Offset Weight-Powered Engine

A method of generating power from a rotating offset weight-powered engine, comprising:

• rotating a power-generating assembly about a main shaft thereof, said rotating step comprising
• rotatably mounting a plurality of weighted arms on said power-generating assembly at a lever distance from a centerline of said main shaft;
• and
• applying torque to the power-generating assembly by maintaining said plurality of weighted arms in an offset weight configuration during the rotation step;
• and
• said maintaining step comprising
• rotating a control system about a secondary shaft;
• rotatably supporting a plurality of control arms on said control system at the lever distance from a centerline of said secondary shaft;
• and
• holding each of said plurality of weighted arms in a fixed rotational relationship to a corresponding one of each of said plurality of control arms.

A rotating offset weight-powered engine for generating rotational torque, comprising:

• a rotating generating assembly for undergoing rotation, comprising a main shaft;
• a main body mounted on the main shaft, said main body comprising
• at least two leverage points radially outward of the main shaft;
• and
• at least two power arms;
• each of said at least two power arms supported by a corresponding one of said at least two leverage points and rotatable with respect thereto;
• and each of said at least two power arms capable of assuming a static non-vertical configuration during rotation of rotating generating assembly;
• and
• a control system configured to maintain said at least two power arms in said non-vertical configuration during rotation of rotating generating assembly.
