ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transmitting torque to a load includes a pair of pulleys vertically spaced apart by a great distance for movably mounting a long endless belt in a substantially vertical disposition to move it freely in a closed loop path, a plurality of spaced-apart arm devices connected to and extending from the belt, and a plurality of weights adapted to be carried by the arm devices. The weights and the arm devices are arranged in pairs, and each one of the pairs provides a larger moment acting through the belt on at least one of the pulleys when falling vertically downwardly under the force of gravity and alternately provides a relatively smaller opposing moment acting through the belt on at least one of the pulleys when being pulled vertically upwardly by the belt, whereby torque may be transmitted from at least one of the pulleys for driving the load.
