Title:
HYPOCYCLOID ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001059329
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A hypocycloid gear assembly (100) for converting pure linear motion to rotational motion having a pinion shaft (200), a pinion carrier (300), and a ring gear (400). The pinion shaft has a pinion journal (202), which moves in a purely linear direction. A pinion body (204) is connected to the pinion journal and is offset therefrom. The pinion body is placed inside a carrier body (320) of the pinion carrier. The pinion body rotates around the center axis of the carrier body, causing the carrier body to rotates on its own axis. An output shaft (330), whose centerline coincides with the centerline of the carrier body, rotates on its own axis and has a purely rotational motion.
