In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force. This invention describes one of the possible methods of converting the gravitational force created by an object with mass into rotational motion, and therefore into work and energy.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] This invention relates to energy engineering and more particularly to the alternative
energy technology of getting power from the force of gravity.
[0001.1] In physics, a force is any interaction, which tends to change the motion of an
object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which
includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Forces are also described as
a push or pull on an object. They can be due to phenomena such as magnetism, gravity, wind
or anything that might cause a mass to accelerate. Still more particularly this invention
designed for converting gravity force into rotary motion. This conversion does not require the
use of an additional external energy in accordance with the approval of the physics that any
physical force alone can compel an object with mass to change its speed, which includes
beginning to move from a state of rest.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Gravity as an energy source is hard to beat. It is free, it is in endless supply, and we
do not have to import it, mine it, refine it, or grow it. It is powerful force that keeps us rooted
to the ground and could end up powering our house someday.
[0003] For centuries man has used weight-driven mechanical clocks that are powered by the
gravitational pull of heavy weights slowly falling down. If the clock is equipped with a strike
(gong, bell, rods, etc.), then a second or even third weight is used to rotate those mechanisms.
[0004] Today a "Gravity Light", created by British designers Martin Riddiford and Jim
Reeves, allows a cheap LED kit to run for up to thirty minutes for free through no more than
a three-second pull on a cord.
[0005] Unfortunately all weight driven mechanisms have the disadvantage that, depending
on the construction and type of device, the weights must be wound or returned to their upper
position by hand, daily or weekly. If one forgets the winding and the mechanism stops.
[0006] A known solution to the problem is to increase the duration of the weight fall down
by increasing the number of lines between the weight, or the pulley(s) attached to the weight,
and the winding barrel, or the guide pulley(s) at the top of the weight channel. It is called
201326705505Dec2013

3. 3
"fall compounding" and involves the use of extra pulleys. Wide experience shows that a
system with more than three falls has excessive inherent friction losses, and that the decrease
in vertical weight drop is not sufficient to justify the increased friction, heavier weight
required, and the much longer weight line of a system with more than three falls.
SUMMARY
Technical Problem
[0007] Weight-driven mechanisms stop working not because gravitational force terminates
but because a cord wound on the winding drum of the main wheel unwinds over all its length.
After stopping, the weight continues to press the bottom of the clock-case or floor with the
same gravitational force as before but the mechanism cannot take this power because of the
limitations of the known method and devices for converting gravitational force to rotary
motion.
Solution to Problem
[0008] A radical solution would be to create a new method of converting gravitational force
into rotary motion and a fundamentally different mechanism for carrying out this conversion,
in which the heavy weight acting on this mechanism never changes its height position.
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0009] It is the object of the present invention to provide a new method for converting
gravitational force into rotary motion and a weight powered engine carrying out the steps of
this method with no need to wind up a heavy weight.
[0010] Proposed method for converting gravitational force to rotary motion comprises the
following steps:
a) using a heavy weight preferably in the form of a cylinder as a source of gravitational
force and as the main component of a rotor;
b) making the inlet in the centre of the weight with internal splines;
c) making external splines formed longitudinally on the rotor's shaft that fit into
corresponding internal splines in the weight inlet and rotatable installing shaft on a
frame;
201326705505Dec2013

