Abstract
A power transmission apparatus has a housing, a first shaft rotatably mounted within the housing, a second shaft rotatably mounted within the housing and extending around at least a portion of the first shaft, a third shaft exterior of the first and second shafts and positioned within the housing, a first transmission connected to the second shaft and to the third shaft such that a rotation of the second shaft causes a rotation of the third shaft, a second transmission connected to the first shaft and to the third shaft such that a rotation of the first shaft applies rotational energy to the third shaft, and a power receiver connected to the third shaft so as to convert the rotational energy of the third shaft into energy or motion.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a first shaft rotatably mounted within said housing;
- a second shaft rotatably mounted within said housing, said second shaft extending around at least a portion of said first shaft;
- a third shaft exterior of said first and second shafts and positioned within said housing;
- a first transmission connected to said second shaft and to said third shaft such that a rotation of said second shaft causes a rotation of said third shaft;
- a second transmission connected to said first shaft and to said third shaft such that a rotation of said first shaft applies rotational energy to said third shaft;
- and
- a power receiver connected to said third shaft so as to convert the rotational energy of said third shaft into energy or motion.
A power transmission apparatus comprising:
- a first shaft rotatably mounted within said housing;
- a second shaft rotatably mounted within said housing, said second shaft extending around at least a portion of said first shaft;
- a third shaft exterior of said first and second shafts and positioned within said housing;
- a first transmission connected to said second shaft and to said third shaft such that a rotation of said second shaft causes a rotation of said third shaft;
- and
- a second transmission connected to said first shaft and to said third shaft such that a rotation of said first shaft applies rotational energy to said third shaft, said first shaft extending entirely through said second shaft so as to have another portion extending outwardly of an end of said second shaft, said second transmission connected to said another portion, said first shaft rotating the direction opposite to a rotation of said second shaft.
