Abstract
Description
Closed space propulsion and transportation device
[0001] The present invention relates to a device that can generate thrust within a closed space and move the closed space relative to the outside world.
[0002] Helicopters, airplanes, rockets, ships, etc. move by scattering air, combustion materials, propellants such as water, and noise. To move through space under their own power, according to the law of action and reaction, one object must have something to kick the other when moving away, and something to attract when moving closer. The material on the other reaction side (the kicking or attracting object) must be thrown out to generate thrust.
[0003] To move freely in a space, a counter-acting agent, or propellant, must be released and discarded in the opposite direction of the propulsion. A search of patent information yields no hits, and even in the real world, I have never seen or heard of a device that obtains propulsion by releasing and discarding a counter-acting agent in a closed space.
[0004] Although it is possible to recover reaction materials and prevent noise within a closed space, thrust cannot be generated toward the outside world.
[0005] This device uses an acting object and a reacting object arranged in a Y-shape, and generates an acceleration force by applying the momentum (kinetic energy) of one of the acting and reacting objects (reactant 1) to two subsequent second reacting objects, like the balls in a toy Newton's Cradle or a billiard cue. This generates a force of acceleration, transferring the momentum and kinetic energy to the two subsequent second reacting objects. This second reacting object is then moved diagonally in a figure-eight pattern, and the subsequent second reacting object is shifted from the straight line. The vertical component of the force component obtained by subtracting the acceleration from the backing plate is different from the vertical component of the force obtained by subtracting the acceleration from the other acting object, and the difference is used to generate a propulsive force. The second reacting object is bent outward and shifted by the orientation of an object such as a pipe, rail, or wrapped object, or by the repulsive force of a hammer, air, or magnetism. To bend it inward, the orientation of an object or the attractive force of a hammer, air, or magnetism is used to move it closer. The timing of the impact of the action, reaction object 1, and second reaction object is determined by striking them against a stopper, holding their position by inertia, and moving them at a speed that allows them to wait for the next impact. Alternatively, the position can be maintained by magnetic force from an electromagnet or permanent magnet, or by mechanical force such as clamping, and awaiting the next impact. In the case of a Newton's Cradle ball, the opposing ball can be moved and maintained in its position. To generate continuous thrust, the second reaction object is accelerated in the opposite direction from where it was stopped, using a launching device, and then struck against the reaction object held in a straight line, generating a combined force. The second reaction object maintains its position, accelerating and moving the reaction object. At the stopped position, the launching device accelerates it in the opposite direction, striking the second reaction object held in a straight line, and returning to its original position. Like ping-pong balls in table tennis, by synchronizing and exchanging the timing described above and repeating this process, continuous thrust can be generated. Alternatively, a reaction object may be locked as a single mass so that it can be divided into two, and the mass may be unlocked mid-transit, and the return force of a compression spring or the like installed inside may be used to split the mass and displace it from the straight line. One end of a compression spring, which is an example of an injection device, may be fixed to a base, eliminating the reaction object, and the other end may be used to hit the reaction object with the return force of the compression spring, like a billiard cue. Alternatively, one end of a tension spring may be fixed to a base, and the other end may be used to hit the reaction object with the return force of the tension spring, like a hammer.In this case, the hammer that strikes the reaction object m2 at the other end can be light in weight.If this device moves at a constant speed, like inside a constant-speed train, the acceleration is 0 (zero), so the action and reaction object of this device are not affected by external forces.
[0006] At least five of these devices can be arranged in three dimensions on horizontal and vertical planes, with the direction of the thrust of each device facing outward, and by varying and combining the thrust, they can move freely in all directions. The magnitude of the overall thrust can also be changed by changing the orientation of the device. For ground movement, three devices can be installed on a horizontal plane. For use on railway rails such as those used by trains, two devices can be installed on the horizontal planes for forward and reverse movement. If the entire device is enclosed in a soundproof, sealed container like a submarine, it can move noiselessly and without causing external contamination, making it environmentally friendly. Since the magnitude of momentum and kinetic energy is proportional to mass and speed, the magnitude of the thrust can be changed by changing the mass and speed of the action and reaction objects.
[0007] This is a diagram showing the law of action and reaction. A disk that breaks the law of action and reaction, and the action of a hammer. A pipe that moves two acting objects diagonally in two hands, a wrapped object that shows the movement of an action and reaction object. This shows the function of a spring pressure. This shows the stacking of disks, a stopper, and disk retention. This device is installed three-dimensionally to change the direction of the device and the magnitude of the thrust.
