Abstract

A gyroscopic apparatus, having application as prime mover, has a pair, or alternatively multiple pairs, of flywheels disposed opposite one another. A pivot axis of the flywheels lies in a position midway between the flywheels for each pair. Each flywheel has its own separate electric motor or engine. A drive arrangement operates to spin the assembly unit about a second axis, in the same plane, but perpendicular to the flywheel pair axis.

Claims

1. A gyroscopic motion machine comprising:

a. at least one flywheel pair comprising at least one first flywheel positioned 180 degrees diametrically opposed to at least one second flywheel;

b. at least one motor, said flywheel pair being directly coupled to the motor for rotationally driving the flywheel pair, and said motor drives said first flywheel counterclockwise and drives said second flywheel clockwise;

c. at least one assembly wheel component in which the flywheel pair is mounted within the assembly wheel component and the flywheels of the flywheel pair rotate inside of the assembly wheel component on at least one shaft within the assembly wheel component;

d. an assembly wheel unit formed by one or more of the assembly wheel components;

e. a power source arranged to deliver power to the motor coupled to each flywheel; and

f. a drive motor connected to the assembly wheel unit for rotation of the assembly wheel unit.

2. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which said assembly wheel component includes a disk component having a pair of parallel spaced disks defining a space in which said flywheel pair is mounted in the space between the spaced disks.

3. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which said power source comprises batteries mounted inside of the assembly wheel component.

4. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which said at least one motor includes a separate motor coupled to each flywheel of said at least one flywheel pair.

5. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 4 in which each of said motors comprise an engine and said power source is a fuel tank mounted inside of the assembly wheel component.

6. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 comprising multiple assembly wheel components stacked in a row within the assembly wheel unit and the multiple assembly wheel components are connected and rotated by the drive motor.

7. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which each assembly wheel component comprises multiple flywheel pairs with each pair being equally spaced and each pair including a first flywheel positioned 180 degrees diametrically opposed to a second flywheel

8. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 7 in which each flywheel pair is symmetrical and the flywheel pairs of the assembly wheel components are aligned in multiple straight line rows within the assembly wheel unit.

9. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 7 in which each flywheel pair is symmetrical and the flywheel pairs are equally spaced in equidistant angular displacement with respect to each flywheel pair within the assembly component.

10. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 comprising bearing members added to the outside edge of each flywheel and said bearing members engage the outside edge of the flywheels, whereby the bearing members stabilize the flywheels to prevent wobble.

11. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 10 in which said assembly wheel unit is mounted to a swivel and said drive motor unit includes a reversing motor connected to the assembly wheel unit.

12. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which said motor comprises a single electric motor that is mounted within the assembly wheel component for each flywheel pair and said motor is coupled to the flywheel pair for counterclockwise rotation of said first flywheel and clockwise rotation of said second flywheel.

13. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which said motor comprises a hydraulic drive system for each flywheel pair mounted within said assembly wheel component.

14. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which each said flywheel comprises a rim with weights attached about a perimeter of the rim.

15. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which each said flywheel comprises a spoke rim wheel with weights attached about a perimeter of the spoke rim wheel.

16. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 in which each said flywheel comprises a hub with multiple line extending from the hub and spherical weights attached to the each line on a distal end from the hub.

17. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 2 in which the drive motor is coupled to a pair of rubber drive wheels and the rubber drive wheels engage one of the disks of the disk component by spring pressure.

18. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 2 in which the drive motor is coupled to drive a rubber drive wheel by a pulley system having a small pulley, a large pulley and a connecting belt, an solenoid motor is connected to the rubber drive wheel, the drive motor is further connected to a slide joint and the slide joint is attached to a lever and shaft, and said lever is attached to said rubber drive wheel.

19. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 1 further comprising a variable radius gyro flywheel positioning system including a shaft for movement of the flywheels of a flywheel pair for adjustment distance between the flywheels.

20. A gyroscopic motion machine as in claim 2 further comprising additional weights mounted on the disk component at 90 and 270 degrees, wherein the first flywheel is relatively positioned at 0 degrees, whereby the weights are positioned at a 90 degree rotational offset from the flywheel locations of the flywheel pair.
