Abstract: A power transmission unit which translates reciprocating motion to one-way rotary motion through a rack and drive gears connected through one-way clutches to a gear train.

Abstract: A multiple air motor drive unit in which the motors are mounted in series to permit the exhaust air from the first motor to be used in driving the second motor. The exhaust air from the second motor assists in driving the third motor. The exhaust air from the third motor assists in driving the fourth motor. A line extending from the intake side of the first motor provides additional air pressure to the intake side of each of the succeeding motors so that each motor is operating under the same operating pressure. The motors are geared to gears on a common shaft which extends through a universal joint to the apparatus to be driven.The unit may be used to help power a motor vehicle if desired.

Abstract: A shock absorber drive unit for motor vehicles which translates the vertical reciprocating motion of the under carriage of a motor vehicle to one-way rotary motion through a rack and drive gears connected through one-way clutches to a gear train. Alternators driven by belts from the gear train provide sufficient drag to produce a shock absorbing action for the unit while simultaneously producing electricity for charging batteries or other uses.
