    2. (a) Name: Patil Abhijit Brijalal
    (b) Address: C/o: Life Insurance Corporation of India, Khetiya Road, Near Ambaji Mandir, At/Po/Tq: Shahada, Dist: Nandurbar, Maharastra State, India. PIN Code: 425409

    3. Description of the invention.

    The following specification describes the nature of the invention:-

    FIELD OF INVENTION:

    This invention relates to generating unidirectional force.

    First and principle object of this invention is to generate unidirectional force through a mechanism in which points from which opposite reaction begins in two or more systems (defined below) are connected to each other in such a way that opposite reactions in these said systems, according to Newton's third law of motion, are halted and only actions are allowed to take place in said systems. These actions are used to generate unidirectional force in controlled way in desired direction.

    Second object of this invention is to provide a device for a body so that this body can remain stationary (in inertial frame of observer on planet) in space or air, just above surface of planet, under influence of gravitational force of planet, with absolutely no contact of said device and body with planet whatsoever. In other words this device will not allow the body or the device itself to fall on planet even in vacuum without using aerodynamics or propellant.

    Third object of this invention is to provide unidirectional force generating device to a vehicle so that this vehicle can move in space, on or above surface of any planet, in air or gas, in and above surface of water without having to carry and expel reaction mass to propel it or applying aerodynamics.

    Fourth object of this invention is to provide a mechanism to a moving body or moving vehicle so that the velocity or direction of this vehicle or body is changed in desired way.

    Fifth object of this invention is to provide a unidirectional force generator for wide ranging applications or products useful for industrial and commercial purpose.


    PRIOR ART:

    Newton's third law of motion is stated as, "when two bodies interact, the forces on the bodies from each other are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction". In other words, for every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

    Whenever we see any body accelerating, said law is working behind the motion of that body. Some matter must get pushed in backward direction, if we want to accelerate some body in forward direction. Due to this, rockets have to carry and expel reaction mass to accelerate themselves in space. Mass of the fuel which rockets has to carry as propellant, is one of the biggest problems in interstellar space exploration.

    Likewise on earth or any planet, if we want to keep some body at some distance just above earth's surface, like that of stationary helicopter in air, constant supply of energy and air is needed. Using conventional means, it is not possible to keep some body stationary just above earth's surface in vacuum. Any body just falls on earth or any planet in absence of gas and propellant.

    SUMMARY OF INVENTION:

    This invention overcomes above-mentioned problems by generating unidirectional force. Disclosed is a mechanism to accelerate a body in desired direction in controlled way by applying unidirectional force. This mechanism only needs potential energy to accelerate a body and not reaction mass or aerodynamics, which is a used in conventional vehicle.

    In this mechanism three well established natural laws are used. Said laws are,

    (1) Newton's first law of motion: If no force acts on a body, then the body's velocity can not change; that is, the body cannot accelerate.
    (2) Newton's second law of motion: The net force on a body is equal to the product of the body's mass and the acceleration of the body. If two or more bodies are connected to each other and if forces of different magnitude are acting on said bodies in different directions in such a way that vector sum of forces is zero at point of connectivity, then these bodies can not move in different directions.
    (3) Newton's third law of motion: When two bodies interact, the forces on the bodies from each other are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

    In this disclosure, system is defined as a physical structure in which two particles (bodies) moves towards each other or away from each other due to stored elastic potential energy in between two particles (bodies) in accordance with Newton's third law of motion. For example, a stretched spring or stretched rubber band constitutes system because every molecule in spring or rubber band is pulling other molecule with force of equal magnitude but opposite in direction due to existing spring force. So both ends of spring or rubber move towards each other due to stored elastic potential energy in spring or rubber band. Likewise if spring or rubber is compressed, both ends of spring/rubber will move away from each other. Two magnets or electromagnets facing each other also constitute system because they can push or pull each other due to existing force of attraction or repulsion.

    When two bodies A and B are accelerating towards each other or away from each other and if said acceleration of these two bodies A and B is due to existing restoring force or force of attraction or repulsion in between these two bodies A and B, then in this case body A and B constitute system in this disclosure. This existing force of attraction or repulsion can be spring force, magnetic force or gravitational force. And force of attraction or repulsion in said bodies A and B can exist only due to stored elastic potential energy in between these two bodies. Hence there must be existing source of elastic potential energy in between two bodies A and B to constitute as system in this disclosure.

    Using above laws, following scientific principle has been devised and disclosed.

