Patent Specification for "MECHANICAL MOTION SYSTEM FOR ENERGY
GENERATION"
Continuous and perpetual mechanical motion for energy production exclusively
powered by the force or energy of gravity
Initial Considerations
This application for patent registration is similar to my previous application
called "SYSTEM FOR ENERGY PRODUCTION AND EQUIPMENT TO PRODUCE
SAID ENERGY" dated 03/30/2012 under number BR 10 2012 007288 2, however, it
is different. They are separate and independent applications. In that
application,
the weight occurs over a rail while in this application the weight is fixed to
the end of a
bar. In both cases, the arrangement that surrounds a support structure, the
crankshaft,
the positive and neutral bars the same. The arc-lock system and placement of
the
locks to enable the weight to be supported on one or the other bar, positive
or neutral
at the convenient time is also the same. In both cases the lock and be placed
and
removed to manage the existing gravity energy on the weight.
Field of Invention
The present invention is in the area of energy production but focused on and
with the objective of obtaining this generation by only using the energy of
gravity. When
we think of exclusively using force of gravity to power the system, and when
this force
is present at any place and at any time and is constant, we are not referring
to
perpetual motion that will work forever while the mechanical equipment that
makes up
the system lasts. This would be the greatest innovation of recent times. It
would
promote a huge change in the world that will be referred to before and after
this
invention.
Description of related arts
For centuries the industrial development and global population growth have
been demanding the availability of more energy. Formerly, energy was obtained
from
firewood and coal, which supplied the energy necessities of the world for a
long period
of time. For a long time we also had the use of windmills that were replaced
by an
easier and cheaper means at the time, which was oil and this way these sources
were
developed till present. We continue to burn firewood and coal and this
developed into
the burning of other types of wastes. When oil became expensive, the use of
windmills
returned and this also resulted in the use of solar energy. Recently we have
the use of
fats in general that are transformed into diesel. The continuous increasing
need for
energy is also forcing the development of other smaller sources of energy. Our
field of
invention is based on this history of energy, in search of new sources of
energy.

In the last centuries thousands of attempts have been made to create a form of
using gravity. Major values were invested with this purpose all over the world
without
obtaining results. For a long time in past centuries the English government
offered a
large amount as reward for whoever created the then called continuous motion.
Objective of the Invention
Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to create a system to
produce energy as well as the equipment necessary only using the planet's
gravity as
source of energy. To achieve the objective above, we developed a conception of
different types of motions made up of a crankshaft and mechanical bars making
up
assemblies. Furthermore, these assemblies were placed side by side. In this
case
there is a 45 degrees lag between them. The movements of each assembly are
combined and synchronized. Finally, each assembly has a bar on which a fixed
weight
is supported. This bar is supported on the positive or neutral bars through
mobile locks
that are placed or removed at the appropriate time.

Detailed description of the invention
The presented equipment is built exclusively mechanical, using common
material existing in the market. We use beams and angle brackets, cut and
rolled steel
plates, worked to make up isolated assemblies, placed side by side to work in
sequence.
The invention consists in the conception and creation of an assembly where
there are bars with positive force and a bar with neutral force. Besides these
bars
there is another bar over which the weight is placed. This bar is connected to
the
system made up of an arc where the locks are placed. These locks have the
purpose
and objective of connecting the weight bar with one f the other four bars in
the
convenient position and also in the suitable time to enable the use of the
force of
gravity. To achieve this objective, I built a prototype machine where I
conducted these
force tests. Figure 1 shows the complete assembly of the force testing
equipment,
where I could prove the existence of a force other than gravity, and could
capture this
force and make it available through a torque on the crankshaft. I am now
building two
new equipments, bigger in size, one in Porto Alegre - Brasil, at avenida
Patna, 195 and
the other in Gilmam, Illinois ¨ United States, at the industrial plant of
lncobrasa Ltda.
They will be demonstration models and will each produce 30 KW. These
equipments
do not produce any type of pollution, noise or heat.
Figures 5 and 6 show the dimensions of the components of the equipment
according to the illustrative concretization of the present invention.