4. 4
d) installing weight on said shaft's external splines for transmitting torque and providing the
weight with the possibility of vertical sliding on the rotor's shaft;
e) providing the decomposition of the weight's gravitational force into preferably equal
component forces acting in a radial direction in a horizontal plane using guiding wheels;
f) making a dynamic stator using multiple cylindrical wheels with the same diameter and
providing helical rails similar to the threads of lead screw on these cylindrical wheels;
g) providing every cylindrical wheel with its own shaft rotatable about its axis with one end
connecting to the shaft's end of the next cylindrical wheel through the flexible joint;
h) rolling up all cylindrical wheels and flexible joints about the weight thereby making a
mane endless flexible transmission and all cylinders arranged into a ring around the rotor;
i) putting all gravitational component forces through the guiding wheels on helical rails of
said dynamic stator wheels in tangent direction; and
j) providing at least one additional transmission for transmitting torque, rate and the
rotation direction from the dynamic stator's cylindrical wheels to the rotor's shaft.
[0011] An advantage of this method is that it enables the creation of gravity engines, which
put into practice the abovementioned steps for converting gravitational force to rotary motion
without the utilisation of long weight lines and a winding barrel. Disclosed gravity engine
has no need for winding up a heavy weight.
[0012] The gravity engine includes a frame, a rotor, a dynamic stator and a transmission for
transmitting torque from the dynamic stator's revolving wheels to the rotor's shaft.
[0013] An output rotor's shaft with round platform and one bevel gear is rotatable mounted
on the engine frame. The rotor's shaft, said platform, and said gear serve as a basis for
making the rotor.
[0014] A heavy weight preferably in the form of a cylinder, that is a gravity force source,
installed on the rotor's shaft over said platform. It has internal splines in the hole in its centre
that fit with corresponding external splines on the rotor's shaft, which are installed upright.
This provides the weight with the possibility of vertical sliding over said platform.
[0015] Multiple bell crank assemblies are arranged along the edges of said platform. They
provide the decomposition of the weight's gravitational force, acting downward, into
preferably equal component forces, acting in a horizontal plane in a radial direction.
201326705505Dec2013

5. 5
[0016] Every bell crank assembly is comprised of an "L" shaped crank which upper
horizontal hand is under the heavy weight and lower vertical hand is placed against the power
rod with a guiding wheel on its end. The power rod installed on a bell crank assembly base
with the possibility of horizontal sliding in a radial direction. The guiding wheels finalize the
structure of the rotor and are the major parts emitting gravitational component forces on the
revolving parts of the dynamic stator's structure and providing force interaction between the
rotor and the stator.
[0017] A dynamic stator has multiple cylindrical wheels with the same diameter, each
having its own shaft connected to the shaft of the next cylindrical wheel by means of a
flexible joint with both ends seated in the bearing bracket fixed on the engine frame and
arranged about the rotor in a main endless transmission.
[0018] Every cylindrical wheel of the dynamic stator has helical rails affixed at an acute
tangent angle upon the wheel. The helical rails finalize the structure of the dynamic stator.
They are its major parts, taking the gravitational push of the rotor guiding wheels and
providing force interaction between the dynamic stator revolving parts and the rotor.
[0019] In this interaction multiple bell cranks of the rotor transmit the weight's gravitational
force components to multiple power rods with guiding wheels on their ends, which
permanently push all guiding rails of the dynamic stator wheels at an acute tangent angle.
This action sets all dynamic stator wheels in the main endless transmission and the rotor with
heavy weight in rotary motion at the same time.
[0020] At least one additional transmission consists of a set of bevel gears for transmitting
torque, rate and the rotation direction from the stator's guiding wheels to the rotor's shaft.
This transmission provides the gravity engine with the synchronization and stabilization of
the rotor's guiding wheels rolling along the dynamic stator's endless helical rails.
[0021] The heavy weight gains motion in this gravity engine but it is a rotational motion in
the horizontal plane with no change in its height position.
[0022] As is well known a heavy revolving wheel in a machine is used to increase the
machine's momentum and thereby provide greater stability. It is the so-called flywheel. In
that way a heavy weight in this disclosed gravity engine is not just an energy source but a
very useful flywheel too.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0024] In accordance with the generally accepted definition of the “engine”, it converts
energy into mechanical force or motion. It is incorrect definition. Energy cannot set in motion
a complex machinery. It must first be converted into a physical force. Physical force and only
physical force can set in motion all the moving parts of any engine.
[0025] The force of compressed steam drives a steam engine, and the force of the gas
explosion in cylinders drives our car. Clockwork motors in wind-up clocks and toys operate
under the influence of elastic/spring force. Weight-driven clocks operate by weights that,
under gravity, drive the hands of the clock in their rotational movement by means of a gear
train. Pneumatic motors use the force of a compressed air. A windmill operate using the
wind force to make energy. A waterwheel uses force of linear motion of river water and
convert it into rotational motion and so on.
201326705505Dec2013

