  • Magnetized foucault pendulum electrical energy source
    Patent number: 8299636
    Abstract: A magnetized Foucault Pendulum electrical energy source having a gear transmission connected between the rotatable Foucault Pendulum and an electrical generator. A portion of the current from the generator is transmitted to an electromagnet which is periodically energized to repel a mass on the end of the pendulum to maintain the pendulum in continuous motion. The remaining portion of the electrical current is transmitted to individual households or to a power grid.
    Type: Grant

  • Balancing mechanism for an equilibrium game
    Patent number: 7900931
    Abstract: A balancing mechanism for an equilibrium game wherein a hub is connected to a tripod by a universal joint. A plurality of radially extending arms having cups on their outer ends are connected to the hub. A depending pointer is connected to the hub and extends downwardly therefrom to a Cartesian coordinate graph positioned centrally of the tripod. A plurality of weights are placed in the cups to cause the pointer to become positioned at a certain X,Y point on the graph.
