Title: Thunderbird infinite motor
Inventor: WOODS J TIMOTHY
IPC: F03G7/10
Filed: 2008-04-30
Abstract: Many previous efforts to construct a perpetual motion machine (weight motor) have met with failure. Indeed physicists and mechanical engineers have insisted that it is an impossible task.  The following series of designs employs gears, sprockets and chains to allow a lever assembly to separate 'pro/sustaining force' from 'contra/work force', and to convert low value linear force into high value spin force. An 'eagle' variation of the motor employs a three-phase system comprised of nine main shafts, six relay shafts, and one work shaft. Feedback loops (3-2-1, 3-4-2, and 3-1) prevent the pivoting shaft assembly from achieving equilibrium.  Resistance deliberately imposed upon the 'contra' rims of 'lamb' sprockets forces wheels to seek the less resistant spin direction, causing the levered wheels to force spin in the rest of the motor. This motor can operate in any attitude, and in virtually any medium. Neither fuel nor even gravity is required; and no emission comes from it.
