Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a pair of reverse-scissoring arms, said arms being rotatable and reverse-scissorable about a common central axis point; a pair of volume expandable and volume contractible trucks, one of said trucks operably disposed at each of the distal ends of said reverse-scissoring arms whereby actuation of said arms simultaneously expands one of said trucks increasing its volume while contracting the other of said trucks decreasing its volume; a pair of electric motor-generators, one of said electric motor-generators operably coupled to each of said reverse-scissoring arms; and a pair of stored-power energization sources, one of said energization sources operably coupled to each of said electric motor-generators so that energization of said electric motors-generators by said stored-power energization sources actuates said arms whereas actuation of said arms without energization of said motors generates electrical power in said motors.
