Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerospace thrusters and gyroscope precession mechanics, and in particular to a precession difference engine. Background Art

[0002] Rocket engines consume fuel, and the limited fuel of rockets will eventually run out when traveling in space. In order to travel freely in space without worrying about fuel issues, using the difference between the precession direction of the flywheel and the rotation direction of the outer frame to generate thrust is a better way to replace rockets. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a precession difference engine, which generates precession through high-speed rotation of a base (11), a connecting rod (8) and a flywheel (2), and a difference is generated between the precession direction of the flywheel (2) and the rotation direction of the outer frame (5), thereby generating thrust, so that the thruster body (15) pushes the spacecraft to continue flying in the universe.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A precession difference engine, characterized in that: the precession difference engine comprises a thruster body (15) which is stationary in a vacuum weightless state, the thruster body (15) has four gyroscope cabins (1) inside, a main motor (13) is installed inside the thruster body (15), the output shaft of the main motor (13) extends into the gyroscope cabin (1) and is connected to an outer frame (5), an outer conductive slip ring (12) is installed on the output shaft of the main motor (13), an inner frame drive motor (3) and an inner frame (6) are installed on the outer frame (5), the inner frame drive motor (3) and the inner frame (6) are connected together, and a middle conductive slip ring (12) is installed on the output shaft of the inner frame drive motor (3). An electric slip ring (4), a base drive motor (9) is mounted on the inner frame (6), an inner conductive slip ring (10) is mounted on the output shaft of the base drive motor (9), a base (11) is mounted in the middle of the output shaft of the base drive motor (9), a plurality of connecting rods (8) are mounted on the base (11), a flywheel motor (7) is mounted at the end of the connecting rod (8), a flywheel (2) is mounted on the outer side of the flywheel motor (7), and the wire (14) passes through the outer conductive slip ring (12), the middle conductive slip ring (4) and the inner conductive slip ring (10) to provide power supply and transmit control signals to the main motor (13), the inner frame drive motor (3), the base drive motor (9) and the flywheel motor (7).

[0006] In order to make the direction of deformation of the connecting rod (8) due to precession different from the rotation direction of the outer frame (5), the connecting rod (8) is made of elastic material so that when the connecting rod (8) is driven by the base (11) to rotate at high speed, it can be deformed upward due to the precession of the flywheel (2).

[0007] In order to change the rotational planes of the connecting rod (8) and the base (11) and the precession direction of the flywheel (2), the inner frame (6) is driven to rotate by the inner frame driving motor (3).

[0008] In order to increase the precession torque and make the precession torque continuous, a plurality of connecting rods (8) and flywheels (2) are arranged on the base (11).

[0009] In order to make the rotation direction of the outer frame (5) different from the precession direction of the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (2), the outer frame (5) is driven to rotate by the main motor (13).

[0010] In order to increase thrust and maintain balance to prevent rotation caused by thrust asymmetry, a plurality of gyroscope cabins (1) are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the propeller body (15).

[0011] In order to ensure that the position where the precession direction of the flywheel (2) and the rotation direction of the outer frame (5) differ is always on the same side, the rotation speeds of the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) are the same.

[0012] In order to reduce the running resistance of the flywheel (2), the connecting rod (8), the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) when they rotate, the interior of the gyroscope cabin (1) is a vacuum environment.

[0013] In order to achieve the steering of the propeller body (15) and change the direction of movement, the rotation speed of the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) is adjusted to produce a rotation speed difference, so that the position where the precession direction of the flywheel (2) and the rotation direction of the outer frame (5) differ from each other is changed, thereby changing the direction of the thrust.

[0014] In order to generate thrust and push the propeller body (15) to accelerate, inside the gyroscope cabin (1), when the outer frame (5) drives the base (11) and the flywheel (2) to rotate, the precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (11) is the same as the rotation direction of the outer frame (5), and the two forces with the same direction are superimposed on each other, and the precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (11) is opposite to the rotation direction of the outer frame (5), and the two forces with opposite directions cancel each other out. When the outer frame (5) drives the base (11) and the flywheel (2) to rotate, the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (11) requires a greater force than the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (11), so that the reaction force obtained on the right side of the base (11) is greater than the reaction force obtained on the left side of the base (11), and the two reaction forces with opposite directions cancel each other out to generate a new resultant force, and the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the thrust.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that there is no need to consume fuel, and the base (11), the connecting rod (8), the flywheel (2), the outer frame (5), and the inner frame (6) continuously generate differences, and finally generate thrust, so that the thruster body (15) can push the spacecraft to continue flying in the universe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The specific implementation of the precession difference engine is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The specific implementation and process of the precession difference engine of the present invention are presented:

[0025] Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are multiple gyro cabins (1) inside the propeller body (15). Since the thrust generated by a single gyro cabin (1) and the center of gravity of the propeller body (15) are not on the same straight line, arranging multiple gyro cabins (1) is conducive to increasing thrust and maintaining balance. By adjusting the direction and magnitude of the thrust of one or more gyro cabins (1), the propeller body (15) can be turned and the direction of movement can be changed.