8. 8
[0026] The disclosed engine uses gravity, one of the fundamental forces of nature.
Unfortunately, we know very little about the physical nature of this power, but it could not
stop us using it successfully.
[0027] The main elements of the design in the disclosed engine, carrying out the conversion
of a physical force in rotational motion are the rotor with multiple bell crank assemblies,
dynamic stator, made in the form of a torus with endless helical rails on its surface, and
transmission for transmitting torque from the dynamic stator to the rotor's shaft. Toroidal
mechanical construction never before used in engineering though has unique properties. The
uniqueness lies in the fact that in the synchronous rotation of the cylinders, forming torus,
rails on their surfaces create continuous endless railways on the inner surface of the torus,
where the rotor guiding wheels roll under the influence of the physical force endlessly to
breakage or complete wear of the engine components.
[0028] Referring first to the drawings in Figs. 1 and Fig. 2, the numeral 1 designates the
invented gravity engine.
[0029] Due to the high density of the engine components in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, some of them
remain closed for viewing. To get out of a difficult situation some components of the gravity
engine 1 shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are taken away. Therefore, in Fig. 3, all dynamic stator's
wheels are lacking and in Fig. 4, all rotor components are lacking with the exception of the
rotor's shaft. This provides a good overview of the remaining components of the design on
both drawings.
[0030] As depicted in Figs. 1 - 4 the gravity engine 1 includes frame 4, rotor 6, dynamic
stator 17 and at least one transmission 18 for transmitting torque, rate and the rotation
direction from the dynamic stator's wheels 11 to rotor's shaft 2.
[0031] These drawings illustrate frame 4 in the form of transparent cage so that all engine
parts are visible. It is the gravity engine housing. No thermal process occurs inside the
gravity engine housing except friction in bearings (the shafts of all rotating components have
the bearings). Therefore, frame 4 can be solid.
[0032] Rotor 6 includes a substantially disk-shaped platform 3, affixed to the shaft 2,
rotatable mounted on the engine frame 4. A heavy weight 7 mounted on said shaft 2, and
multiple bell crank assemblies 5 arranged on said platform along the edges.
201326705505Dec2013

9. 9
[0033] The heavy weight 7, which is a gravity force source, has internal splines in the hole
in its centre that fit with corresponding external splines on the rotor's output shaft 2 providing
the weight with the possibility of vertical sliding over the platform 3.
[0034] Referring to Fig. 5 and Fig. 11, every bell-crank assembly 5 comprises of an "L"
shaped crank 8 which has an upper horizontal hand with its end under the heavy weight 7
and lower vertical hand, placed against power rod 9 installed on the bell crank assembly base
with the possibility of sliding in a radial direction. Every power rod 9 has guiding wheel 10
on its end.
[0034.1] In this case, bell-cranks 8 are only used for transmitting the input force through a
right angle and its amplification, if necessary, but not for transmitting a motion. Bell crank 8,
power rod 9 and guiding wheel 10 are in the same position in bell-crank assemblies 5 during
engine operation. The guiding wheels 10 is constantly stay on helical rails 12 of the dynamic
stator, power rod 9 is in constant contact with the lower hand of the bell cranks 8 and the
guiding wheels 10 and the upper hand of the bell-cranks 8 is in constant contact with the
weight 7. All of these mechanical elements 8, 9 and 10 transmit the force F to the wheels of
the dynamic stator at an acute tangent angle and do not participate in the movement as the
distance from the rotor axis to the helical rails 12 on the surface of the dynamic stator’s
wheels all the time remains constant. Thus, the platform 3 of the rotor undergoes no pushing
from force F, and the whole of its power is applied only to the wheels 11 of the dynamic
stator at an acute tangent angle. Wheels of the dynamic stator can not remain dormant under
the influence of this force. They begin rotational motion and involve in motion weight 7 and
all the moving parts of the engine.
[0035] All objects upon earth experience a force of gravity that is directed downward
towards the centre of the earth. The force of gravity on earth is always equal to the weight of
the object as found by the equation:
F = m g ,
where g is a gravitational acceleration, g = 9.8 metres/second 2 and m - mass (in kg).
[0036] Bell crank assemblies 5 provide the decomposition of the weight's 7 gravitational
force F into equal component forces F/n, acting in radial direction through guiding wheels
201326705505Dec2013

