20090072771 | Magnetic motor generator having a floating flywheel - A magnetic motor generator that produces electric power by rotating a one piece magnetic floating flywheel assembly that is operated by a linear induction motor and repelled upward by a stationary natural magnet. The floating flywheel assembly magnetic axel rotates inside magnetic collar bearings, which have repelling stationary magnets to center the axel at speed. The floating flywheel assembly rotors move inside generator stators to generate electric power. The floating flywheel assembly has no physical contact with other components to prevent bearing losses at speed. A timing computer controls the operation of the linear induction motor, assesses the speed of the floating flywheel assembly and fires only when necessary to maintain rotation. The moving components are enclosed in a vacuum chamber to prevent wind resistance, or windage losses at speed. Surplus electric power can ether be stored/used by the system or used to supply a load. | 03-19-2009 |
20100071819 | Solid Vacuum Tire and Wheel Assembly - A solid vacuum tire and wheel assembly incorporating a vacuum backpressure to adhere the tire to the wheel hub, allowing it to achieve safe and reliable high-speed operation. The system incorporates a soft tire core that contracts into place after a vacuum is applied, contracting and adhering tight onto the wheel assembly hub by filling any void, and without unnecessary spare tire equipment and no air pressure to maintain. Vacuum channels in the wheel assembly hub direct and apply even vacuum backpressure to the tire. A vacuum valve is installed into a vacuum chamber, which acts as a conduit to direct vacuum pressure throughout the system. The tire incorporates a possible concave shaped tire tread configuration, comprised of common tire tread rubber and a steel belt. The inner tire core material comprising of solid or porous rubber, jell or a combination of materials provides a solid non-pneumatic core structure. | 03-25-2010 |
20120193005 | Solid Vacuum Wheel and Tire Assembly - A solid vacuum wheel and tire assembly incorporating a vacuum to adhere a solid tire in place against a wheel rim, allowing for safe and reliable operation. The assembly incorporates a flexible solid tire core which contracts into place after a vacuum is applied, contracting and adhering directly onto the wheel rim and filling a void between the rim and tire, having no air pressure to go flat or release if punctured. Vacuum channels installed along the wheel rim direct a vacuum seal to the tire core. A vacuum valve is installed into a vacuum chamber, which acts as a conduit to direct the vacuum throughout the assembly. The solid tire incorporates a possible concave shaped tire tread configuration, tire tread rubber and a steel belt. The solid tire core material comprising of solid or porous rubber, jell or a combination of each provides a solid flexible non-pneumatic core structure. | 08-02-2012 |