[0008] It uses inexpensive, general-purpose parts, has a minimal number of parts, and has a simple structure, making it easy to operate.
[0009] Figure 1 shows the action of forces when plates 2 and 3 are set on a wheeled cart 1, and an action object m1 and a reaction object m2 are kicked against the plates by, for example, the returning force of a compression spring 4, causing the action object m1 and the reaction object m2 to move in opposite directions and hit the plates 2 and 3. According to the law of action and reaction, the action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude and in opposite directions, and the center of gravity of the cart 1 does not move (linear action and reaction A). If action object m1 or reaction object m2 is connected to the cart 1 and rotated, the cart will rotate in the opposite direction, but the center of gravity of the cart 1 will not move (rotational action and reaction B). Furthermore, if there is a time difference between the action m1 and reaction m2 hitting the backing plates 2 and 3, the cart 1 will vibrate, but the center of gravity will not move (amplitude action and reaction C). The total mass of the cart 1 excluding the reaction mass can be considered the mass of the action m1, and action m1 can be eliminated, with one end 5 of the compression spring 4 fixed to the cart 1 and the other end hitting reaction mass m2. One end 6 of the tension spring can also be fixed to the cart 1 and the other end hitting reaction mass m2; the effect will be the same. ...Circled number 1.
[0010] Linear action and reaction A The resultant thrust of each set of elements ac and bd is 0 (zero), so no matter how many sets are combined and arranged, the elements are zero, so the total is also zero and no thrust is generated...circled number 2.
[0011] Figure 2 shows two second reaction objects m3 and m4 (located in the middle of the Y-shape) held in place, with one reaction object m2 acting as a component force, and linear action and reaction A causing m3 and m4 to move diagonally. The resultant reaction forces of m3 and m4 are equal to the action force of m2. As m3 and m4 move diagonally, they collide with backing plate 3 (the top end of the Y-shape), generating forces f3 and f4, which generate perpendicular component forces f3-1 and f4-1, and horizontal components f3-2 and f4-2. Because f3 and f4 are a portion of the energy of reaction object m2, they are smaller than the energy of reaction object m2. On the other hand, action object m1 collides perpendicularly with backing plate 2 (the bottom end of the Y-shape) with linear action and reaction A, generating only the perpendicular component force f1. The right-angle components of the forces, f3-1 and f4-1, are smaller than f3 and f4, and their resultant force is different from f1, generating a thrust of f1 - ((f3-1) + (f4-1)). The horizontal component forces, f3-2 and f4-2, are the same magnitude but directed in opposite directions, so they cancel each other out (the first thrust). Next, the force of the force acting on m3 and m4 (the upper ends of the Y) is moved in opposite directions, striking the reaction force m2 (the middle of the Y), generating a force on the force acting on m1 and the backing plate (the lower end of the Y). This force combines with the force of the reaction forces m3 and m4, which are moving away from the upper end of the Y, to generate a thrust (the second thrust). One half of the narrow angle branching off in the middle of the Y is an angle greater than 0 degrees but less than 90 degrees. This is because the force of force acting on m2 cancels out at 0 degrees, and the right-angle component disappears at 90 degrees. If the direction of m3 and m4 is tapered as shown in circle number 3 in Figure 4, one half of the narrow angle will be an angle exceeding 0 degrees and less than -90 degrees. By repeating this, you can obtain continuous propulsion. You can also use something like a railroad rail to receive the reaction force that kicks sideways in the direction of travel of one of the reaction objects m3 or m4, and eliminate m4 or m3, and make it a single pair of m3 or m4...circle number 1
[0012] One reaction object m2 is locked as a single mass so that it can be divided into two pieces, and the mass is unlocked while moving. For example, the compression spring 4 installed inside the mass splits the mass with its returning force, kicking m2-1 and m2-2 apart and shifting them from the straight line.
