20150300325 | Device for the study of self-contained inertial vehicular propulsion - A novel device for the study of self-contained timely sequential vehicular inertial thrust drive is presented, comprising a tandem mechanical frequency modulated oscillator using the combined effort of straight line and rotational inertial reluctance contained in the mass of flywheels. The flywheels are having straight line parallel axial orientation, opposite freewheeling rotation and opposite alternate cyclic free flowing non-uniform reciprocal motion in union with vehicular travel by means of a straight line to rotational-coupled motion. The straight line to rotational-coupled motion accomplishes the cyclic realignment of the flywheel motion to combine the straight line and rotational motion into one timely gradient vector sum motivating thrust drive. The free flowing straight line and rotational inertial reluctance of the flywheel mass is used as the motivating drive kinetic energy by timely non-uniform mutual reciprocal separation against the device mass and the freewheeling rotational inertial reluctance of the flywheel's mass moment is used to absorb rotational mutually reciprocal contrary rotational kinetic energy. An integral motor-generators rotor contained within each flywheel accumulates rotational kinetic energy subsequently used for the propulsion of the device and is used to obtain the frequency modulation and non-uniform motions. The motor-generator with attached rotational-to-reciprocating transmission is directing the accumulated kinetic energy non-uniformly mutually reciprocally into the device in direction of vehicular travel and into the free flowing straight line and rotational flywheel mass. The cyclic sum of all mutual and reciprocal actions is a closed loop cycle with two self-contained superior centripetal inertial thrust drives. | 10-22-2015 |
20150345477 | Directional Motive Force Generation Device - A motive force generation device for generating a net resultant propulsive force vector through reactionless drive means. The device includes a reactionless drive that rotates one or more masses about an axis, decreases the radius about the axis without causing external torque on the system therefore increasing the energy level of the mass, continues to rotate mass at the higher energy level, then increases the radius about the axis to its original distance. The work required to rotate mass at a higher energy state is greater than the work to rotate mass at the original state, causing an unbalanced system resulting in the net propulsive force. | 12-03-2015 |
20150345478 | Propulsion System - A device that produces linear motion by sequentially and in a continuous sequence accelerating inertial thrust masses at well-defined times towards the axis of counter-rotating disks. The inertial thrust masses are contained in cavities placed equidistantly about the periphery of counter rotating capture disks mounted on a common axle. They are radially accelerated by a bi-directional impulse ramps that can be moved to any position around the periphery of the counter rotating capture plates and into and out of the paths of the gyrating thrust masses to any desired depth within the mechanical range of the impulse ramps which simultaneously engage and radially accelerate the inertial thrust masses of each counter-rotating capture plate. The counter-rotating capture plates are each separately driven by a gear assembly powered by an external engine or motor that powers the rotation of the disks. Each radial acceleration of the inertial thrust masses produces an impulse of force that pushes against the mass accelerator with a force equal to the force used to radially accelerate each thrust mass. Each impulse is a vector force and imparts motion along the chosen vector to any object to which the device is attached. | 12-03-2015 |
20090188346 | Reciprocating impulse drive - Electric reciprocating impulse engine converts rotary motion into linear motion at a frequency high enough to overcome inertia and propel said engine with load. The present invention loses substantial weight while running without losing mass and could drive a satellite already in orbit or beyond and propel a spacecraft between the planets with five-times the efficiency of conventional propulsion systems. Each of the two carriages below the control platform of the apparatus hold a pair of elongated eccentric rotors that counter-rotate forcing said carriages to bounce up and down on rigid spring-loaded rods at a precise distance with equal force in opposite directions on the common mainframe. The two carriages can be phased 180 degrees apart with thrust determined by the rotor's mass and velocity, the latter which can be finely controlled by varying the voltage to the rotor drive motors. Unlike prior art, when this apparatus's shifters are engaged the increased axial displacement and combined frequency of the two carriages in oscillation generate rapid impulses within the mainframe to overcome its inertia and smoothly impel said apparatus vertically away from gravity or along a linear path in free space. | 07-30-2009 |
