder lineal motors 52 as in figs .1 and 5. This piston pump or multistage lineal motor 52 is pivot ably coupled at the equalizing tank frame in fig.5 and on to the second attachment member 50, which provides the critical and correct orientation of the lines of force 22c and 22d as they relate to and at right angles to the growing and or changing moments of force 22A and 22B fig.l, and is used in figures 1,4,5 and 6. This said second attachment member 50 is connected with a connecting pin and bushing to the periphery at 36, and 36a in fig.5, 24B is the fulcrum arc segment on the circular gear, which rolls and reciprocates a selected distance on the support base rack 14 between 24C and 24D (as shown in fig.l).

Although only one selected working area along the base rack is needed and with the above operative

embodiment, the circular gears (disc) fulcrum arc segment 24B may be modified in length by rolling to another

"selected by test" working area along the base rack.

During this to and fro cycling process, one force output is giving and losing force, while the opposite side is in its recycling process gaining the advantage of position, preparing for its power roll cycle in the opposite

direction. Many other measured working fulcrum arc segments on the support base can be found by test.

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a disk and its associated components as employed in the system of the present invention. It illustrates the new High Efficiency Power Conversion System of this invention with the basic Disc modification. It has a 14.125" diameter disc 22 shown in its starting position 24c on support base 14, with its top dead center point marked 180 degrees which is the discs vertical diameter. The unit's disc gear 22 is in its starting position for a right roll cycle on its support base 14 (a left motion cycle with the same corresponding components are (not shown) connected in at 36a providing for a to and fro continuous motion cycle. The Effort moment arms of force are shown as 22a and 22b and are at a 90 degree angle to the E lines of force 22d and 22c. The 1 st attachment member 50 (shown in two positions) is connected with a pin and bushing at the discs periphery at point B (and A) and the other end connected to the pivotally mounted Effort hydraulic cylinder linear motor 52 which is a multi stage hydraulic cylinder motor and which is located 24.375" (line C) to the right of "top dead center" (and parallel to the base 14) and is a requirement needed for setting up a "proper trajectory" of the applied E lines of force 22d and 22c. The live hydraulic fluid is supplied from an electric motor and hydraulic force pump (not shown) . The disc 22 has a given roll cycle on support base 14 by combining selected roll increments anywhere along a 73 degree section of support base 14. The 22e and 22f (radius) constant length start and finish R moment arms are shown which convert the effort force mechanical advantage via fulcrum arc 24b rolling on base 14, to resistances output forces via the Radius R moment arms 22f and 22e. Points 24a and 24 at the axis are the start and finish points of the R output force. The 2 nd attached member 48 powers reciprocating hydraulic force pump 48c which provides boosted live hydraulic fluid via pipe 48b to turn

hydraulic motor 48a which turns output power generator 48g supplying electric currant to battery 48h which stores and supplies electric currant for completing the system via wires 48L) . This Single disc units principles of boosted R output forces are illustrated here, and these boosted output forces can be series compounded by the use of a series of these disc as described earlier. The 24.375" to the right or left of the top dead center (in fig.l) and parallel to the support base 14 is provided for locations of the hydraulic linear Effort motors 52, 216 and 218 (in fig4) . This is the location needed for keeping the lines of force and respective moments of force at a 90 degree angle to each other in and around the disc during a motion cycle.

Figure 2 is a more detailed side elevation showing of the disk illustrated in Figure 1 along with its

relationship to its supporting base.

Figures 1, 2, are schematic illustrations of roll cycles of the disc 22 and its fulcrum arc 24b on the support base rack 14 which has small ring gear teeth 24d matching the teeth on support base rack 14 teeth. The meshing of the teeth keeps translation of the discs fulcrum arc 24b from occurring on rack support base 14 when E and R forces are applied to the disc gear 22. Also the drawings relates to the positioning of the Disc Unit on its support base. As the disc 22 rolls left on its support base 14, shown as C and D in figure 2 are the left side start and finish points of connection to the disc for the 3 rd attachment member (not shown) to activate the disc 22 for the left fulcrum 24c roll cycle on support base 14.

