Abstract
Apparatus for mechanically transferring energy from a source to some form of energy converter that includes a series of gear sets placed in meshing contact between the source and the converter. Each gear set includes a liftoff wheel that is coupled to a transfer wheel by means of liftoff units which realign the internal forces acting upon the system when the wheels reach or exceed liftoff speed. The realignment of forces neutralizes the internal forces and conserves the amount of energy needed to sustain the transfer operation. The energy saved is accumulated in the system and used to do work.
