Patent ID: 6928977

Claim:
A means rotationally separating an engine from accessories to allow counter-rotational output including a) A stationary spindle rigidly fixed at one end containing within the mass of the spindle a plurality of hydraulic ducts and electrical conductors open at both ends of the spindle, open at the fixed end leading to the stationary accessories and, open at the free end, to a mountable, journaled surface concentric to the central axis of the engine, and which cooperate with electrical conductors and hydraulic ducts within the crankshaft and or block, b) a rotating torque producing engine block including an output shaft counter-rotatingly mounted to a free end of the stationary spindle allowing shaft and housing to counter-rotate about the central axis of the spindle, c) A rotatably mounted gerotor style hydraulic pump/motor wherein 1) the output shaft of the pump/motor is concentrically fixed to the output shaft of the motor, 2) the pump/motor housing concentrically fixed to the housing of the engine, 3) a free surface of the pump/motor housing journaled concentric to the motor output shaft, rotatably received by a mating surface of the spindle, and aligned with ducts leading from the spindle surface to the suction and high pressure ports of the Gerotor pump/motor functionally aligned to the suction/high pressure ducts of the hydraulic ducts of the spindle, d) A pair of cooperating crankshaft/block position sensors including; a rotating electro magnetic coil and a counter-rotating, cooperating magnet.
