A passive mass supported on gimbals, or in a container or on a platform so supported, is thus stable relative to a rolling or pitching vehicle such as a ship. The use of chains and ratchets, or of a gear-wheel, can convert and transform to propulsive rotation the energy latent between the static weight and moving vehicle, to augment the power of the main engines and thus save fuel, and provide both propulsion in the case of main-engine failure and a clean alternative means of propulsion and power when fossil fuels are no longer available. his patent application is for simple and appropriate method by which to convert this energy of inevitable movement to force of propulsive use to the vessel or vehicle and provide clean means of propulsion as an alternative 15 to excessive combustion of polluting fossil fuels. |