Figure 3, illustrates several separate alternate modifications of a hybrid multiplier transmission. With one modification, the disc gear 22 and has a "two way" hydraulic Applied Effort force linier cylinder motor 302 at the axis in combination with its resistance multistage linier cylinder pumps 311 and 312. With motion the given starting length fulcrum arc chord segments 319 and 320 reduce in length which increase the R output force

proportionate to the reduced length, and these multistage R cylinder pump stages cycle and follow the increase in the Resistance output force with the R cylinder stages increasing in their surface area size as it follows the forces to equilibrium which occurs at the bottom of each stage of R cylinder pumps 311 and 312.

In the reverse modification, a given Effort arc chord length provided by the added length of arc to each side of the fulcrum arc provides a given Applied Effort arc chord length 319a and 320a of which both reduce in length with the rocking and rolling of the disc, and brings planned equilibrium at each stage or increment with the R output forces taken off at the axis, where motion stops, recycles and changes direction. In this modification as

illustrated in fig.3, the Applied Effort forces are provided by Effort linear multistage cylinder motors 311a and 312a (voiding 311 and 312} which are placed pivotally below the support base. The given applied Effort forces are applied incrementally via attachment 325a and 324a and are connected at the periphery at the end of start arc chord lengths 319a and 320a which with motion reduce in length and thereby creating a changing mechanical

advantage. This provides a "conventional and an otherwise dormant new and useful Resistance output force" ' to be taken off at the axis hydraulically and returned into the hydraulic system. The Hydraulic piping, valve system etc. are not shown.

Also shown are internal combustion engine 299 is one source of initial power, an alternate hybrid power source being an electric motor 299a. Either one of these initial power sources can be utilized with various modifications with selected and given efficiencies. There are various hydraulic control valves 315,308,310, with others and various parts and equipment not shown.

Most modifications are shown as a single disc unit. The R output forces will be modified and series compounded using a plurality of disc units staged together like a roll of coins or discs rocking and rolling on their side fulcrum arcs. Also with this and other modifications the E and R forces and their associated engines, motors, generator, reservoirs, tanks and parts can be "reversed", with the multistage Resistance cylinders 311 and 312, and or 311a and 312a becoming the Effort cylinder motors and the linear cylinder motors 302 or 302a and (302b not shown) becoming the Resistance output force.

The primary embodiment of the invention is a power conversion hybrid system for converting power from an engine to an electric motor. The system comprises, in combination, an internal combustion engine 299 with an associated rotary pump 300 operable with the operation of this engine for pumping a fluid in a path of travel, or an alternate source of power is an electric motor 299a (which replaces the engine 299) In the primary embodiment, the primary power source is shown as an internal combustion engine. Other power sources are adaptable and can also be modified and employed as the primary source other then an electric motor are a hydraulic motor, water power, wind, wave and other alternate sources such as solar electric.

The disc 22 has a selected diameter with the

associated linear cylinder motor 302 coupled to the disc for oscillating the disc on a planar base from a central position located and placed at various degrees to a first position at a first side of a central position and from a central position the same degrees to a second position at a second side of a central position. A first line 301 is for feeding fluid from the rotary pump to the linear motor 302. A first multi stage cylinder pump 312 with an associated first attachment member 324 is operable in response to the movement of the disc to the first position and a second multi stage cylinder pump 311 with an associated second attachment member 325· operable in response to the movement of the disc to the second position. A hydraulic atmospheric low pressure reservoir tank 303 with a second line 305 is for returning spent fluid from the linear cylinder motor 302 to the hydraulic atmospheric reservoir tank 303 and with third and fourth lines 314, 316 for returning spent fluid from the first and second multi stage cylinder pumps 311 and 312.

Next provided are a hydraulic motor 327 with a mechanically coupled generator 332. The electric forces generated by the generator 332 can be used to charge a battery or other (not shown) , or it can supply electricity to an associated electric motor 333 as a final power output. Such final output is adapted to be a product of other means such as a hydraulic motor or the like. The generator and electric motor are operable in response to the operation of the hydraulic motor. A high pressure tank 306 and fifth and sixth lines 307, 309 are for feeding fluid from the first and second multi stage cylinder pumps to the high pressure tank 306. A seventh line 326 is for feeding live fluid from the pressure tank to the hydraulic motor for powering the generator and the electric motor. An eighth line 328 is used for

returning spent fluid from hydraulic motor 327 to the atmospheric pressure reservoir tank 303.