[0013] The parallel moving reaction objects m3 and m4 are displaced from a straight line to a divergent direction by hitting them with the hammer 9-1 of the injection device set between m3 and m4, compressed air, the repulsive force of a magnet, or the block 9-2. If the hitting direction is reversed, the trajectory of the movement of m3 and m4 can be narrowed...circled number 3
[0014] In Figure 3, reaction mass m2 is placed on disk 10, m3 on disk 11, and m4 on disk 12, and thrust is obtained by rotational action and reaction B. The shapes of m2, m3, and m4 can be square or cube. As the disk 10 rotates, the reaction mass m2 attached to it hits the objects m3 and m4, and m3 and m4 move along the arcs of the disks 11 and 12 under the influence of centrifugal force, deviating from a straight line. The rotation of the disks 10, 11, and 12 is stopped by the stopper 9-3. The rotation range of the objects m3 and m4 is an angle from 0 to 90 degrees where the vertical components f3-1 and f4-1 of the forces f3 and f4 are positive... Circle number 1 represents the shape of the hammer 9-1, with a triangular side, and the pair of reaction masses m3 and m4 are struck so that they diverge at the ends... Circle number 2. The hammers 9-1 are attached to both ends, and the hammers are used to move them diagonally up and down, toward the narrowing end... Circle number 3
[0015] Figure 4 shows the case where one or two reaction bodies are moved diagonally.
[0016] Figure 5 shows a continuous generation of thrust. The force generating element m1 has been omitted. The reaction elements m2, m3, and m4 are driven by drive sources p-1, p-2, and p-3 of the piston injection device, such as electromagnet plungers, linear motors, and air pressure, which strike the reaction element m2 or the second reaction element m3 or m4 at the end of the piston or shaft. The reaction elements m3 and m4 move along a moving device 14, such as a rail, pipe, or a wound object, and stop at one end of the moving device (the top end of the Y-shape). The drive sources p-2 and p-3 of the injection device are turned on by the installed stopper switches s3-3 and s3-4, and the force of the drive sources p-2 and p-3 is turned on by the moving device, which returns the moving device and strikes element m2 (the middle of the Y-shape). At almost the same time, m3 and m4 are attracted and held in place by switches s4-3 and s4-4 installed on the stopper and the associated electromagnets. Alternatively, like the toy Newton's Cradle, m3 and m4 are held in place by inertia. Alternatively, m3 and m4 are clamped and mechanically held in place by the force of a spring. Almost simultaneously, switch s5 installed on the stopper is turned off by the movement of m3 and m4, allowing m2, which had been held in place, to move freely. m2 stops at one end of the moving device (the bottom end of the Y-shape), and switch s6 on the installed stopper turns on the driving source p-1 of the injection device. Switch s6 is turned off at the separated m2, and this force causes the moving device to return (to the middle of the Y-shape). Almost simultaneously, when m3 and m4 are struck, switch s5 installed on the stopper is turned on, holding m2 in place by the force of an electromagnet or spring, or by inertia. At roughly the same time, switches s4-3 and s4-4 installed on the stopper are turned off by moving m2, or the spring force that was holding them is released, freeing m3 and m4 to move to the other end of the moving device (the top of the Y-shape). Then, switches s3-3 and s3-4 on the stopper are turned on, and the drive sources p-2 and p-3 of the injection device are turned on. As m3 and m4 move away, s3-3 and s3-4 are turned off, and they move toward the center of the Y-shape by inertia, repeating this cycle. By ensuring that the distance between the action and reaction forces allows for a Newton's cradle-like interaction, the operation in the middle of the Y-shape can be performed without switches or mechanical springs, simplifying and miniaturizing the device. In the case of pipes, the inner diameter should be slightly larger than the outer diameter to ensure consistent movement of m1, m2, m3, and m4. Pipes and rails can be straight or curved.The switch should be an A contact that turns on when pressure is applied and turns off when pressure is removed...circled number 1.
[0017] The pipe is replaced with a chain, belt, or other winding transmission, and both ends are attached to sprockets, pulleys, or the like, which rotate to move m2, m3, and m4. The shapes of m2, m3, and m4 can be any cube, including cubic. The following explanation assumes an electric motor as the driving source. Reaction mass m2 is attached to a belt or chain-wrapped transmission device 15 driven by a driving source p2 such as an electric motor, and m2 strikes second reaction masses m3 and m4 at an angle. Reaction masses m3 and m4 are moved by the moving device and stop at one end of the moving device (the top end of the Y-shape). The installed stopper switches s4 and s5 activate the driving sources p3 and p4 of the injection device, which then return the moving device to the other end (the middle of the Y-shape) using this force. Almost simultaneously with striking m2, the stopper switches s3 and s4 are activated, and m3 and m4 are held in place using electromagnets or other devices. At almost the same time, switch s2 installed on the stopper is turned off, allowing m2, which was being held, to move freely. m2 stops at one end of the moving device (the bottom end of the Y-shape), and switch s1 on the installed stopper turns on the drive source p2 of the injection device. The force of m2 moving away turns off switch s1, and it returns to the other end of the moving device (the middle of the Y-shape). Almost simultaneously, as m3 and m4 are struck, switch s2 installed on the stopper is turned on, using an electromagnet or other device to hold m2 in place. At almost the same time, switches s3 and s4 installed on the stopper are turned off, allowing m3 and m4, which were being held, to move to one end (the top end of the Y-shape) using moving device 15, and stopper switches s4 and s5 are turned on. This cycle is repeated. Alternatively, p3 and p4, which are facing in opposite directions, can be combined into a single p5, with one side crossed. An advantage is that since it uses a chain or belt as a winding transmission, even if it stops in a blind spot during movement, the motor can be operated to move and return. Also, as shown below, reaction objects m2, m3, and m4 are held in the middle of the Y by permanent magnet force, spring force, inertial force, etc. To release, m2, m3, and m4 are pulled away from them.
