Description

Description
Title of the Invention:
Method of Mechanical Pulsed Power Transmission and
System Thereof A) TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present invention generally relates to a field of mechanical power transmission and particularly related to the pulsed power transmission method. The present invention more particularly relates to the mechanical pulsed power transmission method and system transmitting power in the form of power pulses in order to harness gravitational energy during the power transmission process.
B) BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[002] If the hammer of mass 10 kg is gradually applied on a metal nail, the nail doesn't get affected that much; but when a hammer with the same mass of 10 kg is applied to the nail suddenly, the nail penetrates quickly. This shows that when the mass is applied suddenly on the object then the force generated is always much more than the force exerted by that same mass when applied gradually, in both applications mass remains constant, it means that at the instant of impact the gravitational acceleration acting on hammer generates a maximum possible force on the head of the nail, and the same force can be utilized to improve the magnitude of torque (Torque T= Force F * Radius R) and thus the overall magnitude of power.
[003] According to the theory of mechanical pulsed power transmission, when the mass is applied suddenly on the object, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration ‘g’ acting on that mass becomes twice at the instant of impact with the object resulting in the generation of maximum possible force. This generated force can be utilized to enhance the magnitude of torque getting transmitted during the power transmission process.
[004] The presence of Gravitational energy can be felt everywhere in the universe and is free. Though Gravitational energy is a form of energy we need engineering to harness and utilize it to enhance the performance of machines we have. From ancient times, we are utilizing and enjoying this gravitational force in our daily activities, but we keep ignoring it. [005] In conventional power transmission using belt drives, gear drives, and chain drives, the output shaft delivers a power output always less than the amount of power given as input because of the losses during the power transmission process. In conventional continuous power transmission, we transmit power continuously for 360 degrees from the driving shaft to the driven shaft, and hence we cannot harness the gravitational energy. [006] The above-mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages, and advantages are addressed herein, as detailed below.