    When in two or more systems points, from which the opposite reaction in said systems is supposed to start, are connected to each other in such a way that these points are forced to travel in different directions, then due to connectivity, the opposite reaction in said systems is halted and only action takes place in these systems. Applying laws of Geometry, these actions can be used to generate unidirectional force in desired direction in controlled way to accelerate mass, which may include mass of unidirectional force generating device.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT:

    Now turning to the drawings and first considering FIG.1. This figure shows basic idea embodying the present invention. If some person is standing on platform 9 and he wants to lift himself and whole structure shown in FIG. 1 upward (without aerodynamics or propellant), he need to push slightly point A 1 of left arm 5 and point D 4 of right arm 6 along imaginary horizontal space line 7 towards hollow pipe 8 i.e. center of this imaginary space line 7. If he could do so by his hand or some mechanism (which has absolutely no contact with earth whatsoever), point B 2 and point C 3 will be pushed in upward direction. And with point B 2 and point C 3, hollow pipe 8, platform 9 attached to hollow pipe 8 and the person himself, will be lifted upward. That means the person and whole structure shown in fig.1 will be up in space stationary with absolutely no contact with earth whatsoever.

    Now turning to FIG. 2. In this figure two springs, of same stiffness, are shown. Left spring 10 is connected to right spring 14 at point E 11 in such a way that both springs make some angle at point E 11. Now the basic central idea goes as follows.

    Point A 15 of left spring 10 is in your left hand and point D 16 of right spring 14 is in your right hand. Connecting point E 11 is pointing towards sky i.e. this structure is vertical. If you pull point A 15 of left spring towards point A 1 of left arm 5 and if you pull point D 16 of right spring 14 towards point D 4 of right arm 6 in such a way that "angle AED does not change", then point E will remain stationary in space. That means the spring force in both stretched springs is directed only towards point E 11. Even though we are pulling both springs towards earth, point E 11 does not move towards point A 1 or point D 4 because this point E 11 can not move in two different directions. Hence point E 11 just remains stationary in space and does not move towards earth. The spring force at point A of stretched left spring 10 and at point D of stretched right spring 14 is "unidirectional force". Due to this unidirectional force, any mass connected to point A 1 of left spring 10 and point D 4 of right spring 14, will now move in only one direction i.e. towards point E 11. This constitutes basic central idea of this invention.



    Now turning to FIG. 3, basic structure shown in FIG. 1 is attached to basic unidirectional force generating structure shown in FIG. 2. Point A 1 of left arm 5 is attached to lower end of left spring 10 and point D 4 of right arm 6 is attached to lower end of right spring 14 in such a way that left arm 5 can rotate freely around point A 1 and right arm 6 can rotate freely around point D 4. Bolt 12 is connected to point E 11 and is passing through hollow pipe 8. The unidirectional force in both springs 10 and 14 is acting on point A 1 of left arm 5 and point D 4 of right arm 6. Due to this unidirectional force, point A 1 of left arm 5 and point D 4 of right am 6 are pulled towards point E 11. Due to this pull, force is exerted on point B 2, point C 3, hollow pipe 8 and platform 9. The upward resultant force acting on point B 2 and point C 3 is controlled by nut 13.

    The mass of platform 9 is greater than mass of basic unidirectional force generating device shown in FIG.2 just to give stability to whole device shown in FIG.3
    in such a way that upper side of device does not tilt. The resultant upward force due to spring force in springs 10 & 14 at point B 2 and point C 3 is greater than total downward gravitational force acting on whole device as shown in FIG.3.

    When we rotate the nut very slowly so that this nut moves in upward direction over bolt, the point B 2 and point C 3 also moves in upward direction. And with point B 2 and point C 3, hollow pipe 8 and platform 9 also moves in upward direction while point E 11 remains in space where it was. This causes the whole device shown in FIG. 3 to be stationary in space with no contact of whole device with earth or planet whatsoever. If the device shown in FIG.3 is in space, we can attach any desired mass to point B 2 and point C 3 so that it moves in desired direction in controlled way. If the mass is moving, we can change it's velocity or direction in desired way by applying unidirectional force.

    What is disclosed is best known method and principle mechanism to carry out the invention. However, applying the same principle mechanism, we can construct a device, which might look visibly completely different from shown in FIG.3. For example,

    * Upper ends of left spring 10 and right spring 14 can be connected by horizontal rod instead of single point E 11. As long as opposite reaction starting from upper ends of both springs 10 and 14 are travelling in different directions, it does not matter whether upper ends are connected by single point, horizontal rod or any body of any shape.

