Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerospace thrusters and gyroscope precession mechanics, in particular to a hemispherical thruster. 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 hemispherical thruster, which generates precession through high-speed rotation of a base (8) and a flywheel (2), and the direction of the precession of the flywheel (2) differs from the direction of rotation of an outer frame (5), thereby generating thrust, so that the thruster body (11) 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 hemispherical thruster, characterized in that: the hemispherical thruster comprises a thruster body (11) which is stationary in a vacuum weightless state, the thruster body (11) has four gyroscope cabins (1) inside, a main motor (13) is installed inside the thruster body (11), 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 the output of the inner frame drive motor (3) A middle conductive slip ring (4) is mounted on the shaft, 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 (8) is mounted in the middle of the output shaft of the base drive motor (9), two flywheel motors (7) are mounted on the base (8), a hemispherical 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 increase the volume of the flywheel (2) as much as possible, two flywheel motors (7) and a hemispherical flywheel (2) are symmetrically arranged on the base (8).
[0007] 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.
[0008] In order to achieve the steering of the propeller body (11) and change the direction of movement, a speed difference is generated by adjusting the speeds of the outer frame (5) and the inner frame (6), so that the position where the precession direction of the flywheel (2) and the rotation direction of the outer frame (5) differ is changed, thereby changing the direction of the thrust.
[0009] In order to generate thrust and drive the propeller body (11) to accelerate, inside the gyroscope cabin (1), when the outer frame (5) drives the base (8) and the flywheel (2) to rotate, the precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (8) 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 (8) 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 (8) and the flywheel (2) to rotate, the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (8) requires a greater force than the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (8), so that the reaction force obtained on the right side of the base (8) is greater than the reaction force obtained on the left side of the base (8), 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.
[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that there is no need to consume fuel, and the base (8), the flywheel (2), the outer frame (5), and the inner frame (6) continuously generate differences, and finally generate thrust, so that the propeller body (11) can push the spacecraft to continue flying in the universe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The specific implementation of the hemispherical thruster is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The specific implementation method and process of the hemispherical propeller of the present invention are presented:
[0021] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A plurality of gyroscope chambers (1) are arranged inside the propeller body (11). Since the thrust generated by a single gyroscope chamber (1) and the center of gravity of the propeller body (11) are not on the same straight line, arranging a plurality of gyroscope chambers (1) is conducive to increasing the thrust and maintaining balance. By adjusting the direction and magnitude of the thrust of one or more gyroscope chambers (1), the propeller body (11) can be turned and the direction of movement can be changed.
[0022] 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 flywheel motor (7) and the flywheel (2) to rotate at high speed through the base (8). At this time, the flywheel (2) should precess 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 (8) 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 (8) 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 (8) and the flywheel (2) to rotate, the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (8) requires a greater force than the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (8), so that the reaction force obtained on the right side of the base (8) is greater than the reaction force obtained on the left side of the base (8). 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 (11) to accelerate the movement.
[0023] 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 (8) 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 (8) 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 (8) 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 (8) and the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (8) 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 (8) 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 (8) to move forward twice in a straight line ( Figure 5 on the right).
[0024] Figure 4 and Figure 6 The base (8) drives the flywheel motor (7) and the flywheel (2) to rotate at high speed ( Figure 4 ), so that the flywheel (2) on the right side of the base (8) 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. The two forces in opposite directions cancel each other out. Therefore, the force required for the outer frame (5) to drive the flywheel (2) on the left and right sides of the base (8) to rotate is different, which will cause Figure 6 The center point of the middle base (8) produces an arc displacement ( Figure 6 gray curved arrow in the middle of the base).
[0025] 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 flywheel motor (7) and the flywheel (2) to rotate at high speed through the base (8); the flywheel (2) will precess upward due to the precession of the gyroscope; then the main motor (13) drives the outer frame (5) to rotate; at this time Figure 3The precession direction of the flywheel (2) on the left side of the middle base (8) 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 (8) 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 (8) requires a greater force than the flywheel (2) on the left side of the base (8), so that the reaction force obtained on the right side of the base (8) is greater than the reaction force obtained on the left side of the base (8). 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 (8) 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 (8) 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 (11) to push the spacecraft to continue flying in the universe.
[0026] 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 compartments (1) are adjusted, so that the thruster body (11) can be steered and the movement direction can be changed.
[0027] 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.
