Abstract:
A system for enhancing the conversion of gravitation into mechanical energy by means of the interaction of two sub-systems, each of which converts gravity into mechanical energy by means of a sequence of impulses of force, comprising:a first sub-system and a second sub-system, the first sub-system including a first rotatable element having thereon a first unbalanced mass and a second rotatable element having thereon a second unbalanced mass, in the first sub-system the first element and the second element being connected to one another by means of gears spaced equidistantly on a periphery of the second element and a first overrunning clutch, having a first local unbalanced mass on each gear in the first sub-system, said first local unbalanced mass having an axle attached therethrough and connected to each gear by means of a second overrunning clutch, in the first sub-system the first element having a certain kinematic relation to the second element such that during a free rotation of the first and second elements from an initial position, the first element is powered by the first unbalanced mass, by the second unbalanced mass, and by sequential impulses of force that are generated as a result of a rotation of the first local unbalanced masses around their respective axles and as a result of the constant rotational separation of the second unbalanced mass from the first unbalanced mass, said sequential impulses of force causing said first rotatable element to rotate with increasing speed during approximately two-thirds of a rotational cycle of said first rotatable element and with decreasing speed during approximately one third of the rotational cycle of said first rotatable element, in the first sub-system the second element being powered by the second unbalanced mass, by the first unbalanced mass, by sequential impulses of force that are generated as a result of a rotation of the first local unbalanced masses around their respective axles and as a result of the constant rotational separation of the second unbalanced mass from the first unbalanced mass, and by means of the gears, in the first sub-system said second rotatable element rotating slower than the first rotatable element due to the reacting force of the increased speed of the first rotatable element, the second sub-system including a third rotatable element having thereon a third unbalanced mass and a fourth rotatable element having thereon a fourth unbalanced mass, in the second sub-system the third element and the fourth element being connected to one another by means of gears spaced equidistantly on a periphery of the fourth element and a third overrunning clutch, having a second local unbalanced mass on each gear in the second sub-system, said second local unbalanced mass having an axle attached therethrough and connected to each gear in the second sub-system by means of a fourth overrunning clutch, in the second sub-system the third element having a certain kinematic relation to the fourth element such that during a free rotation of the third and fourth elements from an initial position, the third element is powered by the third unbalanced mass, by the fourth unbalanced mass, and by sequential impulses of force that are generated as a result of a rotation of the second local unbalanced masses around their respective axles and as a result of the constant rotational separation of the fourth unbalanced mass from the third unbalanced mass, said sequential impulses of force causing said third rotatable element to rotate with increasing speed during approximately two-thirds of a rotational cycle of said third rotatable element and with decreasing speed during approximately one third of the rotational cycle of said third rotatable element, in the second sub-system the fourth element being powered by the fourth unbalanced mass, by the third unbalanced mass, by sequential impulses of force that are generated as a result of a rotation of the second local unbalanced masses around their respective axles and as a result of the constant rotational separation of the fourth unbalanced mass from the third unbalanced mass, and by means of the gears in the second sub-system, in the second sub-system said fourth rotatable element rotating slower than the third rotatable element due to the reacting force of the increased speed of the third rotatable element, the first element of the first sub-system and the third element of the second sub-system being connected to one another by means of a fifth overunning clutch that provides sufficient friction between the first element of the first sub-system and the third element of the second sub-system so that movement of the first element causes the third element to move when the second sub-system is released from an initial position, said second sub-system starting to operate and interact with the first sub-system after the first sub-system has already made two revolutions with increasing velocity.
