Tangential Energy and the End of the Operating Cycle
The operating cycle of RTIP involves a clear sequence of events that ensures the conservation of tangential energy and the efficient extraction of radial energy. This section analyzes how RTIP completes its cycle and the mechanism of energy recovery.
1. Maintaining Tangential Energy During the Cycle
✔️ During radial transition, tangential energy remains nearly constant due to the extraction of radial energy. ✔️ Extracting radial energy eliminates the component that would reduce tangential velocity, allowing conservation of angular momentum. ✔️ The formula for tangential energy is:
✔️ Since tangential velocity is nearly constant, tangential energy is optimally used for conversion and energy recovery at the end of the cycle.
2. Completing the Cycle and Recovering Energy
✔️ After the bodies reach the outer radius, the forces balance, and the system enters a controlled deceleration phase. ✔️ Electromagnetic braking captures the surplus tangential kinetic energy and transforms it into recoverable electrical energy. ✔️ The total energy of the system is maintained, and internal forces are redistributed in dynamic balance. ✔️ The extracted energy can be used to restart the cycle or delivered to an external consumer.
3. Determining the Power Generated by RTIP
✔️ Total power is determined by the time of a complete cycle:
✔️ The shorter the cycle, the higher the generated power. ✔️ By optimizing radial energy extraction and tangential energy recovery, RTIP maximizes energy efficiency. ✔️ At the end of each cycle, the system returns to its initial position, and the process restarts without significant losses.
4. Manifestation of Inertial Mass in the Tensor and Conversion into the Stress-Energy Tensor
✔️ The inertial mass accumulated in the system creates a stress-tension tensor:
5. Synthesis of Energy Forms in the Complete RTIP Cycle
To fully understand the energy conversion of the RTIP system, it is necessary to clearly identify all energy forms involved in the complete cycle:
