PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Generating Electrical Pressure.
I, GORDON EARL ADAMS, of 33, Bernard Street, Russell Square, in the County
of London, Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to apparatus for generating electrical pressure or inten-
sity. Through the agency of a high speed motor I convert the electrical energy
furnished by an accumulator, or other starter of the apparatus, into mechanical
energy stored up in fly-wheels or revolving masses which are or may be secured
upon the shaft of such motor. The speed of the fly wheel shaft is geared down in
order to actuate, with considerably increased mechanical pressure, slow motion
dynamos generating electrical pressure, part of which, after the starter has been
disconnected from the motor, serves to supply this motor, whilst the remainder
or surplus electrical pressure may be utilized for driving, lighting or any other
desired purposes.
By way of example I have shown in the accompanying drawings one of the
simplest forms which my invention may assume.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation, Figure 2 a plan, and Figure 3 an end
elevation of my apparatus.
An electrical accumulator (not shown) furnishes the current for a high speed
motor M, whose armature shaft S is prolonged on either side and carries heavy
masses or fly wheels F. Bosses S¹ on the fly wheels form friction rollers bearing
upon roller discs S fixed upon prolongations Ss of the armature shafts of
dynamos D running at a slow speed. In lieu of rollers and roller discs I may
of course employ toothed wheels or other reducing gear. The dynamos D are con-
nected electrically with the motor M in any appropriate manner to supply the
current for driving such motor.
When the high speed motor is set in operation by the starter it imparts
motion to the fly wheels F, which store up potential and exhibit kinetic energy,
and through them to the slow speed dynamos D. These dynamos generate a cur-
rent which flows direct to the motor and co-operates with the starter, the speed
of the fly wheels being increased until they acquire the desired momentum. Then
the starter is switched off or disconnected automatically so that the dynamos alone
will henceforth supply the current to the motor. By reason of the differences of
speed between the moving parts of the apparatus the momentum of the fly wheels
produces enormous mechanical pressure which through the intervention of the
slow motion dynamos is transformed into electrical pressure or potentiality of
such magnitude that a portion thereof is sufficient to maintain the maximum or
normal speed of the motor, thus rendering the remainder available for industrial
uses.

I, GORDON EARL ADAMS, formerly of 33, Bernard Street, Russell Square, London,
W.C., now of 31, Lombard Street, London, E.C., Electrical Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to apparatus for generating electrical pressure or inten-
sity. Through the agency of a high speed motor I convert the electrical energy
furnished by an accumulator, or other starter of the apparatus, into mechanical
energy stored up in fly wheels or revolving masses which are or may be secured

dynamos generating electrical pressure, part of which, after the starter has been
disconnected from the motor, serves to supply this motor, whilst the remainder
or surplus electrical pressure may be utilized for driving, lighting or any other
desired purposes.
By way of example I have shown in the drawings (already filed with the Pro-
visional Specification) one of the simplest forms which my invention may assume.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation, Figure 2 a plan, and Figure 3 an end
elevation of my apparatus.
An electrical accumulator (not shown) furnishes the current for a high speed
motor M, whose armature shaft S is prolonged on either side and carries heavy
masses or fly wheels F. Bosses S₁ on the fly wheels form friction rollers bearing
upon roller discs S2 fixed upon prolongations $3 of the armature shafts of
dynamos D running at a slow speed. In lieu of rollers and roller discs I may
of course employ toothed wheels or other reducing gear. The dynamos Dare con-
nected electrically with the motor M in any appropriate manner to supply the
current for driving such motor.
When the high speed motor M is set in operation by the starter it imparts
motion to the fly wheels F, which store up potential and exhibit kinetic energy,
and through them to the slow speed dynamo D. These dynamos generate a cur-
rent which flows direct to the motor and co-operates with the starter, the speed
of the fly wheels being increased until they acquire the desired momentum. Then
the starter is switched off or disconnected automatically so that the dynamos alone
will henceforth supply the current to the motor. By reason of the differences of
speed between the moving parts of the apparatus the momentum of the fly wheels
produces enormous mechanical pressure which through the intervention of the
slow motion dynamos is transformed into electrical pressure or potentiality of
such magnitude that a portion thereof is sufficient to maintain the maximum or
normal speed of the motor, thus rendering the remainder available for industrial
uses.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
