Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing propulsion apparatuses are used, then propulsion function is provided, but contact and friction are required which limits operation in diverse environmental conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical contact-based propulsion systems with a centrifugal force generation system. The rotating assembly with pressurizer units generates centrifugal forces that propel the apparatus without requiring physical contact with external surfaces, thereby eliminating friction and enabling operation in diverse environments including space and different atmospheric conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a dynamically adjustable rotating assembly that can vary its rotation speed and configuration. The pressurizer units can be adjusted to change the magnitude and direction of generated centrifugal forces, providing adaptability to different operational conditions without mechanical contact.
2Ease of operation
If traditional propulsion systems are used, then force generation is achieved, but force direction adjustment requires complex mechanical mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the operational parameters of the rotating assembly, specifically the rotation speed and the configuration of pressurizer units, to adjust force direction. By varying these parameters, the system can generate forces in multiple directions without requiring complex mechanical steering mechanisms, simplifying the overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces rotational motion as an additional dimension for force control. Instead of using complex mechanical linkages in the traditional force direction plane, the system uses the third dimension of rotation to achieve force direction adjustment, where the angle of force application is determined by the rotational position of the pressurizer units.
