Patent Description:
The generation of a drive torque on a shaft as a result of the movement of a fluid has traditionally been achieved through hydraulic turbines. Hydraulic turbines are divided into action turbines, in which the speed of the fluid is utilized to achieve the movement of the propeller, and reaction turbines that utilize the pressure difference in the blades to achieve movement. However, all of these turbines use the potential difference to perform movement. Recently, the gravitational motor, as an invention, generates movement with toric semi-pistons which generate movement inside a toric casing, therefore having gaskets in the direction of advancement, which causes it to have greater pressure losses due to liquid loss.

The pressure-based dynamic generator solves the problems of the aforementioned devices since it does not make a potential difference and does not have sealing gaskets in the direction of advancement of the angular movement. This increases the number of cycles that can be performed without having to restart the system. Since a single movable part drives the rest of the systems, by making the systems integral therewith, the generated drive torque is substantially increased, and therefore increasing productivity.

Earlier inventions show a remarkable constructive facility, which makes the industrial production thereof viable, avoiding constructive gaskets that would cause significant production losses, and preventing a considerable saving in execution and pressure losses as a result of material dilation.

The hydraulic jack is another earlier invention using the same physical principles as the pressure-based dynamic generator, as it introduces a force in a conduit filled with a liquid that is transformed into pressure and this force entering the device in one direction, exiting in another direction different from the initial direction, according to a surface placed at the other end of the device, generating a movement as a result of the difference of the mobilized surfaces, and therefore of the applied force and the resultant force, the same principle of Pascal's law being that which is applied in the sealed chambers of the generator to produce movement. Furthermore, another device which transforms a vertical weight into pressure on a liquid is disclosed in <CIT>.

In order to generate movement in a stable manner, the device, as an innovation, is kept horizontal, preventing excessive friction, due to the counterweights that are supported on the movable cover to keep it with a flat movement. Preventing excessive friction and unnecessary clearances due to the continuous effect of pressure. The different weights and counterweights which can be used to generate different pressure conditions and to balance the increases and differences in speed and work of the cover with its movable elements.

The pressure-based dynamic generator produces a drive torque on a shaft by subjecting a liquid to pressure. The liquid transforms a constant vertical force, such as the weight caused by the gravitational field, into a horizontal force through a pressurized system. The pressure generated on the liquid is transmitted in all the directions of the contour of the chamber containing same, however, the static tank prevents most movements in specific directions of the space, particularly vertical and downwards movement, thereby gathering part of the force caused by the pressure. However, the movable cover allows the rotation about the main shaft of the liquid contained in the chamber and the cover which it drives during its movement. This means that the pressure exerted by the weight causes an angular movement of the movable part, and therefore an angular velocity about a shaft of the weight transmitting system, without generating a potential difference.

The generator has a mechanism for loading and unloading weight with respect to the weight transmitter support. This mechanism allows controlling the amount of weight that actually exerts pressure on the device, whereby the speed and the generated torque can be regulated. The weight that is actually applied on the transmitter support is the one that generates a vertical force on the lateral compressors. The weight transmitter support and the lateral compressors must be integral with one another, such that when the side compressors move, they drive the weight transmitter support therewith, and therefore the attachment of said parts must have the structural strength to allow such joint movement. The lateral compressor is a part that fits vertically into the static tank, in the admission grooves of the compressor. These grooves are vertical and fit perfectly to the compressor, this is completed with sealing gaskets that prevent liquid loss at said point. The compressor can therefore slide vertically inside the grooves of the movable cover, such that the weight of the cover in no time rests on the cover. Rather, it rests solely and exclusively on the liquid to which it transmits the pressure caused by the force of gravity.

The fit between the movable part or cover and the static part or tank is a surface of revolution about the rotation shaft, which means that the cover can rotate inside the tank freely without anything hindering it, and at the same time keep the liquid sealed between the tank and the cover as a result of the sealing gaskets between the cover and the tank. There are several sealed chambers or compartments between the cover and the tank which are filled with an incompressible fluid, and the lateral side compressor rests completely on this liquid. Transmitting the weight to the fluid exclusively. The system has three parts moving independently of one another other. A static tank, a movable cover, and a liquid compression system.

