Abstract: A simultaneous multiple rotation interface where a series of discs rotate about an eccentric camshaft. Each disc is engaged with the other by a series bearings embedded within each disc. As the camshaft rotates, each disc alternatively engages an outer shell so as to rotate the shell in the same direction as the shaft, albeit at a reduced speed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward an apparatus for continuous speed variation of an output member with respect to a primary input member. In particular, the present invention provides a device having an output that rotates at reduced speed and increased torque relative to its prime input through the low friction, rolling engagement of its members, or alternatively, at increased speed and reduced torque for overdrive applications. Furthermore, the speed of the output member may be varied continuously and infinitely between the apparatus's lowest and highest ratio via a secondary input member and its low friction, rolling engagement with the device's members.

Abstract: A method for capturing energy from mechanical actions associated with recovery of underground fluids, and for improving the economic feasibility of low producing, but viable, oil wells. The present method captures energy associated with an oil well pump device and waste water as each fall under the influence of gravity. This energy is converted into a premium form, stored in an easily verified and metered form, and sold on a market, in accordance with a legislative scheme.

Abstract: A device for actuating a reciprocating recovery apparatus for recovery of underground fluid. The actuating device has a centrally aligned input component, that transversely receives an output component through a central aperture, and is engaged with a driving mechanism. Torque is increased about the central output component as a series of axially aligned, but centrally offset, lobes push a corresponding driver disc around the central output at reduced velocity and increased torque. Each driver disc moves in eccentric fashion, yet remains engaged with a corresponding, centrally aligned take off member, each of which is further in combination with the central output component.

Abstract: A variably operable oil recovery system having a variable motor and reducer in mechanical communication with one another where each shares a common axis of rotation. The reducer receives the drive on a high side where each has the same rotational speed, and the reducer maintains a spooled cable on its low side, which rotates at reduced speed and increased torque. The drive and reducer combination move between a first (forward) mode and a second (reverse) mode to alternatingly release and wind a spooled cable extending between the reducer low side and a below surface reciprocating pump. The system is further characterized by an electronic component combination that can continuously manage operational parameters such as stroke length, stroke speed, and power consumption.

Abstract: A device for increasing torque about a central member as a series of driver discs eccentrically rotate about a central shaft input member and alternatingly engage an output component via a low-friction, rolling engagement mechanism. Each disc is engaged with the other through a series of rings and dowels partially embedded within each disc. As the central input shaft rotates, each disc alternatingly engages the output component so the output, and central member, rotate with increased torque, albeit at a reduced speed.