10. 10
10 in a horizontal plane, where n is a number of bell crank assemblies in rotor (n = 24). The
dynamic stator has n/2 of the helical rails (in this case n/2 = 12).
[0037] Guiding wheels 10 finalize the structure of the rotor 6 and are its major parts
emitting gravitational force F on the rotating parts of the dynamic stator and providing force
interaction between the rotor and the stator.
[0038] The dynamic stator 17 includes multiple cylindrical wheels 11 with their own shafts
13 rotatable about their axes with both ends connected to the shaft's ends of the nearby stator
wheels through flexible joints 14 with both ends seated in the bearing bracket 16 fixed on the
engine frame 4.
[0039] This makes all dynamic stator wheels 11arranged on the main endless transmission
15 in a circle about the rotor 6.
[0040] Guiding helical rails 12 are affixed at an acute tangent angle upon the dynamic stator
cylindrical wheels 11.
[0041] As depicted in Figs. 5 and 6 all helical rails are under the double permanent
gravitational push of the guiding wheels 10 with force F/n . Inasmuch as the dynamic stator
cylinders have two times less the number of helical rails as the rotor has guiding wheels (in
this case n/2 = 12 ), the entire gravitational force F/n × 2×n/2 = F will push all dynamic
stator cylindrical wheels in a tangent direction simultaneously.
[0042] This means that all the dynamic stator's wheels are under the permanent pushing of
the gravitational force F at an acute tangent angle θ.
[0043] There are two components of force in circular motion: tangential Ft and normal Fr .
The tangential component Ft acts along the tangent while the normal component acts along
the radius r. Only the tangential component Ft of the force F generates torque. The radial
component Fr will not affect the torque about point p.
[0044] Torque is a measure of how much a force F acting on a wheel causes that wheel to
rotate. The wheel rotates about an axis, which is the pivot point p. The distance from the
pivot point to the point, where the force acts is the moment arm, and denoted by r. Note that
this distance r is also a vector, and points from the axis of rotation to the point where the
201326705505Dec2013

11. 11
force acts. Refer to Fig. 6 for a clear representation of these definitions. Torque (or a
rotational force) τ is defined as
τ = r ×F = r F sin θ.
[0045] Evidently, the less the angle θ the greater the rotational force.
[0046] The drawings in Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 explain how the gravity engine
works.
[0047] Referring to Fig. 6, the cylindrical wheels 11 of the dynamic stator are assembled in
one long cylinder with one long shaft. This is done to illustrate that the gravitational force F
corresponding to the heavy weight 7 acts upon all the cylindrical wheels of the dynamic
stator in a tangential direction simultaneously. This results in their clockwise rotation. In
response to this action the helical rails force the guiding wheels 10 of the rotor to roll along
the dynamic stator cylinders 11. In that case, a long cylinder with helical rails 12 acts as a
mechanical linear actuator that converts these rails' 12 rotational motion to the linear motion
of the guiding wheels 10.
[0048] In Fig. 7 the 48 cylindrical wheels of the dynamic stator are assembled in one long
cylinder with diameter D, length L and twelve start helical rails, similar to a leadscrew
threads with lead l and pitch p. The helical rails just as the leadscrew threads are used to
translate the turning motion of this cylinder into the linear motion of the guiding wheels 10
rolling along the rails 12.
[0049] A lead l is the axial advance of the helical rails during one complete turn (360°) and
pitch p is defined as the axial distance between adjacent helical rails 12 and thus the distance
between adjacent guiding wheels 10.
[0050] Moreover the lead l is the axial travel of the rotor guiding wheels for a single
revolution of the cylinder in Fig. 7. In this case during the two revolutions of the dynamic
stator's wheels every rotor's guiding wheel goes all the way L = 2l.
[0051] This means that in gravity engine 1 during the two revolutions of the dynamic stator
wheels only one revolution of the rotor takes place. That is why the bevel gears 20 and 19 of
the transmission 18 shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 10 have ratio 2 : 1 (24 teeth and 12 teeth).
201326705505Dec2013

