Abstract
In recent decades, enthusiasts and researchers from all over the world have invested a lot of energy and time in trying to develop linear propulsion systems using the inertial force generated by two masses revolving in opposite directions. The authors present an original concept for the propulsion system of a mobile platform by using the inertial force generated by two eccentric bodies that are revolving in opposite directions. Based on this approach, a wheeled vehicle was designed, built using additive manufacturing techniques, and finally tested. Validation of the concept and verification of the analytically derived kinematic parameters were carried out by 3D modeling and motion simulation performed in SolidWorks 2023. It was concluded that the initial position of the eccentric bodies determines the direction of movement. Moreover, a favorable correlation of the eccentric bodies’ masses with the entire platform mass is able to ensure the movement at an oscillating but permanently positive speed.
