APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING ROCKING MOTION TO ROTATION Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: machine engineering, possibly contact-free converters of different type motions one to another. SUBSTANCE: apparatus provides single-sign rotation due to alternating action of magnetic interaction forces and gravity forces. Apparatus includes driving link in the form of rod joined with oscillation generator and driven link. Permanent magnet is secured to end of rod. Driven link is in the form of flat rectilinear horizontal pipes rigidly secured to horizontal rotary axle. Pipes are partially filled with liquid and they have ferromagnetic washers on their ends. Rod is freely mounted by its second end on horizontal axle with possibility of relative motion and it is joined by its mean portion with mechanical oscillator. EFFECT: improved design, enhanced efficiency and reliability, enlarged functional possibilities. 3 dwg
