Description

[0001] Description

[0002] Title of Invention: An Environmental-Independent Propulsion Device

[0003] [1] The present disclosure application claims priority from Iran Patent Registration No. 1400250140003008249, filed on 24 February 2024, entitled “Device for Applying Force on Objects Independently of the Environment”, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

[0004] Technical Field

[0005] [2] The present invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering, specifically to propulsion systems that utilize centripetal force to apply thrust independently of any external environment. More particularly, it focuses on mechanisms for converting rotational motion into oscillatory movement, enabling the generation of propulsive force without relying on surrounding media such as air or water. The present invention can be applied in various industries, including aerospace, marine engineering, and transportation systems, where traditional propulsion methods face limitations due to environmental dependencies.

[0006] Background Art

[0007] [3] Conventional propulsion systems, such as jet engines, airplane propellers, and ship propellers, rely heavily on their interaction with the surrounding environment (air or water) to generate thrust. These systems function by exerting force on the medium — pushing air backward or displacing water — to propel the vehicle forward. While effective, this dependency imposes several limitations, including reduced efficiency in environments lacking a dense medium (e.g., outer space), high operational costs due to complex designs and fuel consumption, environmental constraints that affect performance, such as atmospheric pressure or water resistance and noise pollution caused by large moving parts interacting with the environment.

[0008] [4] For example, airplanes must push air backward to move forward, and ships require the displacement of water for propulsion. Rockets rely on expelling highspeed gases, which limits their fuel efficiency and range.

[0009] [5] Several inventions have attempted to overcome these challenges: [6] GB2491937B discloses a thermal oscillating engine that uses temperature differences between sealed chambers to create oscillatory motion. However, this design depends on external heat sources and complex fluid control systems, limiting its versatility.

[0010] [7] US2011073386A1 presents a climbing robot using a pendulum motion to navigate surfaces. While effective for climbing, its reliance on external surfaces for movement limits its application in open environments.

[0011] [8] US11278951 B2 describes a pendulum-based transport system for industrial press lines, which uses coordinated robotic arms for material transfer. However, it remains constrained to fixed industrial settings and does not address the need for independent propulsion.

[0012] [9] Despite these advancements, existing technologies continue to rely on external media or environmental factors, limiting their efficiency, flexibility, and potential applications.

[0013]

[0010] The present invention addresses these limitations by offering a propulsion system that functions independently of the surrounding environment, using centripetal force to generate thrust. This design enables applications in areas where traditional propulsion methods fail, such as space travel or airless environments, while also improving efficiency and reducing operational complexity.

[0014]

[0011] This technology allows for the development of flying cars that retain all the advantages of modern automobiles — compact size, power, load capacity, electric propulsion instead of fuel, and silent operation — while enabling unrestricted movement in the sky and space.

[0015]

[0012] Vehicles utilizing this disclosure could travel through the upper layers of the atmosphere and space, making it possible to reach any point on Earth in short times.

[0016]

[0013] Furthermore, spacecraft and interplanetary vehicles designed with this technology would drastically shorten travel times between celestial bodies. By eliminating reliance on conventional propulsion methods, these vehicles could enable rapid and efficient space travel, making long-duration missions significantly more feasible.

[0014] Unlike traditional flying machines aircraft utilizing this disclosure generate no wind or noise pollution, as they operate without large external moving parts, making them significantly more efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0076] Description of Embodiments

[0077]

[0039] In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth by way of examples in order to provide a thorough understanding of the relevant teachings. However, it should be apparent that the present teachings may be practiced without such details. In other instances, well-known processes, procedures, components, and / or circuitry have been described at a relatively high-level, without detail, in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present teachings. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present disclosure is defined only by the appended claims.

[0078]

[0040] The following detailed description is presented to enable a person skilled in the art to make and use the processes and devices disclosed in exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. For purposes of explanation, specific nomenclature is set forth provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that these specific details are not required to practice the disclosed exemplary embodiments. Descriptions of specific exemplary embodiments are provided only as representative examples. Various modifications to the exemplary implementations will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other implementations and applications without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the implementations shown, but is to be accorded the widest possible scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0079]

[0041] The present disclosure describes an exemplary environment-independent propulsion device comprising an oscillating section and a fixed section. The at least one oscillating section comprises an axial rod connected to an arm connected to at least one balance weight, and a stabilizing part, and a stabilizing part positioned within a stabilizing hole to control the deviation of the at least one oscillating section. The fixed section comprises a motor and a means of power transmission that transfers torque from the motor to the axial rod, initiating oscillatory motion and generating centripetal force.

