Generation of energy utilising rotation of earth - motion of gyroscope mounting drives electric generator

摘要

The rotor (S) of the gyroscope (G) is mounted on a spindle with axis (XX) which is aligned on a circumpolar star (C). The spindle bearings are mounted in the gimbals (S') and (S") which permit movement about the axis (YY). The gimbal (S") is attached to the gear wheel (CD)and mounted on the support (K) so that the axis (ZZ) is inclined at an angle equal to the geographical latitude. Because the axis (XX) of the gyroscope (G) maintains a fixed direction relative to the star (C) the gear wheel (CD) rotates relative to the earth an is used to drive the pinion (P). The pinion (P) drives the generator (A) which supplies energy to the element (U).
