<p>This apparatus provides perpetual motion in virtually any medium without the need of fuel, or expensive parts. Two rings-one 'Earth ring' within, and one 'sun ring' without-surround a set of engaging inter-wheels. The rings may be comprised of chain, in which case the inter-wheels are sprockets; or may be geared, in which case the inter-wheels are spur gears. Where a hubbed earth wheel is used instead of an earth ring, that wheel is fixed to the support frame via an earth shaft. Also, at least one of the inter-wheels is fixed to a support frame via its/their respective shaft/s. (In which case ancillary support wheels must be used to keep the rings aligned.) At least one further inter-wheel, called a moon wheel, is connected from its shaft to the center earth shaft via direct connect arms, or to star shafts via an 'arms and cradles' linkage system. The moon shaft/s also carry/ies very large 'orbiter' wheels that have orbiter walls fixed to their perimeters and are facing toward the middle and each other. A pair of comet wheels is fixed, one wheel at each end, to a comet shaft. The comet shaft is most distal from the center shaft, and from the moon shaft, such that the comet wheels it carries are touching the most distant reach of the inner comet walls. The comet shaft is connected directly to the fixed center shaft via 'center legs'; or is linked to two fixed star shafts via a 'star legs and cradle' system. When the legs of the comet shaft are forced one way or the other, the comet wheels press against the orbiter walls and cause it to rotate, always at a constant distance from the center of the machine; and the other moon wheels must follow. The fixed-place star wheels serve as immediate feedback regulators, owing to the presence of the earth and sun rings, thereby keeping the moon elements in place. Power may be drawn from either/any of the fixed-place star shafts through means of sprocket chain, belting, etc. as the resulting drag on the system is constant on both the earth and sun rings. Where there is a direct linkage from moon shaft and comet shaft to the center shaft a configuration is called TYPE I. Where the moon shaft and comet shaft are connected to fixed star shafts via arms/legs and cradles, such configurations are classed TYPE II. A third type, TYPE III, occurs where a hybrid motor is formed using direct arms and linked legs, or direct legs and linked arms. The use of the Type II design allows there to be a void within the machine, owing to the presence of suspension arms on each side of the motor, to swing "cradles" carrying moon shafts and comet shafts according to the direction of exerted force. This walk-through, or 'woom' feature may be useful within a vehicle's fuselage, hull or shell. The cycling continues 'perpetually', until force is removed from the comet leg levers.</p> |
