  Halogen Drive Array Kinetic Energy Recovery System (HDA KERS)

    Status: Mechanical design researched and developed
    Feature: Continious variable kinetic energy transfer system without friction drives


    Brief Introduction

    A dual Halogen Drive array is configured with one electric motor to control power transfer direction.
    The primary drive shaft of the engine is connected to the input shaft of the HDA KERS by a binary
    clutch. The electric motor is sped up first to make the input shaft match speed of engine before
    the binary clutch engages to transfer power to an internal flywheel within HDA KERS.

    The electric motor then reduces its speed and this couples energy from engine through input shaft to internal flywheel.

    As the speed of the input shaft is progressively reduced, a point is reached where no more
    reduction in engine speed is desired. The electric motor is slowed to a halt and aggressively
    reversed at this point,  and that allows the flywheel to rotate with its acquired energy
    while the input shaft is free to maintain its idle speed.

    When the reverse spinning motor is slowed again, the flywheel returns its energy back to the input shaft.
    When the motor slows to a halt the flywheel and engine are connected for maximum power transfer.
    As the motor speeds up in the forward direction, less and less energy is absorbed
    by the flywheel until the motor reaches input shaft speed. At that point there is no
    load on the input shaft from the flywheel. Any further increase in speed of electric motor is transferred
    to the engine. The binary clutch could disengage instead, and allow the engine
    to operate without KERS.

    The remarkable breakthrough feature of HDA KERS is the control and direction of energy transfer
    maintained not by traditional mechanical means but by speed of rotation of an electric motor.

    This is some what simialr to the breakthrough feature of the Halogen Drive itself, whose gear reduction
    feature is controlled by speed of an electric motor.



  Formula 1 2015

   Formula 1 racing 2015 is sheduled to introduce larger KERS and compulsory electric propulsion down pit lanes.

   We have the HDA KERS to meet the KERS challenge, and plastic version of the magnetic pulse detonation wave engine
   world's best electric motor to satisfy any Formula 1 aspiring team. We also have the Halogen Drive to
   make smooth mixing of electric power and engine power in an F1 car as well as smooth continious
   variable reduction within the Halogen Drive that allows the engine to operate at maximum efficiency at all times
   without sudden changes experienced in gear shifting operations

  Wafer Thin Harmonic Drive

     Status: Mechanical design researched and developed, acrylic working protypes available


   
   
     The main design feature of this drive is its thin make up and low manufacturing cost.
     The wafer thin harmonic drive is built from 5 layers of sheet material such as brass or steel.
     The sheet material is stamped out (or laser cut), stacked and then reamed for volume production.
     The motor shaft  can directly connect to the wafer thin harmonic drive reducing the need for an extra coupling.
     The harmonic drive can be designed to be stackable like a planetary gearbox for higher gear reduction.

     Patent Update

     The preliminary patent search has turned into a very positive report that is likely to result in granting of patent.
     Anyone wishing to invest in this technology can now do so in the knowledge their investment will be protected.
    
     The flat harmonic drive will bring revolutionary changes to gearbox design. At its simplest it will allow gearboxes
     to be constructed from 5 layers of flat sheets of material. Being flat, they can be cut with laser which eliminates complex
     tooling at a stroke. They can also be puched out for high volume production. This type of gearbox does not require
     complex post processing after machining if used in low speed environments.

     Being a harmonic drive, they are nearly impossible to reverse drive which is important for robot arms.
     If power is cut, the robot arm will not reverse the drive or go forward and drop its load. The same requirement exists with
     lifting motors to lift cargo, elevator motors, and motors for cranking large civil structures such as bridges.
     An elevator for example could drive on an electricfied rack and if power is cut, there is no chance the motor will reverse
     and fall.

     The gearboxes can be etched with foil material to make exceptionally powerful micro harmonic drive gearboxes routinely.
     Mass produced complete gearboxes with 1mm size are within simple reach.
     Below 0.1mm is also within reach if photolithography is used. Partners are actively sought with decent manufacturing
     facilities to get this technology out into the market place as rapidly as possible.

  Fractal Robots

       J. Michael's invention - work still in progress
       The old web site at http://www.ecu.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk is still awaiting rebuild to be added here.

      

          - News: US military research wing DARPA now has entire division dedicated to copying and building fractal robots
                        A large number of clone projects previously funded by DARPA have now grown up and can be found under various headings including "modular" robots (search www.google.com)
          
          (Personal attacks on internet - the high levels of funding explains the 1000's of systematic personalized attacks posted on Internet forums against J. Michael from researchers.
           After all, what would they do if J. Michael didn't invent some robots for them and who would fund a gravy train to post all that drivel? )   



Fractal Operating SystemTM

        The Fractal Operating SystemTM is unlike any operating system before it, in that it is designed to run on fractal hardware and as such the operating system is fractal like its underlying hardware.
        This is the invisible half of the fractal robot hardware that has been talked about but not published due to lack of time.
        It is radically different to everything mentioned in this time line http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-reconfiguring_modular_robot 
        Watch this space for future announcements.
