Vacuum Draft Lawnmower
The "Vacuum Draft Lawnmower" is an alternative to electric plug in electric mowers that operate on electrical storage batteries. The design system compounds hydraulic draft rate and velocity of oil to increase rotation while retaining "work potential" upon an "on-board" fuel less generator also yielding rotational capacity to then mow the lawn. The system is safer than internal combustion lawnmowers with additional safety features that makes the self propelled lawnmower easier to use.
The design is a fuel less electric "Hybird" motor system using retained "work" potential in the form of vacuum to produce electricity. Increasing agriculture and reducing the cost associated with the water availability is obtainable on small platforms at relatively low cost and this design system will be able to provide the service. Since this
lawnmower has the ability to produce fuel less torque the adaptation for water pumping via the system's hydraulic pressure feed P.O.T. ( point of transfer ) can, in remote applications, increase water availability for plant life adding to natural carbon dioxide conversion. The system also produces excess Ac (alternating current electricity) for use in farm application or to power an "off - grid" dwelling...
This system continues to work due to the effect of surface area then in the dual component vacuum tank. The surface area of the oil exposed to vacuum then then at an operational level. the exit or exhaust oil flow then with the return oil in process has a reduced retention level due to the vacuum. The return oil then having total vacuum level effecting the return oil. This effect in applied physics in tandem with the reintroduction of electrical current allowing for perpetuation or rotation.

* Note - The larger oil return pipe causes a "tilt" effect causing the larger diameter oil flow pipe to then pull into vacuum while drafting the oil from the vacuum tank by nature of volume under suction ie... "the resistance is less upon the 3/8" dia. pipe from the vacuum tanks drain whereas the oil return pipe has a greater diameter effected by total vacuum level.

* Note - The magneto then working in tandem with the system r.p.m. balance circuit will by number 70 then cause stable idle according to the system throttle positional setting (not the hand grip throttle) to then use increased electromagnetism in the magneto's field coil to slow the system causing a "stable idle". The field coil the causes the magneto to act as a resistance break.
* Note - all bus and wire connectors connect to the system logic / power management system number
60 ( includes sensor system and electricity feed wires).
* Note - the tiller tool attachment may then mount to the forward position yet be used with the lawnmower in
reverse making it a "rear tine tiller" - requires additional handle bar attachment to then be walking
forward in front of the lawnmower / tiller while tilling. Fuel less agricultural till capacity aids in solving
global hunger cost effective!
* Note - if the wheels, number 55 (sum of two), then are connected to torque converters and subsequent
larger generators, the generators with magnetos then would provide sufficient electrical production
to move an electric cargo rail train.
The handle bar accelerator right side hand grip then is center positioned (neutral) by spring tension to automatically "return" to the neutral position by spring tension. When the system is in Ac (alternating current) electricity generating mode the circuit then wired to cause resistance in the dynamo field coil as the the dynamo is a "compound dynamo" with wire coil winding causing the permanent magnet to also act as an electromagnet. The electronics " bay" electronics "module" is also equipped with a voltage regulator and receptacle rated
at 120v Ac output. The receptacle is an "all weather" / "weather resistant" outlet with weather cover.
Description
The design drafts hydraulic fluid under vacuum to then cause, "by larger diameter return oil flow pipe open to high vacuum", rotation of the Dc generator (dynamo) with the clutch engaged causing the produced electrical current re-introduced to the systems electric motor (number 38) electrified with the manual clutch engaged yields continual rotation. All wire bus clips the dock to number 60 electric control system "bay".
The "Start " sequence is as follows; the dual component vacuum tank is caused to have high vacuum with the foot pump and or by the electric vacuum pump (optional). While this function is being incurred the clutch engagement lever, number 66, is then compressed by the left hand to cause, by the hydraulic pump number 26, a "hydraulic draft" (suction) effect" then advancing the total system factoring the electricity re-introduction circuit. The dynamo, number 25 powers the electric motor, number 38.
The "run away effect" is then controlled by the potentiometer switch, number 70's electrical current intensity level and if required... The valve number 31 is then caused to open by slide lever valve positional lever, number 70 who's positional switch also contains a potentiometer that controls the electricity reintroduction circuit path then feeding electricity to the main electric motor, number 38 from the electricity generating Dynamo (number 25), and a short "timed" run of electrical current from the battery with the battery current directed to the main electric motor number 38.
With valve number 31 closed the "fluid lock" ( oil within the main line oil return pipe) will cause the system to rotate when the valve, number 31, is opened causing the oil within the flow pipe, number 11, effected by high vacuum within the dual component vacuum tank. This causes system rotation and production of electricity by the dynamo's rotation that is volt regulated and controlled by potenitometer (within number 70). The electricity is then directed to the system main electric motor number 38.
The battery "start up - jump up" is optional but may make the consumer a bit more satisfied with the design.. While the design is in operation the rechargeable battery then is charging able to be used in other yard tools like string trimmers, hedge clippers etc.... The battery short run start upon electrical feed from the battery than controlled / initiated upon the slide switch number 70 in addition to the run reintroduction potentiometer.
The magneto can the act as an electromagnetic break causing a balanced "system idle" by increased field coil magnetic intensity causing increased resistance by traversing magnetic fields with the magnetism induced by electricity (electromagnetism). The magneto's resistance "break" function extrapolates information from the r.p.m. sensor and current level setting from with in the lever, number 70's potentiometer, and is electricity current intensity level controlled automatically by electronic circuit.
The current level produced and used is then increased by the system throttle position, letter "D". The system's forward motion then controlled by cable directing pressurized oil to the P.O.T. (point of transfer) hydraulic impeller system rotating the wheels.
The system's electronics bay, number 60, will contain an artificial electricity ground system to remove any stray electrical inductance or static electricity from becoming an electrical shock hazard. A system's final weather casing docks atop the "engine / motor" system... also acting as a shock casing to then prevent injury due to manufacturing defect, ie... the weather casing thick enough to prevent injury the weather casing contains small 12v Dc electric vacuum pump and a solar panel upon the exterior surface. Opening the weather casing requires center flex rod extraction and handle bar cross piece, number 16 prior to forward tilt of the weather shield outer casing / cover.
The motor / generator system then is mounted to the lawnmower "deck" with electrically insulated bushings between the components. The lawn mower (lawnmower deck and operator handle have an additional electricity ground system using an artificial electrical ground (plasma box) with inductance warning lamp upon the handle bar. This will warn the operator is electrical inductance has occurred and as a safety feature causes an "All Stop" in the system logic processor, number 60.
The P.V. ( photovoltaic solar panes will then continually electrically charge the lithium battery that operates the vacuum pump then causing greater vacuum in the dual component vacuum tank via one way valve upon the vacuum level max vacuum air inlet dampener, number 4. The electric vacuum pump may be made to cause automatic actuation then referencing an electric signal produced within the vacuum meter, number 5.
The basal vacuum level then to exceed the mechanical resistance so that the suction of the "return oil" is causing a "short run time" as vacuum seeks equilibrium. While this is being incurred, the electrical drive system with the switch, number 69, positioned to the "on" position then causes continual rotation motivating the lawnmower grass cutting blade in circular rotation.
The mower then has the ability to mulch and or to eject the lawn clippings to a grass collection bag that mounts to the operators handle. Side port lawn clipping ejection (the lawnmower's lawn clipping ejection port then a spring tension flap - closed in the natural position that allows lawn clipping collection bag to mount to receive the clippings).
