18 results about "Gravitational field" patented technology

In physics, a gravitational field is a model used to explain the influence that a massive body extends into the space around itself, producing a force on another massive body. Thus, a gravitational field is used to explain gravitational phenomena, and is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg). In its original concept, gravity was a force between point masses. Following Isaac Newton, Pierre-Simon Laplace attempted to model gravity as some kind of radiation field or fluid, and since the 19th century explanations for gravity have usually been taught in terms of a field model, rather than a point attraction.

Velocity measurement with reference to gravitational field

The present application relates to the technical field of measurement, and particularly to a method for measuring speed with a gravitational field as a reference system, which can measure the speed of a substance without an external physical reference system. A reference object having a direct force interaction with the substance is an absolute reference system, such as light or electromagnetic waves propagating in a gravitational field or a substance, which has a direct force interaction with the field or the substance. Relative to the light, the gravitational field and the substance are absolute reference systems of the light. Because of the existence of the absolute reference system, when the substance has a relative speed relative to the field, the speed of the substance itself can be measured by the optical path (the optical path refers to the propagation path length of light or electromagnetic waves) of the field, and this process is the speed measurement with the gravitational field as a reference system.

Gravitational and magnetic force to electrical energy conversion system (GMECS)

PCT designated stageWO2026146318A1Magnetic tension forceRelative motion
The invention proposes a Gravitational and Magnetic Force to Electrical Energy Conversion System (GMECS), a solution based on the simple pendulum principle and developed from the successful foundation of the "Large-sized clock, low power consumption" invention (internationally published by WIPO in 2022). GMECS overcomes the inherent challenges of using a simple pendulum for large-scale electricity production by optimally and effectively combining the interaction of the Earth's gravitational field with the powerful magnetic field of Neodymium N52 rare-earth magnets and the controlled variable magnetic field of an electromagnet to generate significant and continuous torque. In this system, the pendulum's oscillation energy, maintained and amplified by a small amount of electrical energy from an external source (e.g., solar power), is converted into mechanical energy through a complex gearbox system comprising a one-way gearbox and a reversing gearbox. This mechanical energy is then transmitted to a speed-increasing gearbox to augment rotational speed, thereby rotating the rotor of a rare-earth magnet generator, producing useful electrical energy. Experiments have demonstrated the system's superior capability to generate 22W of output power with only 8.7W of input power, showing a positive and significant energy amplification factor (COP > 2.5). This additional energy is attributed to the efficient harnessing from the relative motion of the hundreds-of- kilogram pendulum within the Earth's gravitational field and the interaction between the magnetic field of rare-earth magnets and the controlled variable magnetic field of the electromagnet, via the pendulum's resonance mechanism. This successfully addresses technical challenges, including overcoming the inertia of the speed-increasing gearbox, the generator, and the Lenz's Law effect. The GMECS invention has the potential for scalable electricity production, offering significant benefits in energy savings, providing independent distributed power, being environmentally friendly, and having broad applicability in both industrial and agricultural sectors, especially in areas difficult to access traditional energy sources or requiring sustainable energy solutions.