The sealed chambers are compartments between the movable part and the static part of the device. They are sealed, liquid-filled compartments that can become pressurized under the effect of the lateral compressors. Their contact surface between the movable cover and the static tank is a surface of revolution allowing movement about the <NUM>° axis of revolution solely and exclusively in this manner. This is because movements of the movable part in any other direction other than the rotational direction about the axis are not allowed in the sealed chambers. The chambers are furthermore defined by ribs pertaining to the movable part of the device and dividing the volume by way of spokes in a wheel. The ribs are vertical and radial according to the rotational shaft and one of the faces is in full contact with the liquid, while the opposite face is in contact with the lateral compressor, such that there is no contact with the liquid on that surface. The compressor, on its face opposite the rotation, and the rib are in close contact, such that the fluid cannot penetrate or exert pressure between these two components. The face of the compressor in contact with the liquid in the direction of advancement rests exclusively on the liquid, the lower face from the groove is inclined towards the rib against which it slides vertically. This face of the compressor in contact with the liquid has thickness decreasing to the rib, without ever resting on the static bottom tank or on the rib, only on the liquid. This inclination must have a geometric component in the horizontal direction of advancement, i.e., radial in the direction of rotation, such that if the pressure on the different faces of the rib is evaluated in the chamber, it can be observed that on the face in contact with the compressor the rib does not receive as much pressure from the liquid as on the free face, i.e., the face opposite the friction of the compressor, where the rib is in completely contact with the fluid. Therefore, there is a higher pressure on the face of the rib of the cover in said direction of rotation.

The fluid is under pressure inside the chamber, which is a space between a movable part and a fixed part. According to Pascal's law, the pressure is distributed equally according to all the faces of the space it occupies and always perpendicular to the outer contour. Since there is arranged inside this chamber an object that introduces pressure due to the vertical weight it supports, the face of this object or the lateral compressor will exert pressure on the liquid or incoming pressure, while the rest of the faces will have an outgoing pressure or pressure in the direction of liquid expansion, i.e., the direction of expansion of the liquid on the walls. As the contact face between the compressor and the rib is vertical and has no fluid, pressure is not transmitted by the liquid, only the other face of the compressor generates incoming pressure on the fluid and with a horizontal component which is in accordance with the geometry of the solid but which, in the liquid, is perpendicular thereto.

If the pressure is broken down by directions. According to the lower face, the tank itself compensates for the vertical force as it is a static part and it is also counteracted by the tank itself in its outer contour. The vertical upward movement of the cover is counteracted by the counterweight system which prevents the movement, keeping it horizontal. Due to its geometry, the movable cover can only perform one movement that is not prevented by the static tank or the counterweights, i.e., rotation about its axis of revolution of the contact with the cover. Without unloading weight on the compressors and by way of verification that the system works, if a horizontal force is applied on the cover in the direction of rotation, the cover would rotate about its own shaft, so with that horizontal force generated by the weight, the movable system rotates with respect to the static one.

If the system of forces on the walls on which the liquid exerts pressure is evaluated. In each fluid-filled sealed chamber and on the same faces of the ribs with the same direction of rotation, there will be a higher pressure than on the face opposite the rotation. The evaluation of the forces exerted by the pressure on a rib explains the reason for the rotation of the cover. The rib is radial to the rotation shaft and the compressor slides vertically on one of the faces or on the face opposite the advancement, since the face of the rib is vertical. Therefore, the liquid will exert no pressure at all on the rib on the entire contact surface, in fact it is an incoming pressure in the fluid on which the lateral compressor rests. However, on the opposite face the entire surface is in contact with the liquid. The force F applied on that face can be defined as F=P*S, where P is the pressure and S the surface. So, the force on the contact face with the compressor Fc and the force on the free face will be Fl and they will fulfill the inequality Fc< Fl, as the pressure is equal but the surfaces on which the pressure is exerted are smaller on the contact face than on the free face of the rib.

If Bernoulli's equation is applied to the fluid contained in a chamber since the fluid is incompressible and subjected to pressure without potential difference, it will be observed that the term of the potential difference disappears from the equation as it is zero, while the pressure in the direction of rotation proceeds to provide a speed to the liquid as this alone can counteract the pressure in the direction of rotation, if frictional losses are taken into account, it is observed that the pressure in the ribs in the direction of rotation is transformed into the speed of the fluid, and the rotation of the movable cover that it drives therewith. The Bernoulli's equation is as follows: <MAT> Where the terms:.

If Z<NUM>=Z<NUM> for an unbalanced initial pressure P<NUM> on both faces of a rib and V<NUM>=<NUM>. To obtain a compensated pressure P2, the fluid would have to develop a V2, compensate for frictional losses, and could generate a work provided that the initial pressure was sufficient. The situation being similar to Bernoulli's tapering in a tube, where higher speed is achieved at lower pressure for one and the same liquid stream, provided that the contour is modified such that it tapers off.

The pressure of the fluid in the static part and its adhesion thereto causes the reaction on the part of the tank necessary for the movement according to Newton's third law. Unlike a solid, liquid deforms as it advances, and due to that reason and to the fact that adhesion generates a boundary layer at the contact between the tank and the liquid, it causes within same a pseudo-elliptical particle movement in the chamber, and therefore pushes the cover. The device complies with the principle of energy conservation, which states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in an isolated system, only transformed, and it complies same because the system is not isolated, but is continuously and permanently receiving a weight on the device that is transformed into pressure, and in turn this pressure does not drop as speed increases, but is continuously fed by the weight, allowing it to rotate while the pressure supply persists.