[0018] In Figure 6, a straight or curved rail 16 is inserted into the through holes of m2, m3, and m4 and moved by a drive source e. The rail is replaced with a screw (especially a ball screw), m2, m3, and m4 are connected and fixed to the nut, and the bolt is turned...circled number 1. m2, m3, and m4 are mechanically pressed by an elastic body 17 such as a spring to hold them in place...circled number 2.
[0019] Figure 7 shows three disks stacked in a nearly straight line. The working objects m2, m3, and m4 are mounted on disks 18, 19, and 20, which rotate using an electric motor drive source e2, and move in an arc. The second reaction objects m3 and m4 mounted on disks 19 and 20 are struck by a hammer 21 attached to the end of a connecting rod connected to disk 18. The shapes of m2, m3, and m4 can be cubic or any other shape. Reaction objects m3 and m4 move along with disks 19 and 20, stopping at one end of disks 19 and 20 when a stopper switch s3 is installed, turning on the drive source e3 for the injection device. The force causes them to rotate in the opposite direction along with the disks and return to the other end, striking m2. Almost simultaneously, disk 18 returns, and switch s4 installed on the stopper is turned on, turning on the drive source e2 for the injection device, rotating the returning disk 18 and striking m3 and m4. The above cycle is repeated. The advantage is that even if the disk stops in a blind spot during rotation, the motor can be operated to move and return it... Circled number 1. Two sets of switches 1s and 2s are installed on one side or both sides of the stopper... Circled number 2. In one embodiment of the switch and stopper, the moving reaction object m3 pushes push rod 40 to turn on switch 41, which activates device 42 that generates magnetic force, holding m3 in place. At the same time, switch 43 is turned off, stopping the operation of magnetic device 44, releasing m2 and allowing m2 to move. m2 then turns on switch 45 installed on the backing plate at the other end, and the drive source returns. The moving reaction object m2 pushes push rod 40 to turn on switch 43, which activates magnetic device 44 and holds m2 in place. At the same time, switch 41 is turned off, stopping the operation of magnetic device 42, releasing m3 and allowing m3 to move. m3 then turns on switch 46 installed on the backing plate at the other end, and the drive source returns. The above process is repeated. ...Circle number 3 This is a device that controls the movement of the disks using magnetic force, with drive source e2 rotating disk 18 and causing m2 to hit m3 and m4 of disks 19 and 20 to move, then turning off switch s4 of the stopper installed for that disk, turning off magnetic holding devices 50-2 and 50-3 that hold disks 19 and 20 in place, then hitting switch s3 and turning it on to rotate the disks in the reverse direction with drive source e3. The reverse-rotating disk hits m2 and stops, and at the same time switch s4 turns on and turns on magnetic holding devices 50-2 and 50-3 to hold disks 19 and 20.When the disk 18 has moved and returned, switch s5 is turned on, the disk is returned by drive source e2, m3 and m4 are struck, and at the same time switch s6 is turned on, turning on magnetic holding device 50-1 to hold the disk 18, and the above process is repeated...circled number 4.
[0020] Figure 8 shows a combination of these devices that can be moved freely. At least five of these devices (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) are fixed in place in a three-dimensional configuration with their thrust facing outwards, and by changing the thrust of each device, they can be moved in all directions...circled number 1. At least units 1, 2, and 3 of these devices are rotated 360 degrees in the horizontal and vertical planes using motors 25 and 26, allowing them to move in all directions...circled number 2. One way to change the thrust is to connect both ends of a screw 29 to the mounting bases 27 and 28 of m3 and m4, and turn the screws cut in opposite directions with a handle or something to change the narrow angle θ. The narrow angle can also be changed by connecting both ends of an extendable cylinder 30 or the like to the bases 27 and 28 and extending it...circled number 3.
