Abstract
Apparatus (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20) for conversion of a rotary drive force such as from a drive motor (22) into a vectored linear force m a known, controlled and predictable manner. The vectored linear force may be used for lifting/moving objects, pushing objects through water or into space. The vectored linear force is generated without the expulsion of mass or reaction with an external material or medium. As a consequence, the force generating apparatus may be embodied within an enclosed system having an energy source for generating the rotary drive force that can sourced from ordinary means such as an electrical generator, or from hydraulic or other mechanical sources.
Claims16
An apparatus for re-directing forces within a closed system to produce a vectored force to that system, the apparatus comprising:
- a first reactive mass and a mechanical system for applying force to said first reactive mass to cause motion of said first reactive mass along an initial path of motion relative to the closed system, the mechanical system permitting deflection of the first reactive mass from its initial path of motion,
- a second reactive mass,
- a source of repulsive force for applying a repulsive force between said first and second reactive masses to cause deflection of the first reactive mass from its initial path of motion relative to said closed system,
- the mechanical system applying a restoring force to said apparatus relative to said first reactive mass to return said first reactive mass to said initial path of motion following deflection due to said repulsive force, the restoring force displaced in orientation relative to said repulsive force so as to produce said vectored force from the combination of said repulsive and restoring forces.
A method for re-directing forces within a closed system to produce a vectored force to that system, the method comprising:
- directing a first reactive mass along a initial path of motion relative to the closed system,
- applying a repulsive force between said first reactive mass and a second mass included within the closed system, to deflect the first reactive mass from its initial path of motion relative to the closed system,
- applying a restoring force to said first reactive mass to return said first reactive mass to said initial path of motion following deflection due to said repulsive force, the restoring force displaced in orientation relative to said repulsive force so as to produce said vectored force from the combination of said repulsive and restoring forces.
A closed system apparatus for generating a vectored force to that system, the apparatus comprising:
- a rotary drive,
- a rotor driven by said rotary drive for causing rotation of said rotor on a hub relative to the apparatus, the rotor comprising a movable portion distal from the hub having a rotary moment of inertia, the movable portion having a first magnetic pole, and movably mounted to the rotor to change in the rotary moment of inertia thereof as a result of movement,
- a stator positioned adjacent to said rotor, the stator including a second magnetic pole for applying a repulsive force to the first magnetic pole upon rotation of said first magnetic pole past said second magnetic pole, said repulsive force causing movement of said movable portion and reduction of rotary moment of inertia of said rotor,
- whereby cyclical movements of said movable portion between positions of differing rotary moment of inertia generate unbalanced deflecting and restoring forces on said closed system so as to produce said vectored force from the combination of said deflecting and restoring forces.