5 Table 1 ¨ Dimensions of the equipment according to the illustrative
concretization of
the present invention
The presented equipment and the one being built with the measures indicated
in figures 5 and 6 are designed for a weight of 1,000 kg. With this weight,
the
equipment can produce a value greater than 30KW of the generator that is being
placed and, therefore, the weight that will finally be used will be that
necessary to
generate 30KW.
In figures 3 and 4, we presented only the first assembly of bars with their
denominations. We also presented the bar that supports the weight, the arc
that
supports the locks and the crankshaft. Let us then denominate as angle ZERO
the
initial motion point to be presented, and that in figures 3 and 4 show the arm
of the
crankshaft aligned with the positive blue bar. From this point, the motion
will be
clockwise. From now on we can call the bars only blue, green and yellow, as
well as
weight support bar and crankshaft arm. The figure shows that the green bars
are
connected at a fixed point of the structure and also to the yellow bar. They
are mounted
in a way that during the entire motion the yellow bar always remains in the
vertical
position. This yellow bar is connected to the blue bar and the blue bar will
transmit the
force from the crankshaft arm. We can also see that the weight support bar is
connected in a fixed manner to the arc-locks, as seen in figures 5 and 6. This
weight
support bar and the arc-locks are mounted on the same shaft that are mounted
to the
yellow, blue and green bar but are not fished to any of these bars. The weight
support
bar, through the arc-locks, only supports itself on one of the other bars as
the locks

fixed to the arc-locks is placed or removed, according to the convenience to
obtain the
desired results.
The force of gravity exerted over the weight is transferred to the assembly
through the central shaft. This shaft, depending on where the locks are
exercising the
support, if they are on the positive or neutral arms and when, transfer more
or less
force to the blue bar. This in turn transfers the force to the crankshaft arm
that is
transferred to the crankshaft where the torque is applied.
The arrangement shown in figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 involving a support
structure, a crankshaft, an assembly of interconnected arms, on the support
structure and on the crankshaft and the weight that hangs on the weight
support
bar was specially designed and created with the objective and purpose of
making it possible to work and manage the effects of the force of gravity that
exists on the entire assembly and especially on the weight. By choosing the
radius of the crankshaft, the length of the arms and the angles, I am mounting
a
mechanical system that allows me to manage how the effects of gravity occur.
This arrangement then has the specific function of making it possible to
choose
how the force of gravity will transmit piece by piece to the crankshaft. It
also
allows me to choose through the placement or removal of locks where I support
the weight support bar and the weight itself, which can be on the positive
green
bar, positive blue bar or on the neutral yellow bar. The function of removing
and
placing the locks on the convenient bar and at the convenient time is of
extreme
important to manage the force of gravity. Also, when I choose at which
crankshaft angles the weight support bar is supported, that is, how long they
remain supported on one or another bar, I am managing the force of gravity
existing on the entire assembly and especially on the weight.
A fundamental part of the invention is the arrangement that was designed and
created to enable handling the force of gravity existing on the weight support
bar and
the weight itself. The change in proportion of dimensions between each piece
of the
arrangement can improve the yield of the invention, but the important thing is
the
formation of the arrangement that creates the possibility of choosing how to
transfer the
force of gravity that exists on the weight support arm and on the weight to
the
crankshaft.
Another fundamental part is the function of the locks that can be placed and
removed to choose the exact moment and period when they should be supported on
one or another positive or neutral bar.

Shown below is the influence of the forces of gravity when the weight bar is
supported on one of the other blue, green or yellow bars.
1 ¨ When the weight bar and the weight itself are supported on the
yellow neutral bar through the lock that is placed on the support arc of the
locks, the
force of gravity exerted on the weight will always be the same and will have
the same
value anywhere on the support bar where the weight is hanged from. Therefore,
the
value of the force of gravity that the weight support bar transfers to the
central shaft is
exactly the same. Hence, everything occurs as if the weight was hanging from
the
central shaft, even if it is really hanging from the central shaft or from the
tip of the
weight support bar as shown in the drawing. At any point of the assembly
motion, that
is, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees, the weight support bar will remain in
the
horizontal position. This is because the yellow neutral bar always remains in
the
vertical position. When connected to this bar, the weight support bar
consequently
remains in the horizontal position. With all the eight weight bars supported
on the
yellow neutral bar, the equipment will be balanced. It moves freely with any
impulse
and stops at any point.
