Abstract
An externally powered propulsion device particularity designed to propel floating and submerged water craft, as well as any other vehicles (land or air). The device utilizes a helical coil drive mechanism which causes a flexible body plate(s) to move and undulate in such a way that a travelling unilineal wave motion is produced. The resulting wave creates thrust within any fluidic medium. (See attached description for more detailed information.) In brief, the device is designed to transform mechanical standing wave motion into a travelling wave pattern applicable as a propulsion mechanism.
The device is also broadly applicable in many situations where a travelling wave pattern may be desirable for reasons not related to vehicular propulsion (e.g., pumps, fans, fishing lures, massaging devices, conveyers, amusement devices, etc.).
The device is also broadly applicable in many situations where a travelling wave pattern may be desirable for reasons not related to vehicular propulsion (e.g., pumps, fans, fishing lures, massaging devices, conveyers, amusement devices, etc.).
Description
SPECIFICATION Application No. : 2,245,285 The device is uniquely designed as a means to simply transform mechanical standing helical or spiral wave motion into a travelling lineal wave pattern applicable as a propulsion mechanism within a liquidic or gaseous medium. The invention replicates both fish swimming body motiom and propulsion.
In drawings which illustrate embodiments of the invention, Figure 1 is a 8 dimensional representation of the invention from a side view perspective, Figure 2 is an expanded view of a single slotted plate and a section of the coil, Figure 3 is a top view of the invention, Figure 4 is a front endl view of the invention, Figure 5 is a view of the coil only, and Figure 6 is a close up view of hinging mechanisms Joining two plates.
The device consists of a sufficiently rigid elongated helical coil (Fig. 1-1, Fig. 4-5, Fig. 5j or spiral coil or spiral crank shaft and, using example as depicted in Figure 1, a horisontai row of sufficiently rigid slotted plates (Fig. 1-2j hinged or flexibly attached one to another (Fig. 6j.
The coil is threaded through all plate slots (Fig. 2, Fig. 3-4) and the front leading end of the coil (Fig. 1-3j is centrally connected to a rotating shaft driven by an energetic source such as an electric motor, gasoline engine, elastic band, human muscle power, etc.
The hinging or flexible attachment mechanism only allows for one way swinging side to side !lateral movement of each plate relative to the other along an axis 8Q~ degrees to the long axis of the connected plate edges, by means, for example, of hinges connecting both the top and bottom edges of adjoining plates.
The number and size c~f coil laops and plates varies according to any particular application.
Externally applied energy causes the coil to rotate its loops around a common central axis (longitudinally in line with the motor shaft) (Fig. 4~5, Fig. 5j. The rotating coil creates an undulating screwing movement also described as a 3 dimensional sinuose standing wave pattern (Any point in the coil rotates along a fixed arc around the axis.) (Fig. 1, Fig. 3j. The screwing movement can run forward or backward, depending on the rotational direction of the coil.
Each plate moves laterally back and forth or side to side across the central axis (Fig. 4j, while remaining in a vertical upright postion, as the plate tracks with the point of the coil with which it is attached (in contact with) by means of the slots (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3,4). With each revolution of the coil, a plate is forced to one side as a point in the coil (at slot contact point) reaches maximal lateral hor,zontal distance from the central axis (Fig. 2, Fig. 4). As the contact point in the coil moves toward the maximal vertical ditance above or below the central axis, the contact point of the coil slides up or down inside the slot (Fig. 2) allowing the plate to move horizontally with the point in the coil toward the central axis with out any vertical (up and down) movement. The coil can not push the plate up or down, only left or rightl side to side because the vertical slot permits vertical free play, while maintaining constant horizontal contact between the coil and the plate. The result is a graduated movement of the plate from one side of the axis to the other; from 0 horizontal movement, when the coil contact point is positioned within the extreme top or bottom of the slot, to maximum horizontal movement, when the coil is positioned in the middle of the slot. Any tendency for vertical movement of the plates, due to frictional or inertial forces are overcome or neutralised by means of the plates being connected together (Fig. 6-6, Fig.g-7). Bath the combined weight of the plates and differential coil and slot relationships existent in the plate assemblage work to counter the effect of any vertical plate movement. Also, because the plate ass~embiage is attached to a leading plate (housing the connection between coil end and motor shaft) which contains no coil/ slot contact mechanism, the leading plate serves to stabilize wayward movement of the plates (The leading plate is connected to the assemblage by means of a horizontally swinging hinge mechanism.).
Angular rotational movement of the unit as a whole is countered by the use of stabilizing fins (Fig. 1) and weights positioned low on the body (Fig. 1), if the device is to be used as a self contained vehicle in itself. Otherwise, the idevice can be attached directly to the super structure of the vehicle it propels.
The combined effect of all plate movement is an undulating lineal wave pattern, or serpentine motion, (Fig. 1, Fig. 3) travelling along the horizontal axis from one end to the other of the plate assemblage.
Each plate is differentially positioned in relation to other plates with the result that when one plate is at the crest postion of the wave cycle, another is located at the trough position, while others represent various intermediate positions along the wave curve. Each plate, in turn, reaches any point in the wave profile according to a graduated sequence, creating an over all multiphasic wave pattern.
in effect, each rotational cycle of every plate , at all times, contributes, in part, to the development of an overall transcendent "S' wave pattern comprised of many differentially fixed cycles working in concert.
The crest peak of the resultant or transcendental wave moves along (a travelling wave), tracking the points where each wave cycle reaches maximal horizontal distance away from the central axis, one after the other. All other points in the transcendent wave also represent the same action sequence, except they track the rising/ falling or centering (positioned at center axis) points of individual plate cycles. The leading edge of the transcendent wave consists of individual plates rising horizontally in sequence, while the trailing side of the wave is comprised of individual plates sequentially returning back to the central axis along a horisontal path. Once each plate returns or falls back to and crosses the central axis, it immediately begins the rising phase of the cycle again.
The direction of the transcendent wave pattern movement against a medium such as water creates thrust in the opposite direction because the sum of the advancing forces on the leading aids of the wave curve (effect of rising plate :sequence) exceeds the sum of the forces exerted by the receding side of the wave curve (effect of retreating plate sequence). The extended flat sides of the wave aid propulsion.
Propulsion effect of the device can occur in any kind of fluidic or gaseous medium.
in reverse action effect, pulling the device in an unpowered state through water, air, etc., so that water pressure forces out standing plates to recede in sequence, causes the plates to undulate according to a travelling wave pattern, producing a torque force in the coil (coil rotates).
Modification allows for entire plate assemblage to be replaced with a flexible flattened sleeve-like unibody housing consisting of material such as rubber, plastic, etc. of which the lateral height of the hollow cavity, is longer at 90 degrees to the lateral width of the hollow cavity to supplant the slot mechanism.
