Gravity and velocity-change differentiator

Abstract

The invention disclosed herein is comprised of an electric generator powered by an electric motor that is activated by any source of electricity so that the torque of the electric motor reacting against its stator assembly and the action of the stator of the generator resisting the magnetic force of its rotor both act to electrically indicate the differences in acceleration of gravity and other accelerations when electrically-measured by electric current-measuring means.

Description

The object of the invention is to provide means to electrically-measure differences in the acceleration of the earth's gravity and of moving bodies travelling through space to detect minerals and water beneath the surface of the Earth and to provide a log of velocity at any given time and distance travelled through space. Electrically measuring the minute difference in gravity intensities at different places on the earth's surface by the sensitive means disclosed herein indicates the existence or non-existence of water and minerals of various densities beneath the earth's surface.

Referring to the drawing,

FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the device.

FIG. 2 shows a side view of the device as viewed along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1.

Referring to the drawing in more detail, character 1 represents an electric motor and the character 3 represents the motor axle of the electric motor. Electric current from batteries 12 flows through wires A,B to the motor 1. Electric current from the batteries 12 to the motor 1 is measured by the ampmeter 6. Character 2 represents the electric generator and character 4 represents the generator's axle. The axle 3 of motor 1 extends through the bearing braces 15 on low-friction bearings and the pulley 8 is fastened around axle 3. The axle 4 of generator 2 similarly extends through the bearing braces 15 on low-friction bearings and the pulley 8 is fastened around axle 4 so that the pulley belt 9 conducts torque energy from the pulley 8 of motor 1 to the axle 4 of generator 2 when the motor is electrically activated by battery 12. Electric wiring 17 conducts electricity generated by the generator 2 from one terminal through to ampmeter 6 and therefrom to Mercury-type electric switch 5, thence to the other electric terminal of said generator 2. The switch 5 is fastened to arm 7 so as to electrically disconnect generator current when the arm 7 becomes horizontal each time. Arm 7 extends for a distance from 2. A similar mercury-type electric switch 5 is fastened to arm 7 to indicate when the arm 7 of motor 1 is horizontal each time whereupon disconnecting the current from battery 12 to the motor terminals; each time. The support beam 14 supports batteries 12 and bearing braces 15 fastened to the support beam 14.

Resistance to the generation of electric current operates to raise arm 7 to the horizontal level where the mercury 10 in the transparent electric switch 5 operates to electrically disconnect the electric current each time and thereby allow the arm 7 to raise no higher. Fastened to the motor 1 in similar manner as that of the generator, arm 7 carries the affixed mercury-type electric switch 5 which similarly operates to electrically disconnect the electric current from battery 12 each time when the arm 7 raises to the horizontal level each time and thus operates to prevent said arm 7 from raising any higher. In a moving body the horizontal mentioned here is regarded as being on a level perpendicular to the direction of travel. On earth, horizontal is in regard to the ground level or horizon.

Both the ampmeter of the generator 2 and the ampmeter 6 of the motor circuit A,B show differences in acceleration of a body moving through space and gravity acceleration intensity differences on different parts of the earths surface. The greater the gravity intensity registered at different spots on earth, the larger amount of electricity is required by the electric motor 1 to maintain arm 7 level and the more electric current the mercury switch 5 of arm 7 electrically conducts in the generator circuit through ampmeter 6. The second version of the invention is identical to the first version except that the common torque-transmitting means 3 is different than that, 8,9 of the first version. The operation of the second version of the device is identical to that of the first version. The bearing braces 13 of the second version of the device are affixed to and extend from the support beam for a distance. Both the electric motor 1 and generator indicate differences in gravity and other acceleration forces on earth and in outer space travel and can be operated with only one operable mercury electric switch between the two as well as with both switches 5 operating in the operation of the device as long as the mercury switch of either is locked in the closed position or bypassed entirely by a jumper wire. In operating the device in search of water or minerals located beneath the surface of the earth, the unit is carried from place to place over the surface of the earth through support means 14 to measure the various gravity intensities at different places thereon.
