Rotation generating apparatus

A rotational movement apparatus comprising:

• a platform, said platform having a central point at which said platform rotates, said platform having an outer edge;
• said central point defining a central axis extending therethrough about which said platform rotates;
• said platform defining a first radius line extending from the central point to the outer edge;
• a support assembly disposed below said platform;
• said support assembly having a connection to the platform at the central point in a manner that allows the platform to rotate at the central point;
• an arm connected to the platform at a connection point spaced apart from the first radius line;
• said arm having a first portion extending from the connection point with said platform;
• said first portion of said arm ending at an elbow where said first portion of said arm connects to a second portion of said arm;
• said second portion of said arm is positioned to overlap the first radius line and extend upwards from the platform at a predetermined angle towards the central axis;
• a thrust bearing positioned above the platform in a manner so that a center of the thrust bearing is in alignment with the central point of the platform,
• said thrust bearing connected to said second portion of said arm;
• and,
• wherein said thrust bearing is positioned so that when a predetermined force pulls the thrust bearing upward along the central axis, the thrust bearing pulls the arm causing the platform to rotate.

In a device having a rotating component, with the improvement comprising a method of providing rotational force to said rotating component, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a rotational movement apparatus comprising:
• a platform, said platform having a central point at which said platform rotates, said platform having an outer edge;
• said central point defining a central axis extending therethrough about which said platform rotates;
• said platform defining a first radius line extending from the central point to the outer edge;
• a rod connected to said platform and extending downward from the central point;
• an arm connected to the platform at a connection point spaced apart from the first radius line;
• said arm having a first portion extending from the connection point with said platform;
• said first portion of said arm ending at an elbow where said first portion of said arm connects to a second portion of said arm;
• said second portion of said arm is positioned to overlap the first radius line and extend upwards from the platform at a predetermined angle towards the central axis;
• a thrust bearing positioned above the platform in a manner so that a center of the thrust bearing is in alignment with the central point of the platform,
• said thrust bearing connected to said second portion of said arm;
• and,
• wherein said thrust bearing is positioned so that when a predetermined force pulls the thrust bearing upward along the central axis, the thrust bearing pulls the arm causing the platform to rotate;
• operatively connecting the rod to the rotating component of the device;
• and,
• applying a predetermined amount of pulling force on the thrust bearing in a direction away from the platform along the central axis to cause a rotation of the platform and the rod.
