Description

Gyroscopic precession thrusters Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerospace propulsion systems, and in particular to a gyroscopic precession propulsion system. Background Art

[0002] Rocket engines consume fuel, and the limited fuel a rocket needs to navigate space will eventually run out. The stability and precession of a gyroscope can counteract gravity. By adjusting the angle between the fulcrum and the axis of rotation, the direction of the gyroscope's force, and the direction of the flywheel's rotation, the direction of the gyroscope's precession can be adjusted, causing the displacement of an object to vary in magnitude, thus enabling space travel without fuel. Based on this concept, the present invention creates a gyroscopic precession thruster that can navigate in the vacuum of space without requiring fuel.

[0003] Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gyroscopic precession thruster, which circulates through a U-shaped connecting rod and a gyroscope in a circular cavity. During the movement, the angle between the rotation axis of the gyroscope module and the U-shaped connecting rod, the force direction of the gyroscope, and the direction of rotation of the flywheel are adjusted, thereby adjusting the direction of the gyroscope precession, causing the displacement of the thruster body to differ in size, and the thruster body can be used to propel the spacecraft to continue flying in the universe.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A gyroscopic precession thruster, characterized in that: the gyroscopic precession thruster comprises a thruster body (1) which is stationary in a vacuum weightless state; the thruster body (1) has two circular cavities (2) inside; the circular cavities (2) are divided into a right stage (7), a lower stage (8), a left stage (9), and an upper stage (10), a total of four stages forming a cycle; a U-shaped connecting rod (3) is provided inside the circular cavity (2); a rotating disk drive motor (4) and a gyroscope rotating disk (5) are installed at the end of the U-shaped connecting rod (3); the rotating disk drive motor (4) is connected to the gyroscope rotating disk (5) through a gear; the gyroscope rotating disk (5) is divided into an axial stage (11), a lower adjustment stage (12), a parallel stage (13), and an upper adjustment stage (14), a total of four stages forming a cycle; the gyroscope rotating disk (5) is equipped with multiple sets of gyroscope modules (1 9) and a motor module (16), wherein the motor module (16) is connected to a gyroscope bracket (18) of a gyroscope module (19) through a gear, wherein the gyroscope module (19) is composed of a gyroscope bracket (18), a flywheel motor (17) and a flywheel (15), wherein the flywheel motor (17) is mounted on the gyroscope bracket (18), and flywheels (15) are mounted at both ends of the output shaft of the flywheel motor (17), and a main motor (6) is mounted at the rear of the propeller body (1), and conductive slip rings (20) are mounted on the output shafts of the main motor (6), the rotating disk drive motor (4) and the motor module (16), and the end of the output shaft of the main motor (6) is connected to a U-shaped connecting rod (3), and the wire (21) passes through the conductive slip ring (20) and is connected to the rotating disk drive motor (4), the motor module (16) and the flywheel motor (17) to provide them with power and transmit control signals.

[0007] In order to eliminate air resistance and offset torque, the circular cavity (2) is in a vacuum state, and the U-shaped connecting rods (3) in the two circular cavities (2) rotate in opposite directions.

[0008] In order to facilitate the propeller body (1) to move upward a large distance in the right stage (7), the gyroscope rotating disk (5) rotates at a high speed to cause the gyroscope module (19) to precess upward in the axial stage (11) of the right stage (7). The direction of precession is opposite to the direction of movement of the U-shaped connecting rod (3). At this time, when the U-shaped connecting rod (3) moves from top to bottom, a large force is required to overcome the precession of the gyroscope, thereby generating a large upward reaction force on the propeller body (1).

[0009] In order to facilitate the propeller body (1) to move downward a small distance in the left stage (9), the gyroscope rotating disk (5) rotates at a high speed to cause the gyroscope module (19) to precess upward in the axial stage (11) of the left stage (9). The direction of precession is the same as the direction of movement of the U-shaped connecting rod (3). At this time, when the U-shaped connecting rod (3) moves from bottom to top, a smaller force is required to overcome the precession of the gyroscope, thereby generating a smaller downward reaction force on the propeller body (1).

