Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     a) Field Of The Invention 
     The present invention relates to machines, systems and methods through which electricity is generated, by creating controlled imbalance on seesaw-like frames that propels the frames into unidirectional rotation.

     The invention may be implemented in a wide range of embodiments. 
       FIG. 1  shows both cylindrical sliders  6  and their attached magnet rings  6 ′ at their highest points on their respective guiders  15 . Guiders  15  are fixed to frame  5 . As the seesaw-like frame  5 , which is positioned vertically, rotates clockwise 180 degrees to its next vertical position, the largest gears  9  rotate counterclockwise 180 degrees by revolving around the central stationary gear  8  by means of their respective combination gears  10 . The 180 degrees rotation by frame  5  causes the descending cable  14 , which connects the descending largest gear  9  with the descending outer spring  12 , by means of the descending pulley  13  and the descending outer disk  7 , to slacken. Cable&#39;s slack takers  17  take this slack, as seen in  FIG. 2 . This cable&#39; slack  17  allows the descended cylindrical slider  6 , with its attached magnet rings  6 ′ and with the descended outer disk, to jump-up along the descended guider  15 , when it unblocked by the descended blocker  16  through the respective descended trigger  16 ′. After this jump, the two descended springs  12  became boxed-in by the descended cylindrical slider  6 , the descended magnet rings  6 ′ and the descended disks  7 , at their highest point on the descended guider  15 , shown in  FIG. 1 . At that high point on the descended guider  15 , the descended blocker  16  blocks the descended cylindrical slider  6 . Triggers  16 ′ are fixed on their respective large gears  9  and blockers  16  are held by their respective disks  7 , through which they are adapted to slide. During ascendence, the ascending outer disk  7  is being pulled away from the respective ascending magnet ring  6 ′ and from the blocked ascending cylindrical slider  6  by the ascending cable  14 . The ascending outer disk  7 , in turn, pulls with it the outer ascending spring  12 , which is fixed to the ascending outer disk  7  at one end and to the ascending blocked cylindrical slider  6  at the other end. The ascending outer spring  12  is being stretched until the ascending blocked cylindrical slider  6  completes its ascendance. At that point, the ascended outer spring  12  is in its full tension, as seen in  FIG. 2 , and the ascended cylindrical slider  6  is unblocked by means of the respective ascended trigger  16 ′, which is fixed on the ascended largest gear  9 , setting it free to jumps-up along the ascended guider  15 . At that moment, transfer of tension occurs from the ascended outer spring  12 , which has higher degree of tension, to the ascended inner spring  12 , which is fixed between the ascended inner disk  7  and the ascended cylindrical slider  6 , and which has only enough tension to lift one cylindrical slider  6 , its attached magnet rings  6 ′ and its outer disk  7 , when at their descended position. The ascended cylindrical slider  6  is blocked with its ascended magnet rings  6 ′, the ascended outer disk  7  and the ascended outer spring  12  by the ascended blocker  16 , at their highest point, as seen in  FIG. 1 . Both inner disks  7  are fixed in the same positions, but the outer disks  7  are adapted to slide, like cylindrical sliders  6  and magnet rings  6 ′, along their respective guiders  15 . The repeated jumps by cylindrical sliders  6 , after each 180 degrees rotation, shift the center of mass toward the same side of the rotating frame  5 . This shift of the center of mass creates the desired imbalance that produces continuation of rotation, by frame  5 , in the same direction. To achieve constant rate of rotation, similar frames  5  and components can be added to rotate in unison. 
     The capacity of the tension of the ascended outer sprig  12  to lift the ascended cylindrical slider  6  and the ascended magnet rings  6 ′ and also to transfer tension to the ascended inner spring  12 , as well as the capacity of the tension of the descended inner spring  12  to lift the descended cylindrical slider  6 , the descended magnet rings  6 ′ and the descended outer disk  7 , are the upshot of the capability of the present machine to create tension in each spring  12  with a unit of mass, which is lighter than the actual unit of mass that is needed to create such tension. The added force of magnet rings  6 ′ is essential in order to equalize, in predetermined degree, the force needed to stretch each spring so that each tension can be built-up with the same force, more or less, during the stretching of each spring  12  and, thus, enabling also more perfect transfer of tension from the ascended outer spring  12  to the ascended inner spring  12 . 
     Springs  12  may be substituted by other means that can be made to have the capacity to pull or push a unit of mass so as to create the desired one-sided imbalance in a seesaw-like frame in order to propel the frame into a continued unidirectional rotation.  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4  show how the inner springs  12 , guiders  15 , cylindrical sliders  6 , magnet rings  6 ′ and disks  7  are replaced with cylinder  15 ′ and piston  6 ″. The role of vacuum  12 ′ is equivalent to the role of the inner spring  12 . 
     The central stationary gear  8 , the combination gears  10 , that includes the smallest gears  10 ′, and the largest gears  9 , are the means by which each spring  12  can be stretch, or vacuum  12 ′ can be created, with lighter unit of mass than the unit of mass that is actually needed to stretch each of such springs  12 , or each of vacuum  12 ′. Vent  12 ″ is designed to maintain the highest vacuum capacity by releasing any air leakage each cycle. The central stationary gear  8  has the same number of teeth as in each of the largest gears  9 . Moreover, each combination gear  10 , which includes smallest gear  10 ′ that mesh with the central stationary gear  8 , has the same number of teeth as the other set of teeth in the combination gear  10  and it mesh with the respective largest gear  9 .
