1. Field of the Invention
This invention in general related to a class of devices, which utilize the centrifugal force produced by a plurality of rotating masses to produce unbalanced centrifugal forces which act in one direction.
2. Description of Prior Art
The present method to provide unbalanced force uses a mechanical means to move the masses as they rotate around a center of axes. Said masses are moved closer to and farther away from said center of axes to proved unbalanced centrifugal forces. Mechanical means are used to rotate these devices to convert rotary motion into unidirectional motion. The past devices are very heavy and require external power to drive them.
The invention in this application produces unbalanced centrifugal force, not by varying the distance of the masses from the center of rotation but by varying the speed of rotation of the masses as they rotate around said center of axes. The means of making these changes in speed is derived by the device itself, not by a mechanical drive shaft. The said invention is much lighter and has fewer parts than previous designs.
The supporting device can be of many configurations as long as they transmit the unidirectional forces to the frame and to the attached vehicle. The axes of rotation provides for the rotation of the arms as well as providing passages for to travel from air from the axes to the orifices in the arms. The arms and their attachments are shown in drawings one, two and details on three. The air passages on the axes provides a means for the air to pass into one of the arms and to the orifice. Said orifice is directed so as to cause the arm to rotate in a clockwise direction. At the same time, the axes also directs air into the passages on the other arm to cause it to rotate in the anticlockwise direction. The exit of the air from the orifices in said arms cause the arms to accelerate in speed until the ducts to the arms are closed off by the change in position of the arms around the axes. The new position of the arm causes the air to flow to the orifices on the opposing side of the arms. This causes the arms to slow in their rotation until they reach a position where the rotation causes those ducts to close and the original duct to open. This cycle continues as long as there is air pressure in the device.
With respect to the above description, it should be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to those skilled in the art, and therefore, all relationships equivalent to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed only by the scope of appended claims. The use of the word “air” is for simplicity of description. The arms of this invention could be propelled by any gas, steam or product of combustion or liquid that could flow through the orifices.
While the present invention has been shown in the drawings and fully described above with particularity and detail in connection with what is presently deemed to be the most practical and preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that many modifications thereof may be made without departing from the principles and concepts set forth herein. Hence, the proper scope of the present invention should be determined only by the broadest interpretation of the appended claims so as encompass all such modifications and equivalents.
