Inventors:

John W. von Greyerz - Boynton Beach FL

International Classification:

F16H 368

US Classification:

475296

Abstract:

This disclosure is directed to a new concept in torque-type propulsion through a totally mechanical, self governing, low to high gear, trans-planetary torque impeller capable of infinitely and automatically matching the input shaft or motor power output capability to the output shaft load.

Appl. No.:

8/683209

Inventors:

John W. von Greyerz - Boynton Beach FL

International Classification:

F16H 374

US Classification:

475257

Abstract:

A trans-planetary mechanical torque impeller utilizes at least two sets of input planetary pinion gears of differing sizes, which are supported by a planetary carrier. These input planetary pinion gears rotate with respect to primary and secondary annulus gears which, in turn, drive bevel gears which engage a differential pinion gear to drive an output shaft. The output shaft load causes the torque impeller to automatically vary its gear ratio to match the input shaft or motor power output capability to the output shaft load.
