DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a device for utilizing drive torques and opposed torques of rotary or linear motors, which are attached to the circumference of flywheels, with the co-operation of the weight or of centrifugal force.
2. Brief Description of the Background of the Invention Including Prior Art
All types of drive units, for example electric motors, internal combustion engines, hydraulic motors, aerostatic engines etc. operate in such a way that the drive torque transmitted on the shaft transmits the power to the operating device directly through the clutch. In the case of stationary devices, the opposed torque is absorbed in the foundations into which the device is built. In the case of mobile devices, the opposed torque is balanced by the weight of the mobile device. In all these devices, the power of the drive units is transmitted directly to the operating machine. In special cases, no more approximate solution was found than the solutions according to the Czechoslovakian Patents Nos. 122423, 139446, 139751 and AO 160382. These however do not relate to the field of our invention. Further foreign documents WO 85/04139 and DE 2947369/A1, which solve the problem of power application to the drive system from a slightly different standpoint, or which derive the drive power directly, are no hindrance to our solution. The disadvantage of present drive units is that they utilize only the drive torque with the associated rotational speed. Among the further disadvantages are high fuel consumption, its ecological harmfulness, its low efficiency, etc.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
1. Purposes of the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a kinetic energy multiplier with driving unit being able to increase the degree of efficiency of rotary devices, such as electric motors, internal combustion engines, hydraulic motors, aerostatic engines.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become evident from the description which follows.
2. Brief Description of the Invention
The multiplier of kinetic energy with drive unit (FIG. 6) is formed by a flywheel secured to the shaft 3 of the operating machine.
Attached to the circumference of the flywheel are drive units 2 (FIGS. 5, 6), which include rotatable (FIG. 1). These are really rotary engines, their driving and opposed torques which, in co-operation with one another, form both types of torque, change: the driving and also the opposed into a uniform absolute torque, which fulfils the conditions for a free vector; a torque of a power couple, which can be displaced or increased at will in the plane. The power-couple torque formed by the drive unit 2 is transmitted to the multiplier of kinetic energy, the flywheel 1, by means of the brake 11 (FIG. 1). This ensures the staged turning-on of the flywheel 1 1, which accumulates a considerable amount of kinetic energy. At increased rotational speed we begin to take off the power formed. The type and method explained enables us considerably to increase the degree of efficiency of rotatable devices 66 (FIG. 1).
The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