2 ¨ When the weight bar and the weight itself are supported on the
green positive bar through the lock placed on the support arc locks, the force
of gravity
exerted on the bar and weight that transfers to the central shaft have an
additional
force of proportional value between the length of the weight support bar and
the green
positive bar. Therefore, the length of the weight support bar on the equipment
shown in
figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 is the same as the green positive bar on which it is
supported.
Hence, the force of gravity transmitted to the central shaft increases by 100%
of the
existing force of gravity on the weight. Whenever the weight bar remains
supported on
the green positive bar, it will incline in the same angle and direction of the
green
positive bar. When the assembly leaves angle zero of the crankshaft in the
clockwise
direction, the weight support bar inclines to the assembly, achieving the
lowest point.
From the lowest point to the highest point, the weight support bar will
incline in the
anticlockwise direction and when the crankshaft reaches angle zero the weight
support
bar will again be in the horizontal position. It is worth emphasizing that the
force of
gravity existing on the central shaft and its addition is transmitted to the
crankshaft
through the blue positive bar and depending on the angle of the crankshaft
arm, the
force will be proportional to the this angle. Therefore, there is a force
variation for low
and high for each position existing between the crankshaft arm and the blue
positive
bar.

3 ¨ When the weight bar and the weight itself are supported on the blue
positive bar, there is a much more complex and complicated situation in
comparison to
the support on the yellow neutral or green positive bar. Regarding the force
of gravity
existing on the weight support bar and the weight, this force will also have
an increase
or an additional force when this force is transferred to the central shaft, in
the same
way it occurs and has already been described when the support is on the green
positive bar. That is, both on the green positive bar and the blue positive
bar, the force
of gravity transmitted to the central shaft is proportional to the length of
the bars.
However, when the force of the central shaft is transmitted to the crankshaft
arm
through the blue positive bar, a very complex and complicated formation of
forces
occurs, as already mentioned.
Starting from angle zero of the crankshaft in the clockwise direction, there
will
be a negative force that will reduce as the crankshaft arm moves. During this
initial
motion, the weight support bar will incline in the same direction of the blue
positive bar.
After a certain period as the crankshaft moves, the positive blue bar inverts
its
movement of inclination and consequently the weight support bar also inverts
its
movement of inclination. Furthermore, the resulting forces of the inclination
of the blue
positive bar in relation to the crankshaft arm changes in a very complicated
manner.
Hence, when the crankshaft begins its movement with the arm on angle zero,
this arm
is subject to a negative force that reduces to the point of equilibrium and
then
increases. All this highly complicated force transmission motion that occurs
when the
weight support arm is supported on the blue positive bar will be better
understood
below during detailing of the operation.
Detailed operation of the invention
Figures 9 and 10 show the position of the weight support bar in the horizontal
position, the crankshaft angle that we denominated ZERO and that represents
the
crankshaft arm aligned with the blue positive bar. This assembly in this
position
generates a negative force (Anticlockwise) on the crankshaft arm. In this
angle zero,
the weight support bar is with the lock supported on the yellow neutral bar
and the
other lock touching the blue positive bar. During the first moment of motion,
the lock
supported on the yellow neutral bar moves away from this bar and the weight
support
bar will then be supported on the blue positive bar.
Figures 11 and 12 show that at the same time the crankshaft has its arm on
angle zero, its next arm will be at an angle of 45 degrees. At this point, the
lock of the
weight support bar will already be away from the yellow neutral bar and
supported on
the blue positive bar. This crankshaft arm on angle 45 degrees will already
have a
5
CA 02870421 2014-10-14
WO 2013/156876
PCT/1B2013/050878
9
small positive force. It is also important to note that the choice of the
force path
presented above aimed to facilitate the construction of the machine using only
two
fixed locks. If we use a force path using one or two mobile locks, we would
have higher
yield.
In figures 13 and 14, still with the crankshaft angle on zero degree on the
first
arm, we can see a third arm in the 90 degrees position. The lock of the weight
support
bar remains well away from the yellow neutral bar and the other lock remains
supported on the blue positive bar. At this point, the force of this
crankshaft arm is very
strong and positive. It alone is enough to overcome the negative force of the
first arm.
