Directional force generator
Abstract
Abstract A DIRECTIONAL FORCE GENERATOR COMPRISING MECHANISM WHICH UTILIZES CENTRIFUGAL AND GYRATORY ACTION FOR MOVING A WHEELED VEHICLE, BOAT OR AIRCRAFT, ON WHICH THE GENERATOR IS MOUNTED, IN A PREDETERMINED DIRECTION, WITHOUT OTHER PROPELLING OR LIFTING MEANS. THE MECHANISM COMPRISES ONE OR MORE ROTATED SHAFTS SWINGABLE ABOUT A ROTATED MAIN SHAFT, EACH SWINGABLE SHAFT BEING PROVIDED ON ITS OUTER END WITH A HEAD HAVING ONE OR MORE PIVOTALLY MOUNTED WEIGHTED ARMS MOVABLE INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER. WHEN THE HEAD IS SIMULTANEOUSLY ROTATED BY THE SWINGABLE SHAFT ABOUT THE AXIS OF THE SWINGABLE SHAFT AND BODILY MOVED IN A CIRCULAR PATH AROUND THE MAIN SHAFT, BOTH CENTRIFUGAL AND GYRATORY INFLUENCES FUNCTION TO CAUSE THE PIVOTALLY MOUNTED ARMS TO MOVE OUT OF AN ANGULARLY BALANCED PLANE OF ROTATION INTO AN ANGULARLY UNBALANCED AND CONSTANTLY CHANGING PLANE OF ROTATION. THE NATURAL FORCES WHICH RESIST MOVEMENT OF THE ROTATING ARMS OUT OF THEIR BALANCED PLANE OF ROTATION RESULT IN MOVING THE GENERATOR, AND MECHANISM ON WHICH IT IS MOUNTED, IN PREDETERMINED DIRECTIONS DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF THE SWINGABLE SHAFTS AND HEADS.
