Most Energy Efficient Gear-transmissions with Renewal Energy Source or Stop Ignoring the Physics Laws that Influence Motion (It is brand new inventions) Archimedes (circa 287-212) said: “Give me a point of support and I will turn around the Earth by a lever” more than two thousand years ago. However the existing tradition is to focus only on the power of a power source to move vehicles because the use of levers, i.e., gears in a transmission, for moving vehicles is too unconventional. It is much easier to increase the power of an engine or motor by an additional number of cylinders and increasing its diameter or length of wire than to redesign a transmission to be the source of converting momentum into motion. May be engine with increased diameter or number of cylinders more save energy? This is not true. Potato cannon use the basic principle behind any reciprocating internal combustion engine. The energy is translated into potato motion that stops after getting distant dependent to amount of energy. Therefore, increasing physical gas volume is increasing gas consumption. There is Encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org also proves: It should be noted that despite common usage, "fuel efficiency" is not a synonym for "fuel economy" or "gas mileage". For example, power output from Chrysler's 3.9 L LA V6 engine jumped from 125 hp (93 kW) to 180 hp (134 kW) in 1992 due to the addition of fuel injection and a freer-flowing intake manifold. However, improvements in fuel efficiency achieved over the last 20 years have not been translated into improvements in fuel economy of more-powerful engines”. Maybe Archimedes is not relevant? This can be easily examined. A shift gearbox of nine shafts has a capability to reduce the power of power source or the revolution of engine shaft up to 5x5x5x5x5x5x5x5=390,625 times. It may reduce power of locomotive engine up to 30 hp. It looses only 2%x8=16% energy because a pair of gears wastes energy only 2% that is least volume among all mechanical and other systems that deliver the energy according to Physics Laws . However, existing methods of transmission design do not have the freedom to create a transportation system, heavy-duty equipment, and industrial machinery having a shift gearbox with long levers and very small power source. For example, a typical locomotive consumes one gallon of hydrocarbon fuel for less than one mile of distant. A large cruise ship achieves only about thirty inches of distance per gallon!!!. Maybe the planetary or hydraulic transmissions that are used by heavy-duty equipment propulsions save energy and reduce emission of engine? No, they are not. Please you open books. The heavy-duty equipment propulsions use well-known energy inefficient planetary or hydraulic transmissions comprising few parts that require excessive energy in work process to overcome additional frictions and movements according to Physics Laws. This is because locomotives and cruise ships from use basic transmission designs found in land-based vehicle propulsion systems used by individuals - cars and trucks. An automatic transmission torque converter and continuous variable transmission are more popular in America than a manual gearbox that requires too much attention to making complex hand movements when vehicle has speed. The torque converter disk or two pullers and belt mechanism are very simple to manufacture. But how do you get high torque in a timely manner or lower revolution of a shaft? According to the First Newton‘s Physics Law of inertia, friction brakes installed inside of transmission case capability only to cut high angular moment inertia of converter disk or two pullers and belt masses. However, this brake system is too inefficient in work and maintenance. Is this hard technical problem solved very easy? Yes, it is. The engine power is increased so that the function of existing transmission to help timely the power source to save energy by means of higher torque is eliminated. Each USA lightweight vehicle is indirectly ignoring Physics Law of lever. These transmissions work as clutches. However, weight of full loaded heavy-duty truck (max. 80,000 lb) prevents attainment of the potential of the shift gearbox function and the average power of its engine (400 hp) is normal according to use of existing shift gearbox and acceleration system of engine. The limiting or eliminating of engine shaft acceleration reduces engine heat and opens opportunity to increase speed of full loaded heavy-duty truck on uphill. Do you want to see how your car uses power inefficiently? You can compare the full weight and average power engine power of your car, typically 3,000 lbs and 250 hp, to weight of full loaded heavy-duty truck (80,000 lb) and the average engine power of 400 hp. Other way is your full loaded car must move from stop at first gear then second gear, and “drive” as heavy-duty truck movement. Some may think that the greatly increased engine power for a car is necessary to achieve fast maneuverability of the light weight vehicle on road? This is not true. Too much time is required for the gas to the engine or magnetic field for the motor to increase the torque up to a sufficient magnitude. In comparison, hard gear pairs are capable of increasing speed more quickly by use of overdrive speeds. Other argument, the first steel vehicle of Carl Benzes has engine with power 0.9hp at January 29, 1886, patent #37435, Germany. At present time, USA vehicles have increased fuel consumption than Europe vehicles more than 2 times. Unfortunately, it is result to put focuses to research and development only power of engine and motor by USA National Laboratories of Department of Energy that never research and development machine levers as are transmissions. Therefore, USA Government does not limit for example power of about 270,000,000 vehicles, heavy-duty equipment, machine tools, conveyers, crafts etc according to their weights and functions. What will do to protect life on Earth from excessive emissions of fast increasing number of machines and other dirty technologies in each year? The Physics Laws and unbelievable-believable mathematical systems offer two ways are below. The first way is the 260 “mutually definite units of energy for forced energy economy” (MDUFEE) shift gearbox apparatus-accelerator families (useful in over 1,000 designs) are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,191,676 and part of full patent pending application 20080047380 that is available on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website www.uspto.gov. This revolutionary technology uses well-known parts produced by existing manufactures. Simplification of shifting mechanism design opens opportunity to use the manual regime switch to the semi-automatic or full automatic regime. Use of a sufficient number of overdrive speeds of FEE units limits or eliminates the need for a conventional acceleration system. Put another way, the engine shaft has a low revolution up to idle speed in the processes of vehicle acceleration and movement. This allows for a reduction in power requirements and engine wear and permits use of a wider variety of materials for the engine. The unusual MDUFEE gearbox design produces revolutions of engine shaft in speed ranges similar to those of an electric motor. For example MDUFEE gearbox produces 144 forward and 72 reverse torques and overdrive speeds by 27 gears - two gears less than the number of gears for the existing heavy-duty truck gearbox to achieve only 18 forward and 2 reverse speeds. Seven unusual compounds MDUFEE gearbox families are able to drive part time front wheels and rear wheels and then drive two-three pairs of wheels (4x4 - 6x6) both in forward or backward directions. One state-of-art design has two engines with two small power sources used only for acceleration of a vehicle; thus further cutting fuel consumption and emissions. My innovative invention is a win –win for both the manufacture and the consumer, as well as for the protection of environment from the excessive emissions. The revolutionary method of designs creates MDUFEE shift gearboxes with significantly reduced manufacturing costs. Each design disclosed has lower number of gears to achieve a desired range of torques than in gearbox designs using conventional approaches. Also, a lower number of shafts are needed in gear boxes comprising four and more shafts. This design opens the opportunity to use plastic or non-metal material in transmissions. The reducing power and heat of engine, using renewal energy of source permits increased fuel efficiencies of over 50%. Furthermore, reduced fuel consumption translates into reduced emissions. In addition, each vehicle - whether it is based on land, water and air - has improved maneuverability and renewal energy source. The second way is to use the MDUFEE gearbox designs in the wind energy technology. It opens opportunity to create the patent pending wind portable apparatus designs that will be installed on each building and will work at any condition of wind power. There is huge number of jobs. Please stop ignoring Physics Laws that prevent disasters in life of our planet among 300 billions stars. May be the increased number of disasters on Earth is the serious signs of star Creator? Taking action now will help rebuild our economy, and will restore our country's reputation across the globe. I'm looking forward to seeing some real results. I hope people find this post useful and link to it or send it to friends.