The device is not a perpetual or continuous movement, but rather pressure and frictional losses cause the degradation of the characteristics of the system, and therefore the sealing and pressure within the chambers. Therefore, after a certain working period, the system has to be reassembled with the same working characteristics in order for it work again. The sum of the chambers around the shaft generates a total force which is transformed into angular velocity of rotation.

The weight does not make a potential difference due to the incompressibility of the liquid, but since rotation about the shaft of the movable cover is allowed, it acquires angular velocity about the rotation shaft and that angular velocity generates the drive torque. Since the movable cover is divided into sectors, it prevents fluid loss during movement since the differential fluid losses will pass to the adjacent chambers and so on and so forth. Contrary to the rotation caused in isolated chambers where any fluid loss does not remain in the pressurized system.

In order to keep the movable system horizontal and to allow rotation about the shaft, the system has a static tank which receives the downward pressure of the fluid in the centrifugal direction. It is verified that the cover receives forces according to the directions of rotation which are allowed and which are the vertical and upward direction of rotation of the cover about the shaft, for which the generator requires a counterweight system resting directly on the cover to counteract this vertical force and keep rotation horizontal, and reducing the bending and shearing moments which deform the system.

To complement the description provided herein, and for the purpose of helping to make the features of the invention more readily understandable, said description is accompanied by a set of drawings constituting an integral part of the same, which by way of illustration and not limitation represents the following:.

In the preferred embodiment thereof, the pressure-based dynamic generator will be made with a tank (<NUM>) the inner face of which is straight and flat, and the side inner faces of which are cylindrical. Only an upper ring or holding ring (<NUM>) surrounding the cover is removable, therefore these surfaces must be flat, favoring its constructive simplicity. The cylindrical inner part of the movable cover (<NUM>) will be kept solid, in the part that coincides with the shaft (<NUM>), with this shaft (<NUM>) being prolonged from the contact with the tank (<NUM>) to the outer outlet thereof, with the rotation element that can be coupled above the counterweight (<NUM>). The sealed chambers (<NUM>) will be cavities in the cover (<NUM>) itself, separated from one another by the ribs (<NUM>), and will be solid in its outer part, since it will have a solid cylindrical element (<NUM>) in the outermost contact with the tank (<NUM>), according to the spoke, such that contact is generated in the horizontal parts with the tank (<NUM>), both in its upper and lower parts, as well as in the outer part. The upper ring (<NUM>) of the tank (<NUM>), which is removable and will have a geometry that coincides with the solid element (<NUM>) of the cover (<NUM>), will be arranged on the solid outer element (<NUM>) of the mobile cover (<NUM>). For retaining the cover (<NUM>) in the horizontal plane.

The fill conduits (<NUM>) of the chambers (<NUM>) are holes arranged in the solid element (<NUM>) of the cover (<NUM>) to introduce liquid into the chambers without disassembling the system and will be covered with a specific threaded screw (<NUM>) to maintain sealing, on which the holding ring (<NUM>) will exert a clamping force since it is located on the closing screw (<NUM>) of the fill conduit. The sealing system will be made internally with a sealing gasket (<NUM>) for sealing the fluid with respect to the outside that will be made such that it is internally embedded in the cover (<NUM>) itself, elaborated with adaptable ring-shaped rubber and contained in the cover (<NUM>) itself. The sealing system for sealing the fluid with respect to the outside will be made in the solid part of the cover (<NUM>), elaborated with adaptable rubber, in the horizontal part of the solid element. A rubber gasket will be placed on the flat lower part (<NUM>) of the solid element of the cover by way of a belt, alternating the metal and rubber contacts, and a flat gasket will also be placed between the cover and the ring (<NUM>) with a ring shape, right below the holding ring (<NUM>) of the cover.

In the cover (<NUM>), the groove (<NUM>) is elaborated in the form of a circular sector, leaving the inner faces of the groove (<NUM>) in contact with the compressor (<NUM>) vertically. The compressor (<NUM>) is a movable part that fits into the groove (<NUM>) of the cover (<NUM>), in its lower part the part tapers off as it moves down, such that each point coincides with the spoke of the cylinder that adapts to the development of the rotation shaft. This decreasing cross section goes from zero at its lowest point, increasing to its widest point where it coincides with the width of the base groove (<NUM>). When reaching this height, the width of the groove (<NUM>) is maintained throughout the entire thickness thereof. A band corresponding to the rubber sealing gasket (<NUM>) is found in this thickness. It separates two bands of the metal of the compressor (<NUM>) itself from one another.