Figures 15 and 16 show that a fourth arm is on 135 degrees when the first arm
is on the zero point. The lock of the weight support bar now moves close to
the yellow
neutral bar and the other lock continues to be supported on the blue positive
bar. At
this point, the force of this arm is very strong and positive.
We then have four crankshaft arms that move in the clockwise direction, driven
by the weight that is connected to the weight support bar, which is firmly
connected to
the arc-locks, and the lock supported on the blue positive bar. These parts in
turn are
connected to the central shaft that is connected the blue positive bar, which
in turn is
connected to the crankshaft arm. The forces are then generated in each of
these
weights and reach the crankshaft. The force of gravity of the weight that
reaches the
crankshaft on the arm that is on zero degree will generate a negative force
(anticlockwise). The force of gravity of the three weights that are in front
and reach the
crankshaft on the arms that are on 45, 90 and 135 degrees will generate a
positive
force (clockwise) much higher than the negative force of the first arm at zero
degree.
Then, the crankshaft when unlocked will immediately turn in the clockwise
direction
driven by the second, third and fourth arm with forces much higher than the
first arm
with negative force.
When the crankshaft turns 14 degrees, figures 17 and 18, the fourth arm, which
began at 135 degrees, one of the locks will support itself on the yellow
neutral arm
again and the other lock that was supported on the blue positive bar will move
away
and with this, the additional force that exists due to the support of the
weight support
bar and the weight itself on the blue positive bar will end, that is, the
crankshaft arm will
continue to be driven by the force of gravity of the weight supported on the
yellow
neutral bar and will continue until the arm reaches the zero degree position
when it will
repeat the movement of the crankshaft arm that is initially at zero degree.
In the next 31 degrees of the crankshaft motion, only three crankshaft arms
will
be receiving the force from the weight support bar and the weigh itself, which
will be
5
CA 02870421 2014-10-14
WO 2013/156876
PCT/1B2013/050878
connected to the blue positive bar. At this point, the force of the first arm
at 14 degrees
will be less negative and this negativity will continue to decrease in the
next degrees.
The two other arms will continue with strong positive force.
All the other crankshaft arms, four between angles zero and 14 degrees and
5 five between angles 14 and 45 degrees, will be driven by the force of
gravity of the
weight support bar and the weight itself with a lock supported on the yellow
neutral bar
and the other lock away from the blue positive bar. Therefore, there will only
be the
force of gravity without any increase or addition.
Figure 19 shows the sequence of the first four arms that are in the initial
10 position of zero, 45, 90 and 135 degrees. Whenever the first arm moves
from zero to
45 degrees, another arm will be arriving at the zero degree position.
Therefore, we
have that at each movement of the crankshaft at 45 degrees, the entire system
moves
equally to the previous 45 degrees, and with this, the available force becomes
permanent, that is, once the equipment is unlocked, it will turn and generate
a torque
available for use on the crankshaft.
It is important to highlight that the force or intensity of this torque, which
will
repeat at every 45 degrees, will vary within the 45 degrees motion. Hence, we
will have
a force intensity at every degree but it will always be positive.
To pair this available force, reducing the lows and highs, I planned the use
of
two equipments for high generation of energy placed side-by-side and distanced
at
22.5 degrees. This method will stabilize the intensity of energy generated.
Figures 20 and 21 show what a double equipment would be with a stable
energy production within every 45 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Therefore,
when the
first equipment has the first arm on zero degree, the second is has the first
arm on 22.5
degrees and so on. In this case, we transmitted the energy from the crankshaft
through
a gear placed at the center of the two equipments. Figures 22 and 13 show that
the
crankshaft of each equipment have the shafts connected. At this connection
point,
there is a distance of 22.5 degrees and also a transmission gear of the force.
The industrial application of this equipment is broad and unlimited. The
entire
world seeks a source of producing energy without pollutants or heat that can
destroy
the atmosphere. A few days ago, the US president mentioned in his inaugural
speech
that the US will have the main goal of producing energy with renewable
resources. He
still has no idea that we will be able to produce energy with resources
eternally
available at any quantity, at any place or time, without noise, pollution or
heat. This
invention will certainly promote an industrial and world revolution in the
coming
decades.