12. 12
[0052] If a total length L of all dynamic stator's wheels is equal to L, 3L, 4L and so on,
we have to use gears ratio 1 : 1, 3 : 1, 4 : 1 and so on accordingly.
[0053] In Fig. 8, the cylinder shown in FIG. 6 rolled up in a ring in the supposition that the
long cylinder and its helical rails are continuous and flexible (it is a hypothetical flexible ring
with all continuous and endless helical rails).
[0054] However, it is quite possible to get a real functioning cylindrical ring with endless
rails in a special place of the ring. Here is an example: referring to Fig. 9 the cylinder shown
in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 has been cut into 48 equal sections and rolled up in real composite ring
disposing all sections (dynamic stator's wheels 12) closely just inside of the ring. As it is
shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, all helical rails inside of the ring are continuous and form
continuous endless tracks during rotating.
[0055] Fig. 10 shows an enlarged view of two dynamic stator cylindrical wheels 11 which
have their shafts connected to the shafts of two nearby wheels through universal joints 14
with both ends seated in the bearing bracket 16 fixed on the engine frame 4. This picture also
shows two bevel gears providing rotary motion transmision from the main endless flexible
shaft 15 to the output shaft 2 in accordance with their ratio (driver 12 teeth, driven 24 teeth):
𝐷𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛
𝐷𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔
=
24
12
=
2

= 2 : 1
It means for every two rotations of the driving gear, the driven gear makes one rotation. As a
result for every two rotations of dinamic stator's wheels, the rotor makes one rotation because
the rest of the gears in transmission 18 and gear 26 have ratio 1 : 1.
[0056] Fig. 11 shows an enlarged view of the bell-crank assemblies 5 where a bell-crank 8
is a rectangular lever by which the direction of motion is changed through an angle of 90
degrees, and by which its mechanical advantage may be altered by differing the length of the
hands.
[0057] This means that the longer upper horizontal hands of the bell cranks are the less
weight we can use for getting the same energy.
[0058] Fig. 12 illustrates an enlarged perspective view of the wheels 11with the helical rails
12 overlapping 27. This is one example of the helical rails construction providing
201326705505Dec2013

13. 13
uninterrupted endless tracks 12 for guiding wheels 10 with the smallest possible tangential
angle θ.
[0059] Fig. 13 shows a kinematic scheme of the gravity engine with a triple transmission of
torque from the dynamic stator's main endless transmission 15 to the rotor's shaft 2.
[0060] Every transmission 18 consists of a driving bevel gear 19, a driven bevel gear 20
with shaft 21, a bevel gear 22 attached to this shaft, a bevel gear 23 with shaft 24 and a bevel
gear 25 attached to this shaft. Three bevel gears 25 are the driving gears with respect to bevel
gear 26. Driven gear 26 is attached to rotor's shaft and sets rotor in motion by means of three
transmissions 18 at the same time.
[0061] The described gravity engine has a long main flexible transmission with 48 universal
joints in series. The triple transmission of torque from dynamic stator to the rotor's shaft
provides three equal parts of the main long transmission with unloading.
[0062] A present-day technology of the flexible shafts for power transmission, which is used
to transmit rotary power along a curved path, covers most applications in machines now and
it is possible to use them in the gravity engine instead of the multiple universal joints and
bevel gears someday.
[0062.1] Newton’s second law reads as follows: The acceleration a of an object as produced
by a net force Fn is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same
direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass m of the object: Fn = ma. In
this engine, the net force is the gravitational force of heavy weight 7. Under an assumption of
constant gravity near the surface of the Earth, Newton's law of universal gravitation
simplifies to definition of the gravitational force as Fg = mg, where m is the mass of the
weight 7 and g is a constant vector with an average magnitude of 9.81 m/s2
. The
acceleration of the engine that produced by this force is directly proportional to the
magnitude of this force, and inversely proportional to the mass m∑ of all moving components
of this engine. They do not move in direction of this force action because multiple bell crank
assemblies 5 transmit this force to helical rails 12, and whole of the force Fg power pushes
wheels 11 of the dynamic stator in tangent direction at an acute tangent angle. This leads to
the rotational movement of the rotor and all dynamic stator’s cylindrical wheels with
acceleration.

Industrial Applicability
[0063] The disclosed gravity engine does not contravene the laws of physics and its
performance specification is not beyond calculations and engineering design. No special
design techniques or unique technologies are needed to build this engine. It can be built
using common components and materials of modern machines and mechanisms.
[0064] Harnessing energy from gravitational pull would be of great advantage.
Gravitational pull is relatively constant at all times and in all conditions. This would allow
energy generation systems to be virtually universal without regard for terrain, weather, or
other uncontrollable events such as those related to geography and political systems. What is
very important is that the energy source is clear.
