One object of the present invention is to avoid loss of energy during deceleration of a vehicle. Another object is to decelerate an aircraft after its landing and to utilize the energy of said deceleration to taxi that aircraft or for its immediate take-off. This invention can be incorporated in a wheel within which a plurality of energy collectors, or spheres (8'), can be housed circumferentially and be so connected as to spin, each about its own axis (20), and to accelerate under the impact of centrifugal force (60) produced by the rotation of said wheel. Each sphere (8') can include two hemispherical chambers (21) that form that sphere. The hemispherical chambers (21) can spin faster than the column of fluid that parallels centrifugal force (60) which acts on that column of fluid in an outward direction along line (22''). The accelerated speed of hemispherical chambers (21) is the product of centrifugal force (60) impacting on the corresponding fluid in the respective hemispherical chamber (21), because their line (22'') becomes perpendicular to centrifugal force (60). The higher speed of hemispherical chambers (21), than that of the column of fluid in each sphere (8'), could force some fluid from each column of fluid to exit from the outward aperture (22) and the same amount of fluid to enter the inward aperture (22). This fluid movement can take place through the connecting tunnels (22') and through the spaces around each hemispherical chamber (21). The Energy Wheel has, therefore, clear advantage over other devices that recover energy for immediate use because it can be of light weight and can maintain the necessary storage capacity with a few components simply combined. |
