Abstract

Systems and apparatuses for delivering power and energy using deflecting beams or other oscillating members motivated to oscillate a beam assembly using an eccentrically balanced rotating body that induces deflections in the elastic beam or other oscillating member. One or more rotors may be used on the elastic beams and a mechanical output or outputs are connected to the elastic beams. The rotating body is advantageously maintained in rotation by pulses of electro-magnetic force. One or more outputs may be used to drive heat pumps, compressors, pumps or other equipment to assist in independent energy systems.

Claims

1. An apparatus for providing power comprising:

a rotor coupled to a pump mechanism, the pump mechanism operated when the rotor spins;

a rotor magnet mounted on the rotor; and

an electromagnetic pulse motor powered by a power source and is controlled to act upon the rotor magnet mounted on the rotor to apply an intermittent torque thereto.

2. An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spring mechanism configured to alternately store and release energy provided by motion of the rotor.

3. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the rotor is coupled to the pump mechanism through a beam configured to deflect in an oscillating manner as the rotor rotates, the beam at least partially deflected by a centripetal or centrifugal force generated during a rotation of the rotor.

4. An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spring mechanism configured to alternately store and release energy provided by motion of the rotor wherein the spring mechanism provides a variable force on the beam, the magnitude and direction of the force based on the spring mechanism being in a state of compression or tension as the beam deflects.

5. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the spring mechanism comprises a first spring to control the deflection of the beam in a first direction and a second spring to control the deflection of the beam in a second direction.

6. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein one end of the beam is maintained in a substantially fixed position relative to the motion of the rotor and the pump mechanism is coupled to the beam at a location between the fixed end and the location at which the rotor is mounted upon the beam.

7. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein one end of the beam is maintained in a substantially fixed position relative to the motion of the rotor and wherein the pump mechanism comprises a plurality of mechanical pumps coupled to the beam at locations between the fixed end and the location at which the at least one rotor is mounted upon the beam, wherein the location of each mechanical pump is preselected based on the amount of deflection to be provided to each mechanical pump.

8. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the apparatus comprises at least two rotors with a fulcrum provided at a location on the beam between the at least two rotors.
