Abstract:

An inventor from southern Poland has developed a mobile system in the form of a "perpetuum mobile" wheel. The inventor is looking for a co-operation partner interested in starting serial manufacturing and co-operation in searching for possible applications of the developed device.

Description:

An inventor from southern Poland has developed a mobile system in the form of a "perpetuum mobile" wheel. The device is made of a base with vertical supports attached. There are guides attached to the supports, and the axle of the wheel hanging over the base rests on those guides. Once the wheel is put to motion in any position it rotates round its axle due to an electronic system, causing rolling of the wheel axle along the guides. When the wheel axle approaches the end of the guides the wheel stops smoothly, changes the direction of its linear movement to an opposite one and rolls towards the other end of the guides. The same situation repeats on both ends so the wheel remains in continuing motion. The controlling electronic system is mounted inside the device together with the battery. Building supports of various lengths to the base and changing of the moving element's appearance are possible. The wheel put in motion is very expressive and exceptionally decorative. This original technical gadget can have multiple applications, e.g. in advertising, education and interior decoration.
