Multi-directional radial clutch to store potential energy

An apparatus to store potential energy, the apparatus comprising:

• a first clutch body and a second clutch body;
• a radial ring;
• an axle;
• a first crossbar and a second crossbar;
• a first radial tee and a second radial tee,
• wherein each of the first clutch body, the second clutch body, the radial ring, the first crossbar, the second crossbar, the first radial tee, and the second radial tee are disposed on the axle,
• wherein the first clutch body, the second clutch body, the first crossbar, and the first radial tee are disposed on the first side of the radial ring and the second crossbar the second radial tee are disposed on the second side of the radial ring;
• and
• a first set of radial spring tube assemblies and a second set of radial spring tube assemblies,
• wherein each of the radial spring tube assemblies comprises a radial spring,
• wherein the first end of each of the first set of radial spring tube assemblies is hingeably attached near the distal ends of the first crossbar,
• wherein the distal ends of the first crossbar are attached to the first tee,
• wherein the distal end of each of the first set of radial spring tube assemblies is hingeably attached to the radial ring;
• wherein the first end of each of the second set of radial spring tube assemblies is hingeably attached near the distal ends of the second crossbar,
• wherein the distal ends of the second crossbar are attached to the second tee, and
• wherein the distal end of each of the second set of radial spring tube assemblies is hingeably attached to the radial ring.
