Abstract:
An autonomous, high efficiency, centrifugal impulse piezoelectric electrical generator comprising a plurality of impulse assemblies each mounted on the front shaft of a rotational control means with the axes of the rear shaft of said rotational control means being offset from the axes of said front shaft; said front shaft mounted through bearings mounted symmetrically on spokes of a central wheel; said rear shaft mounted on bearings mounted symmetrically on spokes of a offset wheel; said rotational control means coupling said central wheel to said offset wheel; axes of said central wheel mounted on the front end of the drive shaft; said drive shaft mounted through bearings at front and rear of the generator mount with a drive wheel mounted on the rear end of said drive shaft; said offset wheel mounted on an offset wheel bearing mounted on the front of said generator mount with the axes of said offset wheel bearing vertically offset from the axes of said drive shaft a distance equal to the offset between said front shaft and said rear shaft of said rotational control means; said impulse assemblies are held in vertical alignment as they rotate around said drive shaft generating an alternating centrifugal force on said impulse assemblies.
