Abstract

A device for providing self-sustaining means of power containing two circular sets of magnets, an outer stationary set (4) encasing an inner rotational set (10). They are aligned so that their repulsive forces cause the rotation of the inner member, which in turn runs the generator (2). The electricity generated is then used to create a greater repulsive force between the magnets (10, 4), the central armature then spins faster, generating more electricity, and the process repeats itself and provides a self-sustaining means of power for such things as propulsion. Power is delivered through a central member to the machine in question.

Description

SELF-SUSTAINING POWER SUPPLYING DEVICE

Background of the Invention

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates generally to a device which can supply unlimited amounts of energy by a means in which the device can sustain itself without outside help or

refueling.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Machines and motors currently in use utilize some sort of fuel, such as gas or electricity, to operate. Many times the machine produces pollution which, in large amounts, can cause adverse effects on the climate. Airplanes with propellers, cars, helicopters, and boats, use motors which produce pollution and consuime large amounts of fuel, too. Also, submarines, even those nuclear powered, eventually need to be refueled. This invention eliminates these problems by providing a clean, self-sustaining means of energy.

New developments in high-strength magnets have proved very successful in development of light-weight electric motors. A Denver based company, Unique Mobility, has succeeded in

producing small, high-strength, high-output motors, using neodymium permanent magnets, and General Motors has launched a new plant manufacturing its Magneguench magnetic material.

These advances are substantially beneficial to a self- sustaining device which when developed in various sizes,

can accommodate the power needs of numerous conveyances

and machines. Brief Description of the Drawings

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional drawing showing the placement of magnets in relation to each other to cause the rotation of the central member.

FIG. 2 is a view showing an embodiment of the 'Self- Sustaining Power Supplying Device' indicating the position of the generator.

Description of the Preferred Embodiments

Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional drawing of a casing 2 used as the support structure for the outer set of permanent magnets 4, the inner rotating member 6, and the compact armature

windings 12. The casing is circular in shape with covers at both ends that possess center holes for the central member 6 to extend through, thus the container for the device.

As mentioned before, the invention relies on the repulsive force of magnets to operate, so the two sets of permanent magnets 4 and 10, need to be alined for maximum repulsion.

Thus, the side on the outer set of permanent magnets 4 which is farthest from the outer casing 2 and closest to the central member 6, has the same polarity as the side on the inner set of permanent magnets 10 which is farthest from the central member 6 and closest to the outer set of magnets 4.

The number of magnets in each circular set or the ones progressing longitudinally is not to be restricted, since the invention is a power supplying device, the number and size of magnets may be altered to provide the appropiate energy needs for a given situation.

The extremely thin armature windings 12, or solenoids, are located inbetween the permanent magnets of the outer set 4.

The close spacing of the windings to the outer and inner sets of permanent magnets 4 and 10 means the repulsive force is maximized. Also, the slender windings contribute to the

dissipation of heat. The various sets of armature windings are connected in parallel so the voltage drop is the same for each.

Both sets of magnets 4 and 10, and the armature windings 12 can be attached to their respective portions by either

adhesives which can be any type or by a more advantageous means. Referring to FIG. 2, an embodiment of the invention showing longitudinally the placement of items comprising the main design of the system. It is apparent the generator 2 is placed in-line with the central member 10 for the reason of its operation

As the central member 10 spins, it runs the generator 2 which could be of the AC wire loop rotary type. In this type of generator, one or more loops of wire are rotated to cut through the flux lines of a magnetic field to produce a current. This allows less weight to be rotated by the two sets of magnets, therefore, the speed of the central member 10 increases.

After the electricity is produced by generator 2, it can then be converted to DC power by rectifier 3.

The electricity can then be transferred to a step-up transformer 6 which increases the voltage for an increase in speed of the central member 10 and a boost in power delivery. Also, this is where the amount of electricity to the armature

windings can be controlled through any means from the responses of any throttle type device.

In one variation of the invention the electricity produced by generator 2 is left as AC power for a decrease in weight of the invention which would be beneficial to mobile vehicles.

Also the transformer 6 can be dropped, if the generator 2 would have a high output, so as to help in a decrease of weight and size.

The bearings 12 at each end of the casing 4, and encompassing the central member 10, can be of any type. But it should be stated that they ought to offer the least resistance possible to the rotating central member 10 for maximum efficiency.

When the invention is running, it would sometimes be best to have a clutch type device attached to the central member 10 on the opposite side of where the generator is located so as to deliver the power at the desired time.

Also the invention is cost efficient to builder and buyer since most, if not all, of the invention uses off-the-shelf parts.

The above description shall not be construed as limiting the ways in which this invention may be practiced but shall be inclusive of many other variations that do not depart from the broad interest and intent of the invention. Summary of the Invention

The invention relates to a device to provide power via a central rotating member by self-sustaining means. It comprises a means for the generation of power by the repulsive force of magnets which utilizes energy it previously generated to create more power.

It is an object of the invention to provide a unlimited amounts of power which is clean and inexpensive.

An equally important purpose is to save money and time by eliminating the refueling process which will help to reduce travel times for vehicles. Also, it will save money for the individual for an increase of personal income which can then be put back into the economy through a more beneficial way.

Another purpose is to provide the military with a quieter, more reliable, and simpler device to power their helicopters, boats, vehicles, and especially their remotely piloted aircraft which need to be ever more stealth-like for longer periods of time.

An additional purpose is to provide a greater safety margin for propeller-type planes which cannot afford to stay in a holding pattern for a great duration of time.

Another purpose is to provide a reliable device of propulsion for boats to avoid the problems involved when stranded, such as the ability of some unexperienced people to react unreasonably in panic situations which may result in injury to all persons involved.

A final purpose is to provide a device whereby the attachment of various machines, requiring a rotating structure for

operation, such as pumps, generators, toy motors, fans,

etc..., to the device via an extension of the center member can supply the power needs of the machine.
