EXAMPLE OF THE OPERATION OF A VECTORIAL KINETIC DRIVE OF AT LEAST ONE VECTOR DUCT. (FIGS. 1 TO 4)

[0025] The motor (5) rotatably drives, either directly or through a transmission (6), a disk (2) that generates kinetic energy at high angular speed, where a series of ducts (3, located on their faces, house metallic spherical bodies (16), these are located in an orderly manner from the center or axis of the disk (20) to its perimeter, in a rectilinear arrangement positioned radially, which could also be curved, thus, when the generator disk (2) rotates, spherical metallic bodies (16) acquire kinetic energy, here being those on the periphery of the disk those with the highest kinetic energy, once the disk (2) has reached the desired angular speed, it will be a controller (22) which, through the trigger (4) (the latter may be mechanical or electromagnetic type) and that is activated through a high-speed position sensor of the trigger (29) (such as laser light sensors) that will trigger one of the metallic spheres bodies (16) located in the channeling (3) of the disk, selecting it in relation to the potential energy that this spherical body is desired to have, these will have greater kinetic energy as they move away from the center or axis (20) of the disk, this will be thrown tangentially to the radius and coplanar to the plane in which the disk (2) rotates, directing it exactly to the point where the vector conduit (8) is located and therefore to the set of kinetic energy exchangers (14) and (15), to the entrance of this vector conduit are located two speed sensors (7) that can be, to mention an example, of the magnetic or infrared type, and that, with the help of a computer (19), calculate the speed of the metallic sphere to determine the deceleration speed, that is, the speed with which the transfer of the kinetic energy that the metallic sphere possesses to the kinetic energy exchangers is desired, this will be achieved by increasing or decreasing the resistance that these will oppose to the passage of the metallic sphere through them, for example, in kinetic energy exchangers of the mechanical type (14), a series of conical vane nozzles will allow the spheres to pass through only once they have impacted on them and, due to the kinetic force, have forced them to overcome the spring that holds them together and allows them to expand in order to be able to cross them, a second example of metal exchangers that is presented are those whose operating principle is magnetism (15) where a set of magnetic coils driven by a charging source and capacitor circuit, generates an intense magnetic field (24), with the help of positioning (18) and speed (7) sensors the force will be determined or energy remaining in them, these will circulate through them until between the exchangers and the spheres practically the difference in kinetic energy between them is a value close to zero, it is at that moment that the spheres are released from all resistance in order to maintain enough momentum for them to continue through the conduit and return to the disk feeder (21) and restart the cycle described above again (and again).

[0026] The time between firings of metallic spherical bodies (16) can be as short or long as required, the high rotation speed of the energy generating disk (2) and the power system (21), channeling (3) and acquisition of kinetic energy in the spheres, allow the controller (22) to make multiple shots in the direction in which the vector conduit (8) is oriented and that will produce vector impulses (23) in said direction that, due to their multiplicity, they will show up as a long pulse of uniform magnitude.

[0027] Vectorial kinetic drivers of more than one vector conduit (8) like the one shown in FIG. 4, achieve a great impulse in different directions, this is very useful when being installed in vehicles, since they can move without the need of air as a medium for their impulse, direction or support, as currently required by all aircrafts, finally, the installation of this development in space vehicles will allow safe, permanent and powerful propulsion without the requirement of the use of highly flammable fuels with which rocket engines are currently fed, whose weight and cost are very high, and ironically, once the fuel runs out are thrown away.
