Abstract
The disclosed invention is a description of the means to create increased mechanical advantage by taking advantage of the rotation of confined liquid matter. The process described uses liquid both as a mass to store rotational energy, and at the same time the rotating liquid is used as a motive force to drive a rotating shaft.
Claims17
A fluid flywheel device comprising a container having an inner wall, an inlet for allowing a non-compressible liquid to enter the container, an outlet to allow the liquid to exit the container, a shaft concentrically positioned in the container, a paddle fixed to the shaft, and a bottom, the outlet being positioned above the level of the inlet causing liquid removed from the container to be from above the inlet.
A fluid flywheel device comprising a container having an inner wall, an inlet for allowing liquid to enter, an outlet to allow liquid to exit, a non-rotating shaft, a rotatable post mounted on a top of the shaft, at least one arm extending radially from the post, and a paddle fixed to the at least one radial arm.