[0010] In order to generate a greater precession force, the gyroscope rotating disk (5) is equipped with multiple sets of gyroscope modules (19). The multiple sets of gyroscope modules (19) on the high-speed rotating gyroscope rotating disk (5) can generate a greater precession force.

[0011] In order to realize the steering of the propeller body (1), there are four stages in total, namely the axial stage (11), the lower adjustment stage (12), the parallel stage (13), and the upper adjustment stage (14). By adjusting the proportion of the parallel stage (13) and the axial stage (11), the displacement distance on one side can be adjusted to realize the steering of the propeller body (1).

[0012] In order to change the moving direction and steering of the propeller body (1), the axial stage (11) can be positioned at the right stage (7), the lower stage (8), the left stage (9), and the upper stage (10) to adjust the thrust direction and steering of the propeller body (1).

[0013] In order to facilitate the conversion of the flywheel (15) between clockwise and counterclockwise, the motor module (16) is an integrated module consisting of a motor and a reducer, which is used to adjust the rotation direction of the flywheel (15) in the gyroscope module (19) and rotate the flywheel (15) 180 degrees.

[0014] In order to cause the propeller body (1) to be displaced, the U-shaped connecting rod (3) and the gyroscope rotating disk (5) are combined to act as an eccentric wheel.

[0015] In order to drive the U-shaped connecting rod (3) to move upward or downward, the high-speed rotation of the gyroscope rotating disk (5) can cause the gyroscope module (19) to generate an upward or downward precession in the axial stage (11).

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is: the present invention provides another method and idea different from the rocket engine. Through the circulation movement of the U-shaped connecting rod and the gyroscope rotating disk in the circular cavity, the direction of the gyroscope module is adjusted during the movement, so that the displacement of the thruster body has differences in size, so that the thruster body can push the spacecraft to continue flying in the universe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The specific implementation of the gyro precession thruster will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 show the specific implementation and process of the gyro precession thruster of the present invention:

[0030] In Figure 1, gyroscopes A and B are placed on a common fulcrum. Gyroscope B, on the left, has its fulcrum on the rotating surface. At this point, gyroscope stability fails, and gyroscope B, affected by gravity, will immediately fall. On the right, gyroscope A's rotation axis and fulcrum are aligned. At this point, gyroscope stability and precession take effect, overcoming gravity and preventing the fall. To cause gyroscopes A and B to fall simultaneously, the downward forces required are different.

[0031] Figure 2 shows that there is a certain angle between the fulcrum of gyroscope C and the rotation axis of gyroscope C. At this time, gyroscope C will not fall. Like gyroscope A, gyroscope C has the stability and precession of a gyroscope.

[0032] Figure 3 shows that when gyroscope A rotates clockwise, it is affected by the downward force of gravity F1 and precesses to the left in the direction of F2. When a force is applied to the left to accelerate the rotation in the direction of F2, gyroscope A precesses upward in the direction of F3. However, when gyroscope A rotates counterclockwise, it is affected by the downward force of gravity F1 and precesses to the right in the direction of F4. When a force is applied to the right to accelerate the rotation in the direction of F4, gyroscope A precesses upward in the direction of F3. The direction of gyroscope A's precession can be changed by adjusting its rotation direction and the direction of the applied force.

[0033] FIG4 shows that the combination of the U-shaped connecting rod (3) and the gyroscope rotating disk (5) in the two circular cavities (2) acts as an eccentric wheel, which can cause the propeller body (1) to move up and down.

