Title
(EN) INTERTIA WHEEL COUPLED WITH A LEVERAGE TRANSMISSION
(FR) ROUE D'INERTIE COUPLEE A UNE TRANSMISSION A LEVIER
Abstract
(EN) An apparatus is provided which includes an inertia wheel rigidly attached to a center axle, such that the wheel and axle adapted to unitarily rotate about a center axis. An axle support is adapted to rotatably support the center axle such that the inertia wheel and center axle may freely spin about the center axis. A generally planar leftside cam supporting structure is laterally positioned from the leftside of the inertia wheel such that the leftside cam supporting structure and the inertia wheel are evenly spaced from each other in a parallel manner. The leftside cam supporting structure includes a leftside inverse cam. Also, generally planar rightside cam supporting structure is laterally positioned from the rightside of the inertia wheel such that the rightside cam supporting structure and the inertia wheel are evenly spaced from each other in a parallel manner. The rightside cam supporting structure also includes a rightside inverse cam. A plurality of transfer follower arm assemblies are further provided interconnecting the leftside and rightside of the inertia wheel to the leftside and rightside cam supporting structure. Rotational movement of the inertia wheel is at least one of conditioned, controlled, regulated, governed and influenced as a function of a profile of the leftside and rightside cam.
(FR) L'invention concerne un dispositif comprenant une roue d'inertie fixée de manière rigide à un essieu central de sorte que la roue et l'axe puissent tourner ensemble autour d'un axe central. Un support d'essieu est conçu pour supporter rotatif l'essieu central de façon que la roue d'inertie et l'essieu central puissent tourner librement autour de l'axe central. Une structure de support de came de côté gauche généralement plane est disposée latéralement par rapport au côté gauche de la roue d'inertie de sorte que la structure de support de came de côté gauche et la roue d'inertie soient espacées l'une de l'autre de façon égale et parallèle. La structure de support de came de côté gauche comprend une came inversée de côté gauche. En outre, une structure de support de came de côté droit généralement plane est disposée latéralement par rapport au côté droit de la roue d'inertie de sorte que la structure de support de came de côté droit et la roue d'inertie soient espacées l'une de l'autre de façon égale et parallèle. La structure de support de came de côté droit comprend également une came inversée de côté droit. Une pluralité d'ensembles leviers de transporteur de transfert relient le côté gauche et le côté droit de la roue d'inertie à la structure de support de came de côté gauche et de côté droit. Le mouvement de rotation de la roue d'inertie est conditionné, commandé, régulé, gouverné et/ou influencé en fonction d'un profil de la came de côté gauche et de côté droit.
