Each pair of the main air compressors is disposed at one of two opposite ends of a respective one of the casings. For each casing, when the respective one of the main weight members is moved to the one of the opposite ends of the casing, each pair of the main air compressors is pressed by the main weight member to force air into the at least one air supply member.

A thermobimetal heat driven turbine having a rotor, and a series of vanes extending from the rotor wherein the vanes comprise two or more separate materials laminated together, said two separate materials having different coefficients of expansion whereby exposure to a heat source causes the two separate materials to expand at different rates thereby re-shaping the vanes to drive the rotor. The rotating turbine is thus able to generate power using direct heat from an energy source. The heat source may be radiant, convection and/or conduction type heat.

A capillary action propulsion system includes an absorbent material, at least one compression member, and a fluid. The absorbent material forms an endless path. At least one compression member compresses a portion of the absorbent material at a compression location. A fluid is disposed within the absorbent material in an unequal distribution with a first side of the absorbent material having more fluid than a second side. The absorbent material is configured to continuously rotate due to the at least one compression member compressing the portion of the absorbent material at the compression location causing the fluid to continuously remain unequally distributed within the absorbent material creating a weight imbalance in the absorbent material and a resulting moment. The fluid is configured to continuously rise, due to capillary action, within the absorbent material along the endless path from the compression location on the first side of the absorbent material.

An assembly of a number of reservoirs stacked in a helix shape and filled with certain volume of a fluid is made to rotate continuously by the effect of gravity, where each reservoir has a special geometric shape and design where in the stacked helix of reservoirs the plurality of the torque values due to gravity on one side of the rotation axis is greater than the plurality of the torque values due to gravity on the other side of the rotation axis, resulting in a continuous rotation.

The present invention is a shifting shaft mechanism which may be used with a gravitation engine to enable the gravitation engine to utilize the force of gravitation. The shifting shaft mechanism comprises a shaft, on each side of which shaft is at least one camshaft rotatably connected to the shaft and positioned between at least two fixed plates connected to each other, each of which fixed plates has an off-centre fixed plate opening through which the shaft passes through, and a mobile support wheel rotatably connected to the fixed plates that abuts the camshaft, and wherein when the camshaft rotates with the shaft, the mobile support wheel rotates counter to it. In an embodiment of the shifting shaft mechanism of the present invention, the each side of the shaft has two camshafts, three fixed plates, and two mobile support wheels.

A system includes two mechanisms each including a first support shaft equipped with a toothed wheel and with an element that is eccentric relative to the axis of rotation of the support shaft, and a second support shaft equipped with a toothed wheel and with an element that is eccentric relative to the axis of rotation of the support shaft.
