Abstract: An energy generation apparatus uses centrifugal force to generate energy in a controlled manner. The apparatus includes a dual function input shaft and output shaft rotatably attached to opposite sides of a housing defining an axis of orbit, an output gear fixed upon the output shaft, an input sprocket rotatably mounted on the output shaft, and at least two frame gear assemblies, each having a frame gear and at least two weight gears. The frame gears rotate about their centres and also orbit around the output gear in response to an input from the input sprocket.

Abstract: A force or energy amplifying apparatus (10) including a pair of frame gears (24), the gears (24) being mounted rotatably on radial arms (16, 17) for rotation about an output shaft (14), an input sprocket (38) for coupling to an input to cause rotation of the radial arms (16, 17) and orbital movement of the gears (24) about the output shaft (14), the gears (23) carrying weight gears (31) which upon orbiting movement of the gears (24) cause rotation of the gears (24) and an output gear (20) on the output shaft (14) coupled to the gears (24) to extract energy therefrom. Part of the energy from the output shaft (14) is returned to the input to maintain operation of the apparatus (10).