[0080]

[0042] Some benefits of using the exemplary environment-independent propulsion device, as described in the present disclosure, compared to conventional propulsion systems, may include, but are not limited to operation independent of external media (such as air or water), enhanced energy efficiency, stable and continuous thrust generation, simplified mechanical structure, seduced operational costs and maintenance, adaptability to various environments, including aerospace, marine, and terrestrial applications, lower noise emission due to the absence of large external moving parts, extended operational range without reliance on environmental factors.

[0081]

[0043] Conventional propulsion systems typically rely on rigid structural components made from high-strength materials such as steel, aluminum, titanium, or stainless steel. These systems depend on external environmental interaction — such as pushing against air or water — to generate thrust, which inherently limits their efficiency and adaptability in diverse environments. Additionally, these traditional systems often involve complex mechanical assemblies, leading to increased energy consumption, higher maintenance demands, and limited operational versatility.

[0082]

[0044] In contrast, the exemplary environment-independent propulsion device described in the present disclosure leverages the principles of centripetal force to produce thrust without requiring interaction with external media. By focusing on the intrinsic properties of circular motion — where the direction of force remains constant toward the center regardless of the path and where force magnitude is independent of displacement — the exemplary environment-independent propulsion device can generate continuous and stable thrust. This approach eliminates the environmental constraints faced by conventional systems and enables operation in airless or frictionless environments, such as outer space. In other words, the exemplary environment-independent propulsion device offers a viable alternative to conventional propulsion systems by utilizing centripetal force for thrust generation, allowing for broader application in challenging environments and providing improved efficiency and sustainability.

[0083]

[0045] The design of the exemplary environment-independent propulsion device incorporates key features that enable effective force concentration and controlled oscillation. The use of a stabilizer part in conjunction with a stabilizer hole ensures that at least one oscillating section oscillates within a defined angular range, thereby maintaining force direction and operational stability through the rotation and controlled deviation of at least one counterweight.

[0084]

[0046] Additionally, in one or more exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure describes an exemplary symmetrical environment-independent propulsion device designed to optimize force balance and enhance thrust efficiency. The exemplary symmetrical environment-independent propulsion device features a symmetrical structure where oscillating components are mirrored on either side of the central axis, ensuring that opposing forces neutralize each other, while the generated thrust is amplified in the desired direction. The symmetrical design offers several key advantages, including but not limited to enhanced stability during operation by reducing vibrations and structural imbalances, increased thrust efficiency through balanced oscillatory motions, minimized energy loss caused by opposing forces, leading to higher energy efficiency, greater durability due to reduced mechanical stress on critical components versatility in various environments, from aerospace to marine applications, where stable and continuous thrust is essential. In other words, the symmetrical environment-independent propulsion device delivers consistent performance, reduced maintenance requirements, and optimized force dynamics, making it a powerful alternative to conventional propulsion systems.

[0085]

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, aspects and features of the environmentindependent propulsion device and the symmetrical environment-independent propulsion device will be described in greater detail below. The operational principles, material selection, and potential industrial applications — including aerospace, marine, and terrestrial transportation — will also be outlined, highlighting the device’s capability to serve as a viable alternative to conventional propulsion systems.

[0048] AN ENVIRONMENT-INDEPENDENT DEVICE

[0086]

[0049] In present disclosure, the core principle lies in leveraging two simple yet fundamental characteristics of circular motion and the properties of centripetal force to enable the concentration of centripetal force at a single point. These key principles are as follows:

[0087]

[0050] 1. Constant Force Direction:

[0088] In the motion of a mass (m) along the circumference of a circle with radius (R), the direction of the centripetal force always points toward the center of the circle and remains constant, regardless of the direction of the mass's movement.

[0089]

[0051] 2. Force Magnitude Independent of Displacement:

[0090] The magnitude of the centripetal force is independent of the displacement along the circular path. In other words, the mass (m) does not need to complete a full revolution around the circle for the force to be applied. The force depends solely on the velocity of the moving mass.

[0091]

[0052] By utilizing these two fundamental properties, the present disclosure makes it possible to focus the centripetal force at a specific point, creating a controlled and continuous source of thrust. This approach forms the basis of the environmentindependent propulsion device, enabling efficient force generation without relying on external media such as air or water.

[0092]

[0053] Fig.1 illustrates a schematic view of the relationship between the type of motion and the centripetal force without any connection, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig.1 shows that a mass m oscillates within the spatial range from point A to point A- without any external force interaction. The distance between the mass and the fixed point O is denoted by R. Naturally, under these conditions, the oscillating mass does not exert any force on point O.

