System for generating controllable reference environment and steerable translational force from interaction therewith

摘要

A controlled translational force generating system includes a main frame, a first set of parallel eccentric mass subsystems mounted on the main frame and being counterrotatable to generate a set of initial translational forces, and a second set of parallel balance subsystems mounted on the main frame and being counterrotatable to produce a controlled reference environment. The set of translational forces generated by the parallel eccentric mass subsystems through interaction with the controlled reference environment produced by the parallel balance subsystems produce a controllably steerable straight-line resultant translational force which causes the generating system to move along a desired directional path.