In an alternate embodiment of the invention where plural disks are employed for series compounding of the forces, this provides rocking and rolling in selected increments like a roll of large coins or discs rolling on their sides with spaces in between them for the various parts. This is the fashion for common series compounding of the input and output forces, with plural pressure tanks, step up pressure tanks are also employed with associated systems and related pipes and control valves etc. A mix and match of the types of cylinders used (by the choice of the builder) and they can be paired up as a set with one cylinder of a common type and the other of a multistage type, and or both the Effort and Resistance cylinders can be of the multistage type etc.

A ninth line 304 for supplying fluid from the atmospheric low pressure tank 303 to the primary hydraulic rotary pump 300.

Lastly, a hydraulic control valves 315, 308, 310 are in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth lines, some valves etc. not shown.

Figure 4 is a schematic illustration of an alternate embodiment of the invention which is in the form of a hybrid vehicle. This modification as illustrated may also have its parts, motors and the positions of the E and R forces reversed by and for a builders needs.

This modification illustrates an electric motor (it can be internal combustion or other) providing effort forces to the axis of the circular gear member while illustrating two given points of R output at the upper right and left side of the periphery including a right and left side one way hydraulic R output cylinder piston pumps 218 and 216 which are connected by second and third attachment members 214 and 214a connected with pins and bushings to the periphery of the pinion as it sits on its support base rack. It should be noted that this

illustrated double R output configuration is a normal function of the circular gear member and its system of parts and forces for this modification. A to and fro reciprocation cycle occurs with this said circular gear member and the rocking and rolling process of its fulcrum arc is provided on its support base 14. In this to and fro cycling process, one R force (at a time 212) output is providing optimum R forces and its corresponding

efficiency while the other side 212a is recycling and gaining the advantage of position, preparing for its power roll cycle in the opposite direction, etc. Figure 5 is a perspective illustration of a power conversion system constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention in a hybrid

modification. The Effort force is applied at the discs axis at 24. There are two alternate upper R force outputs shown at 36 and 36a. Only the R output 36 is shown working in a left fulcrum roll cycle. An internal combustion engine 46 powers the hydraulic rotary pump 48a which provides live hydraulic fluid to the two way double ended hydraulic cylinder 48c which supplies uniform Effort forces in a to and fro fashion via the first attachment member 48 which is connected at the discs 22 axis at 24 with a connecting pin and bushing. The 2nd attachment member 50 is connected with a connecting pin and bushing at 36, (the 3 rd attachment member not shown connects at point 36a and to the opposite direction, and to its piston pump, etc.) and to the one way piston pump 52 of which its live hydraulic forces are stored in an equalizer

accumulator tank 54 (a sectioned off part of the tank 54 is at atmospheric pressure for a return oil reservoir) . This live hydraulic fluid and its forces are transmitted to the hydraulic rotary piston motor 55, which is

operatively connected to electric generator 49, of which supplies electric forces to the battery 57.

Figure 6 is a modification of the disc lever in the form of "series compounding" with a number of disc units working independently together side by side like a roll of coins on its support base. Each E force, starting at the first disc unit axis, are respectively connected and hydraulically proportioned to the next R force (a left and right) output cylinder in line etc. A small "job rated" internal combustion engine supplies the initial energy source applied to a hydraulic positive displacement rotary pump. "Nine E cylinders" (all not shown} are two way hydraulic slave cylinders with their rods connected with a pin and bushing to their respective discs axis. Each of the Nine Disc Units has the same fulcrum roll motion cycles, and all have their own independent hydraulic systems. All of the "nine R output multistage cylinders" are one way piston pumps connected operatively to their respective point of R output on their individual discs. The ninth R cylinder is a nine stage telescopic piston pump which provides proportioned live fluid into each of its different size stages in declining increments.

