Now turning to the drawings and first considering FIG.1. This figure
shows basic idea embodying the present invention. If some person is
standing on platform 9 and he wants to lift himself and whole
structure shown in FIG. 1 upward (without aerodynamics or propellant),
he need to push slightly point A 1 of left arm 5 and point D 4 of
right arm 6 along imaginary horizontal space line 7 towards hollow
pipe 8 i.e. center of this imaginary space line 7. If he could do so
by his hand or some mechanism (which has absolutely no contact with
earth whatsoever), point B 2 and point C 3 will be pushed in upward
direction. And with point B 2 and point C 3, hollow pipe 8, platform 9
attached to hollow pipe 8 and the person himself, will be lifted
upward. That means the person and whole structure shown in fig.1 will
be up in space stationary with absolutely no contact with earth
whatsoever.

This boils down to lifting oneself up by one's bootstraps. You are
missing the reaction forces in your freebody diagram that says this will
not work.

Now turning to FIG. 2. In this figure two springs, of same stiffness,
are shown. Left spring 10 is connected to right spring 14 at point E
11 in such a way that both springs make some angle at point E 11. Now
the basic central idea goes as follows.

Point A 15 of left spring 10 is in your left hand and point D 16 of
right spring 14 is in your right hand. Connecting point E 11 is
pointing towards sky i.e. this structure is vertical. If you pull
point A 15 of left spring towards point A 1 of left arm 5 and if you
pull point D 16 of right spring 14 towards point D 4 of right arm 6 in
such a way that “angle AED does not change”, then point E
will remain stationary in space. That means the spring force in both
stretched springs is directed only towards point E 11. Even though we
are pulling both springs towards earth, point E 11 does not move
towards point A 1 or point D 4 because this point E 11 can not move in
two different directions. Hence point E 11 just remains stationary in
space and does not move towards earth. The spring force at point A of
stretched left spring 10 and at point D of stretched right spring 14
is “unidirectional force”. Due to this unidirectional
force, any mass connected to point A 1 of left spring 10 and point D 4
of right spring 14, will now move in only one direction i.e. towards
point E 11. This constitutes basic central idea of this invention.



Now turning to FIG. 3, basic structure shown in FIG. 1 is attached to
basic unidirectional force generating structure shown in FIG. 2. Point
A 1 of left arm 5 is attached to lower end of left spring 10 and point
D 4 of right arm 6 is attached to lower end of right spring 14 in such
a way that left arm 5 can rotate freely around point A 1 and right arm
6 can rotate freely around point D 4. Bolt 12 is connected to point E
11 and is passing through hollow pipe 8. The unidirectional force in
both springs 10 and 14 is acting on point A 1 of left arm 5 and point
D 4 of right arm 6. Due to this unidirectional force, point A 1 of
left arm 5 and point D 4 of right am 6 are pulled towards point E 11.
Due to this pull, force is exerted on point B 2, point C 3, hollow
pipe 8 and platform 9. The upward resultant force acting on point B 2
and point C 3 is controlled by nut 13.

The mass of platform 9 is greater than mass of basic unidirectional
force generating device shown in FIG.2 just to give stability to whole
device shown in FIG.3
in such a way that upper side of device does not tilt. The resultant
upward force due to spring force in springs 10 & 14 at point B 2 and
point C 3 is greater than total downward gravitational force acting on
whole device as shown in FIG.3.

When we rotate the nut very slowly so that this nut moves in upward
direction over bolt, the point B 2 and point C 3 also moves in upward
direction. And with point B 2 and point C 3, hollow pipe 8 and
platform 9 also moves in upward direction while point E 11 remains in
space where it was. This causes the whole device shown in FIG. 3 to be
stationary in space with no contact of whole device with earth or
planet whatsoever. If the device shown in FIG.3 is in space, we can
attach any desired mass to point B 2 and point C 3 so that it moves in
desired direction in controlled way. If the mass is moving, we can
change it’s velocity or direction in desired way by applying
unidirectional force.

What is disclosed is best known method and principle mechanism to
carry out the invention. However, applying the same principle
mechanism, we can construct a device, which might look visibly
completely different from shown in FIG.3. For example,

 Upper ends of left spring 10 and right spring 14 can be
connected by horizontal rod instead of single point E 11. As long as
opposite reaction starting from upper ends of both springs 10 and 14
are travelling in different directions, it does not matter whether
upper ends are connected by single point, horizontal rod or any body
of any shape.

 Instead of stretched springs 10 and 14, stretched or
compressed springs, shock-ups, rubber bands, zigzag metal rods,
circular or spiral shaped systems, magnets or electromagnets, devices
working on hydraulics or air pressure can be used.

 What is necessary is source of elastic potential energy or
potential energy in system, in which both ends of system are moving or
made to move towards each other or away from each other, in accordance
with Newton’s third law of motion, due to stored elastic
potential energy or potential energy in system.

 In FIG.3, only two systems 10 and 14 are shown in two
dimensions. Instead of two systems, three or more systems can be
arranged in three dimensions forming cone like structure.

 The upper ends of every system can be connected to horizontal
rod; circular, triangular, square shaped rod, any suitable structure
or platform. Lower ends of every system can be connected to one end of
separate arms like left arm 5 and right arm 6. The other end of these
arms may be connected to hollow pipe at point B 2 and point C 3 in
three dimension.

 Point B 2 and point C 3 in FIG. 3 are supported by hollow
pipe 8, platform 9 and ultimately by earth or planet. But instead of
hollow pipe or platform, any structure which has mass, can be
connected to point B 2 and point C 3, which is ultimately resting on
earth or planet initially and which we want to move in desired
direction by applying unidirectional force.

 In FIG.3, angle AED can range from zero degree to 180 degree.
Stiffness, rigidity, masses and a length of springs 10, 14, or any
system, arms 5, 6 depends upon the application in which this device
may be used.

 In FIG.3, we have used stretched springs 10 and 14 as source
of elastic potential energy. But we can also use compressed springs as
source of elastic potential energy and by changing angle EAB and angle
EDC in accordance with trigonometry, we can move point B 2 and point C
3 in desired direction.

 In FIG.3, to give stability to both springs 10 and 14, we can
pass two straight rods through the center of both springs parallel to
length of springs. The rods can be passed in such a way that one end
of each rod is connected to each other at point E 11 and other end of
both rods are free at point A 1 and point D 4 respectively. Or these
springs can be inside pipe just to give stability to spring.

Disclosed is a scientific principle and mechanism to generate
unidirectional force. From this disclosure, it is clear that any
person skilled in art and engineering can think of different designs,
using different systems but applying disclosed scientific principle
and mechanism to generate unidirectional force without compromising
spirit and scope of this invention.
