Abstract
Disclosed is a combination of six substantially identical interconnected rotating masses, with a pair each of the rotating masses being configured to rotate in one of each of the three planes (X, Y, and Z). Regardless of the orientation of the six masses, each pair of the six interconnected rotating masses may share substantially the same center of gravity and generate a separate yet interactive kinetic energy and angular momentum in each of the three planes, thereby providing resistance to rotational forces from external sources. This is known as “equal force presence.” In one embodiment, the rotating masses are ring-like masses. In alternative embodiment, the rotating masses are solid masses, similar to flywheels.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- a first pair of ring-like masses configured to rotate in a first plane;
- a second pair of ring-like masses configured to rotate in a second plane;
- a third pair of ring-like masses configured to rotate in a third plane;
- wherein at least one of said first pair of ring-like masses and said second pair of ring-like masses and said third pair of ring-like masses are configured to rotate in a direction that is the same;
- and
- a control program, said control program being configured to control a direction of rotation and a rate of rotation for each of said first pair of ring-like masses and said second pair of ring-like masses and said third pair of ring-like masses.
A method comprising the steps of:
- rotating a first pair of ring-like masses in a direction that is the same for each of the ring-like masses in said first pair of ring-like masses in a first plane, said first pair of ring-like masses generating a first angular momentum;
- rotating a second pair of ring-like masses in a second plane, said second pair of ring-like masses generating a second angular momentum;
- and
- rotating a third pair of ring-like masses in a third plane, said third pair of ring-like masses generating a third angular momentum.
