A generator (100) and/or machine (110) generating mechanical energy and functioning on the principle of exploitation of an energy allowing the existence of centrifugal forces (Fc) on masses (120) being displaced in rotation, into an effective elliptic trajectory (150), about a respective shaft (128) freely rotatably mounted on a plate (122) itself freely rotatably mounted on a main shaft (202) freely rotatably mounted on a fixed chassis (140).

A gas ejection apparatus includes: a cylinder having a rotating member that rotates within the cylinder; a motor coupled to the rotating member of the cylinder and that causes gas to be compressed inside the cylinder and to be ejected from the cylinder by causing rotation of the rotating member; a control circuit board that controls the motor; and a case in which the cylinder, the motor and the control circuit board are disposed. The case extends in a planar direction and has side surfaces that are orthogonal to the planar direction. The motor and the cylinder are arranged adjacent to each other in the planar direction of the case. The control circuit board is disposed adjacent to and substantially parallel to one of the side surfaces of the case.