    * Instead of stretched springs 10 and 14, stretched or compressed springs, shock-ups, rubber bands, zigzag metal rods, circular or spiral shaped systems, magnets or electromagnets, devices working on hydraulics or air pressure can be used.

    * What is necessary is source of elastic potential energy or potential energy in system, in which both ends of system are moving or made to move towards each other or away from each other, in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, due to stored elastic potential energy or potential energy in system.

    * In FIG.3, only two systems 10 and 14 are shown in two dimensions. Instead of two systems, three or more systems can be arranged in three dimensions forming cone like structure.

    * The upper ends of every system can be connected to horizontal rod; circular, triangular, square shaped rod, any suitable structure or platform. Lower ends of every system can be connected to one end of separate arms like left arm 5 and right arm 6. The other end of these arms may be connected to hollow pipe at point B 2 and point C 3 in three dimension.

    * Point B 2 and point C 3 in FIG. 3 are supported by hollow pipe 8, platform 9 and ultimately by earth or planet. But instead of hollow pipe or platform, any structure which has mass, can be connected to point B 2 and point C 3, which is ultimately resting on earth or planet initially and which we want to move in desired direction by applying unidirectional force.

    * In FIG.3, angle AED can range from zero degree to 180 degree. Stiffness, rigidity, masses and a length of springs 10, 14, or any system, arms 5, 6 depends upon the application in which this device may be used.

    * In FIG.3, we have used stretched springs 10 and 14 as source of elastic potential energy. But we can also use compressed springs as source of elastic potential energy and by changing angle EAB and angle EDC in accordance with trigonometry, we can move point B 2 and point C 3 in desired direction.

    * In FIG.3, to give stability to both springs 10 and 14, we can pass two straight rods through the center of both springs parallel to length of springs. The rods can be passed in such a way that one end of each rod is connected to each other at point E 11 and other end of both rods are free at point A 1 and point D 4 respectively. Or these springs can be inside pipe just to give stability to spring.

    Disclosed is a scientific principle and mechanism to generate unidirectional force. From this disclosure, it is clear that any person skilled in art and engineering can think of different designs, using different systems but applying disclosed scientific principle and mechanism to generate unidirectional force without compromising spirit and scope of this invention.

    There was a patent granted by the US Patent Office about 40-50 years ago for another such device using a different mechanism. It consisted of two weighted wheels mounted on a frame: One wheel rotated clockwise; The other counterclockwise.

    That device did not work either.

    I am not sure about current US patent laws, but 50 or so years ago they included the following.
    • To be patentable, a device had to be new/original and not a "mechanic's combination of known devices." It need not be a workable device, and a demonstration of a working model was not required. The lack of a requirement that a device work allows for totally unworkable devices to be patented. This results in scams. A patent is granted for some silly device, and people are told that the US government has endorsed the device. The dumb ones are talked into investing money.
    • An amendment to the original patent laws required that a working model be presented with an application for a patent on a perpetual motion device. This requirement was enacted to save the patent office a lot of time. In the 19th century many patents for perpetual motion devices were issued due to the above rule. Each new application required a search of hundreds of existing patents to determine if the new application was for an original device. Patent Office clerks petitioned congress for an amendment to patent laws which would avoid the time pent on this foolishness.
    The bootstrap device patent resulted in many people being cheated out of large sums of money. It was alleged that NASA would buy the device for a huge sum when some minor problems were solved.

    I saw the patent and the associated drawings. They were vaguely convincing if you knew little or nothing about physics and the basic laws of mechanical motion.

    I wonder if this device is the start of a similar scam. The device cannot work as described.

    Abhi:

    The description is very hard to follow without the figures. Can you please attach them to a post?

    Have you built this device? Does it, in fact, float in the air, unsupported and expending no energy, as you claim it should? If so, it won't be long before you get the Nobel prize, so let me be the first to congratulate you.

    If it doesn't work, or you haven't built it, please tell me why not.

    The second purpose on your description seems flawed to me. Can you elaborate on "inertial frame" and its compatability with remaining above the surface of the planet. You do know that something "stationary" relative to the surface of the Earth is NOT in an inertial frame, right?

    There is a voice in the back of my mind that is saying this might work. My interpretation, in a nutshell, is that you are trying to reverse the laws of thermodynamcs (convert randomness into directivity). Is this the idea?

    Where did you find this second law of Newton? It seems overly complicated (like you're trying to include the possibility for rotational degrees of freedom but you never explicitly address the issue).

    You know that charged particles can repel each other, right? Are you referring to this repulsion as due to elastic potential energy. I suppose you could say that, but it doesn't seem very consistent with the conventions with which I am familiar.
