An energy conversion method transfers energy from celestial bodies, including the Earth, to a vehicle apparatus by way of a gravity assist, a descent towards the surface of the celestial body, or both. The energy transferred to the vehicle apparatus may be utilized by: a kinetic energy converter apparatus converting the kinetic energy to any form of kinetic energy, potential energy, or both; doing work on any end use process or power plant apparatus immediately, later, or both; storing the kinetic energy, the potential energy, or both on an accumulator apparatus to be utilized on site, at another location, or both.

A torque conversion device has: a second rotor having a second rotating shaft parallel to a first rotating shaft of a first rotor; link portions having first mounting portions attached to the first rotor, and second mounting portions attached to the second rotor, the link portions interposed between first rotor and second rotor; and weights mounted to the link portions and located on either side of the first mounting portions. The distance between first mounting portions and second mounting portions is equal to the distance between first rotating shaft and second rotating shaft, and the distance between first rotating shaft and first mounting portions is equal to the distance between the second rotating shaft and the second mounting portions.

A system for producing a relative centripetal force differential includes a turntable having a plurality of telescoping spoke elements arranged along radial lines around the center of the turntable. Each of the spoke elements has a fixed end attached to the turntable and a moveable free end opposite the fixed end. As the turntable is rotated the free end of each spoke elements is moved such that it is at a minimum distance through a minimum distance region, at a maximum distance through a maximum distance region that is opposite the minimum distance region, and increased or decreased through transition regions on either side of the minimum and maximum distance regions.

An apparatus for capturing energy of a working mass may include two or more immiscible liquids having different densities. The two immiscible liquids may include a predetermined proportion of oil and water. The apparatus may include a supporting structure, a hermetically sealed vessel, and an electric generator driven by fluid flow. The hermetically sealed vessel may have an elongate shape housing the working mass such that the working mass moves within the hermetically sealed vessel. An electric generator driven by fluid flow may be housed within the hermetically sealed vessel and having an inlet and an outlet. The electric generator driven by fluid flow may be configured to produce electric power as the predetermined portion of oil and water passes into the inlet and out of the outlet in response to a movement of the hermetically sealed vessel.

An inertia-based energy storage device with a fluid pressure regulating function and an energy storage method. The device comprises a vacuum vessel (1), a pressure regulating vessel, a pressure transmission member, a kinetic energy recovery device and a hydraulic generator. The energy storage method comprises: providing a fluid which is liquid or compressed gas; accelerating the fluid and thereafter decelerating the fluid; recovering deceleration kinetic energy of the fluid in decelerating the fluid; in the process of accelerating or decelerating the fluid, regulating an pressure of the fluid from a first pressure to a second pressure depending on a rate of change in velocity and a state of motion of the fluid. The energy storage device can regulate the pressure of fluid during the inertia-based energy storage process and extract the pressure energy of fluid after pressure regulation.

An Electric Automobile that operates on the simple principal that the wheels on it turn at High Rotations Per Minute while traveling. Thus, when the wheels are connected to an axle that spins generators; large amounts of electricity are generated. All this electricity is used to recharge the automobile's battery pack. This Process is a continuous cycle and allows the automobile to never have to use fuel or a recharge station. While in movement it constantly recharges itself.