[0034] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, when the U-shaped connecting rod (3) and the gyroscope rotating disk (5) run to the axial stage (11) of the right stage (7), there is a certain angle between the rotation axis of the flywheel (15) in the gyroscope module (19) and the U-shaped connecting rod (3), which is the same as the gyroscope C in Figure 2. At this time, the stability and precession of the gyroscope still work. While the gyroscope rotates clockwise, it moves along the direction of F2 along with the gyroscope rotating disk (5), generating a precession in the upward direction of F3. The direction of precession is exactly opposite to the direction of movement of the U-shaped connecting rod (3). At this time, when the U-shaped connecting rod (3) moves from top to bottom, a large force is required to overcome the precession of the gyroscope, thereby generating a large upward reaction force on the propeller body (1), causing the propeller body (1) to move upward a large distance in the right stage (7).

[0035] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, when the U-shaped connecting rod (3) and the gyroscope rotating disk (5) move to the axial stage (11) of the left stage (9), the stability and precession of the gyroscope come into play. At this time, the gyroscope rotates counterclockwise while moving along the direction of F4 along with the gyroscope rotating disk (5), generating a precession in the upward direction of F3. The direction of the precession is the same as the direction of movement of the U-shaped connecting rod (3). At this time, when the U-shaped connecting rod (3) moves from bottom to top, only a small force is required to overcome the stability of the gyroscope, thereby generating a small downward reaction force on the propeller body (1), causing the propeller body (1) to move downward a small distance in the left stage (9).

[0036] 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, in combination with these five figures, the distance of the propeller body (1) moving upward is greater than the distance of the propeller body (1) moving downward, so that the propeller body (1) moves upward.

[0037] The process and conclusion of the present invention are as follows: the two main motors (6) of the propeller body (1) drive the U-shaped connecting rods (3) in the two circular cavities (2) to rotate in opposite directions; the rotating disk drive motor (4) drives the gyroscope rotating disk (5) to rotate at high speed; the motor module (16) drives the gyroscope module (19) to rotate and adjust the direction of the gyroscope; and the flywheel motor (17) drives the flywheel (15) to rotate at high speed. In Figure 4, the combination of the U-shaped connecting rods (3) in the two circular cavities (2) and the gyroscope rotating disk (5) acts as an eccentric wheel, causing the propeller body (1) to produce an up and down displacement. When the U-shaped connecting rod (3) and the gyroscope rotating disk (5) run to the axial stage (11) of the right stage (7), as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the stability of the gyroscope takes effect and precesses upward. At this time, when the U-shaped connecting rod (3) moves from top to bottom, a large force is required to overcome the precession of the gyroscope, thereby generating a large upward reaction force on the propeller body (1), causing the propeller body (1) to move upward a large distance in the right stage (7). When the U-shaped connecting rod (3) and the gyroscope rotating disk (5) run to the axial stage (11) of the left stage (9), as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the stability of the gyroscope takes effect and precesses upward. At this time, when the U-shaped connecting rod (3) moves from bottom to top, only a small force is required to overcome the stability of the gyroscope, thereby generating a small downward reaction force on the propeller body (1), causing the propeller body (1) to move downward a small distance in the left stage (9). 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 , the distance of the propeller body (1) moving upward is greater than the distance of the propeller body (1) moving downward, so that the propeller body (1) moves upward.

[0038] When the direction of motion and steering of the propeller body (1) need to be adjusted, in conjunction with Figures 4 and 5, all the gyroscope modules (19) on the gyroscope rotating disk (5) in the left circular cavity (2) are adjusted to the parallel stage (13). At this time, the left side does not produce upward displacement, and the right side produces it normally, so the propeller body (1) will turn left. In conjunction with Figures 4, 5, and 7, the propeller body (1) moves upward because the axial stage (11) appears in the right stage (7) and the left stage (9). By adjusting the position where the axial stage (11) of the two gyroscope rotating disks (5) appears, the direction of displacement of the propeller body (1) can be adjusted. By adjusting the position where the axial stage (11) of one of the gyroscope rotating disks (5) appears, the propeller body (1) can be turned.

[0039] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those 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 scope of protection of the present invention.