[0026] Figure 3 and Figure 2, powered by the wire (14), the flywheel motor (7) drives the flywheel (2) to rotate at high speed, and the base drive motor (9) drives the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (2) to rotate at high speed through the base (11). At this time, the flywheel (2) drives the connecting rod (8) to deform and bend upward due to the precession of the gyroscope ( Figure 3 , arrow above the flywheel), the main motor (13) drives the outer frame (5) to rotate, at this time Figure 3 The precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the left side of the middle base (11) is the same as the rotation direction of the outer frame (5), and the two forces with the same direction are superimposed on each other. The precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (11) is opposite to the rotation direction of the outer frame (5), and the two forces with opposite directions cancel each other out. When the outer frame (5) drives the base (11) and the flywheel (2) to rotate, the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (11) requires a greater force than the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (11), so that the reaction force obtained on the right side of the base (11) is greater than the reaction force obtained on the left side of the base (11). The two reaction forces with opposite directions cancel each other out to generate a new resultant force, and the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the thrust, and finally a new thrust is generated to drive the propeller body (15) to accelerate the movement.

[0027] Figure 3 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) have the same rotation speed. When the outer frame (5) drives the base (11) and the flywheel (2) to rotate 180 degrees, Figure 3 The precession direction of the middle flywheel (2) should be changed to downward precession, but because the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) have the same rotation speed, the inner frame (6) also drives the base (11) and the flywheel (2) to rotate 180 degrees, and the precession direction of the flywheel (2) is still upward precession, so the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) will generate two thrusts per rotation ( Figure 5 When the inner frame (6) drives the base (11) and the flywheel (2) to rotate, the direction of the precession of the flywheel (2) will change, and the resultant force of the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (11) and the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (11) and the outer frame (5) will also change, thereby changing the magnitude of the thrust. Therefore, the directions of the two thrusts generated by the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) every rotation are not fixed, and the magnitude of the thrusts is also not fixed. When there is only one gyroscope cabin (1), the thrust generated will cause the base (11) to advance twice in an arc ( Figure 5 Left side), when multiple gyro cabins (1) are arranged symmetrically, the thrust generated will cause the base (11) to move forward twice in a straight line ( Figure 5 on the right).

[0028] Figure 4 The base (11) drives the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (2) to rotate at high speed ( Figure 4), so that the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (11) and the flywheel (2) on the left side simultaneously move upward ( Figure 4 In the figure, the vertical upward white arrow), at this time, the rotation direction of the outer frame (5) is ( Figure 4 The gray arrow in the figure has the same precession direction as the flywheel (2) on the left. The two forces with the same direction are superimposed on each other, and the rotation direction of the outer frame (5) ( Figure 4 The gray arrow in the figure is opposite to the precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the right side. The two forces in opposite directions cancel each other out, so the forces required for the outer frame (5) to drive the flywheels (2) on the left and right sides of the base (11) to rotate are different in magnitude.

[0029] The process and conclusion of the present invention are as follows: the flywheel motor (7) drives the flywheel (2) to rotate at high speed by supplying power through the wire (14); the base drive motor (9) drives the connecting rod (8) and the flywheel (2) to rotate at high speed through the base (11); the flywheel (2) drives the connecting rod (8) to deform and bend upward due to the precession of the gyroscope; then the main motor (13) drives the outer frame (5) to rotate; at this time Figure 3 The precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the left side of the middle base (11) is the same as the rotation direction of the outer frame (5), and the two forces of the same direction are superimposed on each other. The precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (11) is opposite to the rotation direction of the outer frame (5), and the two forces of opposite directions cancel each other out. The flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (11) requires a greater force than the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (11), so that the reaction force obtained on the right side of the base (11) is greater than the reaction force obtained on the left side of the base (11). The two reaction forces of opposite directions cancel each other out to generate a new resultant force. The direction of the resultant force is the direction of the thrust, and finally a new thrust is generated. The rotation speed of the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) is the same. When the outer frame (5) drives the base (11) and the flywheel (2) to rotate 180 degrees, Figure 3 The precession direction of the middle flywheel (2) should be changed to downward precession, but because the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) have the same rotation speed, the inner frame (6) also drives the base (11) and the flywheel (2) to rotate 180 degrees, and the precession direction of the flywheel (2) is still upward precession, so the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6) will generate two thrusts per rotation, thereby using the thruster body (15) to push the spacecraft to continue flying in the universe.

[0030] When the flight direction and steering of the spacecraft need to be adjusted, the thrust direction and magnitude of the thrust of one or more gyroscope cabins (1) are adjusted, so that the thruster body (15) can be steered and the movement direction can be changed.

[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