[0093]

[0054] Fig.2 illustrates the relationship between the type of motion and the centripetal force, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. In this schematic, a mass m is connected to a fixed point O using a string of length R. As the mass begins to oscillate, its path shifts from a straight line to a curved trajectory — specifically, an arc forming part of a circle centered at point O. If the average speed of the oscillating mass is V, it will exert an average centripetal force F on point O, where F is calculated as:

[0094] V2' F = - m

[0095]

[0055] R

[0096]

[0056] In an exemplary implementation, to simulate the relationship between the type of motion and the centripetal force mentioned above, an exemplary environmentindependent propulsion device may be designed.

[0097]

[0057] The exemplary environment-independent propulsion device may comprise at least one oscillating section 300 and at least one fixed section.

[0098]

[0058] Fig.3a illustrates a schematic view of the at least one oscillating section 300, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Also, Fig.3b illustrates a schematic view of the at least one oscillating section

[0099] 300 alongside the at least one fixed section, which has not yet been connected, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Finally, Fig.3c illustrates a schematic view of the exemplary environmentindependent propulsion device, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0100]

[0059] In an exemplary implementation, the at least one oscillating section 300 may comprise an axial rod 301 connected to an arm 302 connected to at least one balance weight 303, and a stabilizing part 304.

[0101]

[0060] In an exemplary implementation, the stabilizing part 304 may be connected to the end of the axial rod 301 (point B). In an exemplary implementation, the arm 302 connected to at least one balance weight 303 may be hinged to the axial rod

[0102] 301 (point A). In an exemplary implementation, when the arm 302 connected to at least one balance weight 303 is perpendicular to the axial rod 301 , an angle between the axial rod 301 and the stabilizing part 304 is such that the center of mass of the at least one oscillating section 300 (point C) always may lie along the stabilizing part 304. In an exemplary implementation, angle of deflection of the at least of one oscillating section 300 from the vertical axis may define as an oscillation angle (a). In an exemplary implementation, a deviation of the axial rod 301 from a bisector line of the oscillation angle (a) is controlled by the placement of the stabilizing part 304 in a stabilizing hole 305.

[0103]

[0061] In an exemplary implementation, the at least one fixed section may comprise a motor 306 and a means of power transmission from the motor 306 to the axial rod 301 .

[0104]

[0062] In an exemplary implementation, by transmitting power from the motor 306 to the axial rod 301 , the axial rod 301 may begin to rotate, and consequently, the arm 302 connected to at least one balance weight 303 may rotate. In an exemplary implementation, by rotating the arm 302 connected to at least one balance weight 303, the stabilizing part 304 may cause an oscillation of the at least one oscillating section 300 to keep the center of mass of the at least one oscillating section 300 (point C) on the bisector plane of the oscillation angle (a). In an exemplary implementation, due to deviation controlling of the stabilizing part by stabilizing hole 305, a deviation ranges of the arm 302 connected to the at least one balance weight 303 may be one-quarter of the oscillation angle (a). In an exemplary implementation, by generating centripetal force caused by the oscillation of the at least one oscillating section 300, propulsion force independent of the environment may be applied.

[0105]

[0063] In an exemplary implementation, the exemplary environment-independent propulsion device may further comprise a frame 307 for holding the components of the at least one oscillating section 300 together. In an exemplary implementation, the means of power transmission may comprise a belt and pulley system 308, a shaft, at least one movable base, or a combination thereof. In an exemplary implementation, a range of oscillation angle (a) of at least one oscillating section 300 may be between 0-180 degrees, preferably between 90 to 100 degrees.

[0106]

[0064] In an exemplary implementation, the point A may be defined as the location where the arm 302 connected to at least one balance weight 303 is connected to the axial rod 301 .

[0107]

[0065] In an exemplary implementation, the point B may be defined as the location where the stabilizing part 304 connected to the axial rod 301.

[0066] In an exemplary implementation, the point C may be as a center of mass of the at least one oscillating section 300.

[0108]

[0067] In an exemplary implementation, the distance between point A and point B may be defined as a length of the axial rod 301.

[0109]

[0068] In an exemplary implementation, the distance between point A and point C may be defined as a length of the axial rod 301.

[0110]

[0069] In an exemplary implementation, the oscillation angle (a) may be defined as an angle of deflection of the at least one oscillating section 300 from the vertical axis.

[0111]

[0070] In an exemplary implementation, the exemplary environment-independent propulsion device may further comprise a hinge 309, a mounting base 310, and a fastening pin 311.

[0112]

[0071] Fig.4 illustrates a schematic view of the angle of deflection of the at least one oscillating section 300 from the vertical axis (a), consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig.4, in an exemplary implementation, the axes 401 may be a bisector line.

