Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If centrifugal forces are transmitted via direct contact between masses and oscillating rotating plates, then the design is simpler, but the complexity of the machine remains high
Solution Approach 1:
The machine is divided into modular components: multiple independent mass-rotating shaft assemblies, oscillating rotating plates, and torque output mechanisms. Each segment can be designed, manufactured, and assembled separately, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining manufacturing simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The oscillating rotating plates serve as intermediary elements that receive centrifugal forces from masses via direct contact and transmit them to the torque output mechanism. This intermediary component simplifies the force transmission path while managing the complexity of coordinating multiple moving parts
2Power
If external power sources are used, then the machine can generate mechanical energy, but accessibility and sustainability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The machine generates mechanical energy through its own operational movement rather than requiring external power sources. The rotating shafts and masses self-generate centrifugal forces during operation, making the system self-sufficient and universally accessible without dependency on external energy infrastructure
Solution Approach 2:
The machine can be applied universally across different contexts (ground vehicles, aerial vehicles, stationary power generation) without requiring specific external power sources. The same centrifugal force generation mechanism adapts to various applications, enhancing energy accessibility and versatility

AI summary
A generator (100) and/or machine (110) generating mechanical energy and functioning on the principle of exploitation of an energy allowing the existence of centrifugal forces (Fc) on masses (120) being displaced in rotation, into an effective elliptic trajectory (150), about a respective shaft (128) freely rotatably mounted on a plate (122) itself freely rotatably mounted on a main shaft (202) freely rotatably mounted on a fixed chassis (140). The centrifugal forces generated by the masses (120) transmit a rotational oscillating movement of the plate (122) transferred by a mechanical energy transmission mechanism into a continuous rotation movement to an output torque mechanism freely mounted on the main shaft (202).
