ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled vehicle includes a body and a set of four internal-force generating devices, in the form of radial piston engines. Each device has a central axis about which some internal portions rotate. The four devices are configured in two opposed pairs, the two devices of one pair having parallel axes but turning in opposite directions, the two devices of the other pair also having parallel axes but turning in opposite directions. The axes of one pair are at right angles to the axes of the other pair. Each device provides an eccentric orbit for each of three pistons about a central axis the piston cylinders being defined by a rotor which rotates uniformly about that axis. As a result, the angular momentum and resulting centrifugal effect generated within each cylinder at its furthest displacement from the axis is significantly greater than the angular momentum and centrifugal effect when it is at its closest approach. The difference in these two effects is utilized to generate lift.
