Abstract

The embodiments disclose a method including separating kinetic speed from energy using a transmission platform, directing energy in the kinetic form at a predetermined speed from 0 to 100%, employing the transmission platform with fewer pieces to increase overall efficiency at a lower cost to produce, and integrating the transmission platform with combustion engines and electric motors to achieve more efficiency and greater performance.

Claims (34)

1. A method, comprising:

separating kinetic speed from energy using a transmission platform;

directing energy in the kinetic form at a predetermined speed from 0 to 100%;

employing the transmission platform to increase overall efficiency; and

integrating the transmission platform that is adaptable for performance with combustion engines and electric motors; and

directing a predetermined speed of the energy to a planetary gear carrier gear using a speed governor coupled indirectly through a planetary carrier.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rotating a sun gear to divert kinetic speed from energy into two paths.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rotating a speed governor with a planetary gear rotated by a power source input shaft to regulate the kinetic speed to a predetermined speed.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising operating hydraulic pumps actuated with a rotating lobed disc cam to push against roller bearings coupled to the hydraulic pumps to pressurize a hydraulic fluid to drive a carrier gear gate to reach a predetermined speed.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising calculating a hydraulic pump pressure using a control box computer device to regulate the speed of output energy.

a planetary gear coupled to a power source configured to receive input energy from the power source;

a speed governor coupled to the planetary gear configured to regulate speed from the power source;

a control box coupled to the speed governor configured to calculate a predetermined speed to regulate the speed governor speed;

a power source coupled to the planetary gear configured to convey energy to the planetary gear to divert the energy into two paths; and

a transmission platform formed from the planetary gear, speed governor, and control box configured to regulate speed and energy to devices powered from the power source.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the speed governor consists of a lobed disc cam and roller bearings connected to hydraulic pistons.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the power source consists of combustion engines and electric motors.
