Abstract
A movement simulator that has a cabin (15) that rotates through the action of a servomotor (12). The cabin/servomotor set rests on an axis (xx') that has its rotation controlled by another servomotor (5). The set formed by the cabin and the two servomotors rests on a third axis (zz') that also has its rotation controlled by a third servomotor (1) in a way that all the moving components of the simulator have unlimited rotation, i.e., even beyond 360 degrees over its respective axes.
Claims10
An electro-mechanical simulator with gravitational effects comprising:
- a. a spherical cabin for containing an object whereby said spherical cabin has first, second and third axes;
- b. an inner ring having an outer circumference and being attachable to said cabin;
- c. an external ring having an inner circumference;
- d. a bearing between said inner ring and said external ring for allowing said inner ring to move relative to said external ring about said third axis;
- e. a beam;
- f. a means for rotating said beam about said first axis whereby said beam is in communication with said external ring which is in communication with said inner ring such that when said beam rotates about said first axis, said external ring and said inner ring there together rotate about said first axis;
- g. a means for rotating said external ring about said second axis;
- and
- h. a means for rotating said inner ring about said third axis comprising a transmission means for transmitting force substantially about an outer circumference of said inner ring.
