Abstract
A rotating cellular energy generating device for generating electrical power for extended periods of time. The generating device characterized by having an annular rotating housing having a plurality of individual compartments therein. The compartments receiving material which is compartmentalized to accurately control the mass distribution in the rotating housing for maintaining speed as power is withdrawn or generated during the rotation of the housing.
Claims8
A rotating cellular energy generating device for generating electrical power for extended periods of time, the device comprising:
- an annular rotating housing having sides, a bottom and a top;
- a containment surrounding the sides and the bottom of the rotating housing;
- a plurality of individual compartments in the housing for holding movable material therein;
- auxillary power means for initially rotating the housing to a pre-determined speed and periodically maintaining the pre-determined speed as the need is required;
- means for redistributing the material in the compartments as energy is used and as the energy is developed;
- armature windings mounted around the periphery of the housing;
- and
- field windings mounted in the containment and adjacent the armature windings.
