ENERGY CONVERTER Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: gravitational power engineering. SUBSTANCE: converter has two power units installed in phase opposition, each provided with vertical rod-like weight coupled with loading gear and two balancing disks carrying counterpoise assembly in the form of tension gear and lever secured to one of disks. One arm of lever is coupled with tension gear via flexible connection. Resulting on other arm is spring-loaded pusher tip. Interaction between weight and balancing mechanisms neutralizes pressure of right-hand part of loading gear on parts not coupled with it. Rod-like weight mass is fully balanced out by pressure of left-hand part of loading gear. With mass of rod-like weight in one power unit neutralized, road-like weight of other power unit disconnected from balancing mechanism falls down. Bulk of kinetic energy of falling rod-like weight is used for effective work. EFFECT: improved efficiency. 5 dwg
