ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for amplifying, torque and transmitting power using a novel wedge hinge assembly. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, four wedge hinge assemblies cooperating with a specially configured crankshaft and a pair of circular plates, enable the transmission of energy primarily based upon naturally occurring gravitational forces. Each wedge hinge assembly consists of an arm having a weight at its remote end, and is adapted to be pivotally attached at its other end to the crankshaft. In addition, operating as a fulcrum, this weight arm is also pivotally attached to its corresponding wedge hinge, disposed between the two opposite ends of the arm.