The width of the compressor (<NUM>) will be prolonged until overcoming the counterweight support (<NUM>), above this height, it joins forming a single part with the weight support (<NUM>), this support (<NUM>) will be a flat plate with the flat upper part except for the weight coupling notches (<NUM>). The weights (<NUM>) have coupling flanges (<NUM>) on the lower part thereof fitting in the upper part thereof with the coupling notches (<NUM>), these will be longitudinal in the direction of the spokes of the cylinder of development about the shaft (<NUM>). The weight support (<NUM>) will be in the form of a washer with the flat upper part except for the coupling notches (<NUM>) for coupling the weights to one another.

The counterweight system (<NUM>) rests directly on the cover (<NUM>), avoiding the area of the groove (<NUM>) and the rib of the cover (<NUM>), therefore the counterweight lower part or support (<NUM>) is flatly supported with the cover. These feet or supports (<NUM>) are attached to the annular-shaped rod (<NUM>) and is arranged inside the weight support (<NUM>) and the weight (<NUM>) itself, without causing friction, until it overcomes them and joins the counterweight support (<NUM>). The counterweight rod (<NUM>) is hollow and the shaft (<NUM>) of the cover (<NUM>) moves through same. The shaft (<NUM>) of the cover (<NUM>) is integral therewith, vertical, and passes through the weight (<NUM>), its support system (<NUM>), as well as the counterweight (<NUM>), without brushing against any of them.

The weights (<NUM>) are placed on the support (<NUM>) by an external hydraulic loading and unloading mechanism. The weights (<NUM>) which do not rest directly on the support (<NUM>) are held aloft without transmitting the weight (<NUM>) to the compressor (<NUM>) held by weight guides (<NUM>), keeping them in their position of not exerting pressure on the liquid. When a weight is released, an external loading and unloading system helps it to move down to its working position where it rests on the lower weights that are working on the weight support (<NUM>), at that point the weights are coupled to one another by means of the coupling notches (<NUM>) of the weight which are radial cavities of the weights which, by having a flat cylindrical shape, require these coupling notches (<NUM>) so as to rest on one another. By having in its lower part projections (<NUM>) in the direction of the spoke of the shaft which fit into the upper notches (<NUM>) of the other ones, they prevent the movement of some weights (<NUM>) on the others with the movement. Having several coupleable weights (<NUM>) means that the system can work in various pressure conditions.

The weights (<NUM>) have a hollow interior due to their annular shape, since the counterweight rod (<NUM>) and the actual shaft (<NUM>) of the cover (<NUM>) pass through them. The weights (<NUM>) which do not exert pressure on the fluid must be supported by an external system formed by a foot (<NUM>) that holds posts (<NUM>) which are joined together and on which guides (<NUM>) holding the weight (<NUM>) are mounted, transmitting it as pressure to the supporting posts (<NUM>). This structure retains the weight until each of the through washers is released on the lateral compressor (<NUM>).

The counterweight (<NUM>) has a support and loading mechanism similar to that of the weight (<NUM>).

Claim 1:
A device which transforms a vertical weight into pressure on a liquid contained such that it is sealed between a fixed part or static tank (<NUM>) and a movable part or movable cover (<NUM>), whereby the pressure is transmitted using a lateral compressor (<NUM>) entering each of a plurality of liquid-filled, sealed chambers (<NUM>) into which a pressurized liquid-filled space with <NUM> degrees of revolution about a main shaft (<NUM>) is divided and whereby a coupling between the static tank (<NUM>) and the movable cover (<NUM>) is a complete surface of revolution about the main shaft (<NUM>), the chambers (<NUM>) are hollow spaces taking up the entire hollow space between the cover (<NUM>) and the tank, and vertical ribs of the cover (<NUM>) which separate the chambers (<NUM>) of the cover from one another demarcate the chambers vertically, and against which the lateral compressor (<NUM>) slides vertically on the face thereof opposite the direction of advancement, such that the lateral compressor rests solely and exclusively on the pressurized liquid (<NUM>) transmitting thereto the entire weight it receives by means of an inclined surface of revolution, having zero width at the lower point thereof and a width equal to the width of a groove (<NUM>) in the upper part of the respective chamber (<NUM>), generating an unbalanced pressure on the face of the rib of the cover (<NUM>) opposite the advancement of the movable cover (<NUM>), whereby the unbalanced pressure generates an angular movement of an assembly consisting of the movable cover (<NUM>), the lateral compressor (<NUM>), weights (<NUM>), counterweights (<NUM>) and the main shaft, thereby generating a drive torque in the main shaft (<NUM>).