Starting with the largest stage, the higher starting R output force is transmitted via live proportioned

hydraulic fluid into the first stage force chamber. This first stage piston force area is correlated to accept the smaller declining R force "at the bottom or end" or where that stage stops. At the finish of the last stage equilibrium occurs. A builder can mix and match common Hydraulic cylinders and multi-stage cylinders for various hydraulic purposes. In that manner, the amount of displacement and the declining force output can be critically regulated and controlled along with the compounding force procedure, and still provide an optimum average efficiency. The declining R output force is transmitted by live fluid into the pressurized accumulator equalizer tank system for distribution to the receiving positive displacement R output rotary motor, and provided for power takeoff. All the spent hydraulic fluids are piped and returned to atmospheric pressure reservoirs and re-circulated. Some hydraulic cylinders, automatic valves, electrical and various other parts, including encasement, frame and support structure are not shown. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Figure 3, also illustrates another basic internal combustion electric hybrid transmission which illustrates the workings of disc gear 22. This modification is an example of the reversing possibilities provided with two added alternate "Effort multistage cylinders" shown and placed below the support base designated 311a and 312a and used in conjunction with alternate "resistance force pump" 302a at the axis. The hydraulic parts and piping shown in fig.3 must be reversed and connected to their proper live fluid or spent fluid destinations thus demonstrating the reverse machine. Left and right side added lengths to the fulcrum arc segments are designated as 319a and 320a provide the left and right side start arc chord E moment arm lengths which with' motion of the disc reduce in length. the multistage cylinder motor and its

corresponding linear cylinder pump are operatively coupled to the disc to cause a rotation of 8.113 degrees (more or less) in each direction from a center position and is free to provide any selected degree fulcrum roll cycle and or given increments with the discs extended arc and changing moment arms on its support base.

In figure 4 a further alternate embodiment include a third attachment member 214a on the left side of the circular gear shown with its associated piston pump 216, and another at an equal number of degrees from the highest point of the circular member as the second attachment member 50. Each of these second and third attachment members has an associated hydraulic piston pump 216, 218 with a common force equalizer accumulator pressurized reservoir tank 220 (air over hydraulics) also within the tank is another section which is a reservoir tank at atmospheric pressure and associated fluid lines 222 coupling the hydraulic motor 230 to the equalizer tank 220 which provide live and spent hydraulic fluid to and from hydraulic motor 230. A hybrid vehicle has a drive

shaft 224 and has drive wheels 226, a differential 228, and hydraulic motor 230 turns the drive shaft 224 (as in fig4) . Shown in Figure 5 are the storage batteries and the electric cables, not shown are the various automatic flow control valves, which direct the flow of live and spent hydraulic fluid.

Figure 5 is a hybrid modification 215 is an electric motor (this could be internal combustion or other) with a hydraulic rotary pump 48a, which provides live hydraulic fluid as an applied effort force to the remote two way double ended hydraulic cylinder 48c which changes rotary motion to reciprocating to and fro motion which activate the first attachment member 48 (which runs parallel to the support base 14), which is connected to the axis of the disc 24 with a pin and bushing. Also shown are the right and left (2 nd and 3 rd attachment members) hook up point of the R output forces on the periphery designated as 212 and ,212a and connected to the R force hydraulic cylinder pumps 216 and 218.

Figure 6 illustrates a hybrid modification with a nine disc, nine increment fulcrum roll cycle on a common support base. Nine, nine stage hydraulic cylinders are used for a left direction series compounded roll cycle and nine, nine stage hydraulic cylinders are used (not shown) in a right direction "nine increment" roll cycle. An internal combustion engine supplies power for a hydraulic rotary pump which supplies live fluid for the two way Applied Effort force Slave cylinder pumps connected to each discs axis, various hydraulic lines, accumulator tanks, reservoir tanks at atmospheric pressure along with a hydraulic rotary R force output motor. Also all have a nine increment roll cycle with nine, nine stage R output force cylinder pumps (only one shown) connected in a series and their forces compounded together to highly develop the R output force and provide an optimum

efficiency, in continuous Left and Right reciprocating fulcrum roll cycles. Any and all the modifications can have their parts and E and R force locations reversed and series compounded in similar manner as in fig. 6. Not all working parts or is the frame shown.

There are preferably several cylinders connected commonly together and working one at a time in sequence or by the use of multi-stage cylinders.

As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as

illustrative only of the principles of the invention.

Further, since numerous

Modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the

invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