[0113]

[0072] Fig. 5 illustrates a schematic view of the degree of deflection of the arm 302 connected to at least one balance weight 303 from the perpendicular line to the axis rod 301 , consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. In an exemplary implementation, when the motor 306 and consequently the axial rod 301 begin to rotate, two forces (F) are generally exerted by the center of mass of the at least one oscillating section 300 (point C) on the axial rod 301. As shown in Fig. 5, one force, W, is parallel to the xy plane and is equal to mro2cos0, where its magnitude changes slightly, but its direction varies. In this equation, co is the angular velocity, r is the distance from the connection point of the arm 302 connected to at least one balance weight 303 to the axial rod 301 (point A) to the center of mass of the at least one oscillating section 300 (point C), and m is the mass of the at least one oscillating section 300.

Also, Fig.7b illustrates a schematic view of a 3-dimensional exploded view of the exemplary symmetrical environment-independent propulsion device, consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0123]

[0080] In an exemplary implementation, the first stabilizing part 704 may be connected to the end of the first axial rod 701. In an exemplary implementation, when the first arm 702 connected to the first balance weight 703 is perpendicular to the first axial rod 701, an angle between the first axial rod 701 and the first stabilizing part 704 is such that the center of mass of the first oscillating section always may lie along the first stabilizing part 704. In an exemplary implementation, angle of deflection of the first oscillating section from the vertical axis may define as a first oscillation angle (on). In an exemplary implementation, due to deviation controlling of the fist stabilizing part 704 by a first stabilizing hole 705, a deviation range of the first arm 702 connected to the first balance weight 703 may be one-quarter of the first oscillation angle. In an exemplary implementation, a deviation of the first axial rod 701 from a bisector line of the first oscillation angle may be controlled by the placement of the first stabilizing part 704 in a first stabilizing hole 705.

[0124]

[0081] In an exemplary implementation, the second oscillating section may comprise a second axial rod 706 connected to a second arm 707 connected to a second balance weight 708, and a second stabilizing part 709.

In an exemplary implementation, when the second arm 707 connected to the second balance weight 708 may be perpendicular to the second axial rod 706. In an exemplary implementation, when the second arm 707 connected to the second balance weight 708 is perpendicular to the second axial rod 706, an angle between the second axial rod 706 and the second stabilizing part 709 is such that the center of mass of the second oscillating section always lies along the second stabilizing part 709 or on the bisector plane of the second oscillation angle. In an exemplary implementation, a deviation of the second axial rod 706 from a bisector line of the second oscillation angle may be controlled by the placement of the second stabilizing part 709 in a second stabilizing hole 710. In an exemplary implementation, angle of deflection of the second oscillating section from the vertical axis may define as a second oscillation angle (012). In an exemplary implementation, due to deviation controlling of the second stabilizing part 709 by a second stabilizing hole 710, a deviation range of the second arm 707 connected to the second balance weight 708 may be one-quarter of the second oscillation angle. In an exemplary implementation, a deviation of the second axial rod 707 from a bisector line of the second oscillation angle may be controlled by the placement of the second stabilizing part 709 in a second stabilizing hole 710.

[0126]

[0083] In an exemplary implementation, the first oscillating section and the second oscillating section may be positioned symmetrically against each other to modulate opposing forces and amplify similar forces. In an exemplary implementation the first oscillating section and the second oscillating section move in opposite directions.

[0127]

[0084] In an exemplary implementation, the at least one fixed section may comprise a motor 711, at least one movable base 712 and at least one belt and pulley system 713.

[0128]

[0085] In an exemplary implementation, by transmitting power from the motor 711 to the first axial rod 701 and the second axial rod 706 through the at least one movable base 712 and the at least one belt and pulley system 713, the first axial rod 701 and the second axial rod 706 may begin to rotate, and consequently, the first arm 702 connected to the first balance weight 703 and the second arm 707 connected to the second balance weight 708 may rotate. In an exemplary implementation, by rotating the first arm 702 connected to the first balance weight 703 and rotating the second arm 707 connected to the second balance weight 708, the first stabilizing part 704 and the second stabilizing part 709 may cause the oscillation of the first oscillating section and the second oscillating section to keep the center of mass of the first oscillating section along the first stabilizing part 704 and the center of mass of the second oscillating section along the second stabilizing part 709. In an exemplary implementation, due to deviation controlling of the first stabilizing part 704 in the first stabilizing hole 705, the deviation range of the first arm 702 connected to the first balance weight 703 may be one-quarter of the first oscillation angle. In an exemplary implementation, due to deviation controlling of the second stabilizing part 709 in the second stabilizing hole 710, the deviation range of the second arm 707 connected to the second balance weight 708 may be one-quarter of the second oscillation angle. In an exemplary implementation, by generating centripetal force caused by the oscillation of the first oscillating section and the second oscillating section, an environment-independent propulsion force may be applied.
