DEVICE FOR CONVERTING CENTRIFUGAL FORCE INTO PROPULSIVE FORCE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To utilize centrifugal force having directivity as propulsive force, by providing the directivity in the centrifugal force generated by a rotary unit. ;SOLUTION: For changing a level of centrifugal force of an object making a peripheral turning motion around a circular orbit, its radius of either one object is changed on a diagonal on the peripheral turn orbit. Or mass and a speed of the motion are changed. A method like these changing actions can be considered, but this invention relates to a cylinder rail rotated with the center serving as an axis. An orbital ring, not rotated to be fixed to the same axis, can adjust an angle with the axis serving as the center. By these two equipments, a speed of the motion of the object and its radius of rotation are changed, and a level of the centrifugal force is changed. An angular speed (rotational speed) 10 is prevented from changing, with the axis serving as the center, when the object makes a peripheral turning motion around on the orbital ring, the centrifugal force is increased in a large circular orbit 8 and decreased in a small circular orbit 7, of the orbital ring. A part generating large centrifugal force, by fixing the orbital ring, has directivity, by angularly adjusting the orbital ring, propulsive force capable of freely changing a steering direction is generated. In addition, inertia force 9 generated in the case the motion of the object is transferred to a linear orbit, by making cancellation capable on the diagonal, is prevented from influencing the propulsive force.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
