forward towards both the metal spring 38 and the fixed resistance block 40 until just before or at the time powered ram 26 engages metal spring 28 at which time electric current 43 is turned off and electro magnet 44 ceases to hold the base of metal spring 38 against surface 42 such that powered ram 36 continues on freely towards fixed resistance block 40 compressing the metal in metal spring 38 beyond its bending point.
In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 1A and 1D, the movable powered ram 36 should be of adequate power that from a lateral angle it can compress metal spring 38 beyond the metal’s bending point, and more preferably the movable powered ram 36 should be of adequate power that from a lateral angle it can laterally compress metal spring 38 to its metal’s total failure. Fixed resistance block 40 should be of adequate strength to resist the pressure exerted on it via the movable powered ram 36 and metal spring 38 during the compression of metal spring 38. The electro magnet 44 should be of adequate strength to hold the metal spring 38 in position between angles 10 and 12 until metal spring 38 is engaged or just prior to being engaged by the pressure of movable powered ram 36, and more preferably the electro magnet 44 should be of adequate strength to hold the metal spring 38 in position between angles 10 and 12 until metal spring 38 is engaged or just prior to being engaged by the pressure of movable powered ram 36 and/or the resistance force exerted via fixed resistance block 40.
The construction details of the invention as shown in Fig. 1D for the movable powered ram 36, the fixed resistance block 40 comprise metal of hardness adequate to sustain repeated operation cycles relative to the metal in metal spring 38. The movable powered ram 36 may be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, composits thereof, or more preferably hardened steel of greater hardness than the metal of metal spring 38. The fixed resistance block 40 may be constructed of wood, metal, plastic, composits thereof, concrete, or more preferably hardened steel of greater hardness than the metal of metal spring 38. The surface 42 may be constructed of wood, non-ferrous metal, plastic, concrete, or more preferably of a composit of non-ferrous metal in the area of the electro magnet’s 44 magnetic field and hardened steel of greater hardness than the metal of metal spring 38 outside the electro magnet’s 44 magnetic field. The electro magnet 44 may be constructed of metal, more preferably highly conductive metal and wrapped with adequate turns of the electric current supply 43 to produce a sufficient magnetic field to hold metal spring 38 against surface 42.
The advantages of the invention as shown in Fig. 1A and 1D include, without limitation, the increased spring compaction efficiency added via holding the metal spring 38 in position between angles 10 and 12 via the electro magnet 44 in preparation for the movable powered ram 36 to compress the metal spring 38 against fixed resistance block 40.
In broad embodiment, the present invention as shown in Fig. 1D may be of any size, may comprise a plurality of electro magnets 44, may comprise a plurality of electric currents 43, may comprise a plurality of surfaces 42 all of which may or may not be non-ferrous of any shape and on any or all sides, may be operated in a horizontal or vertical inclination or any angle inbetween.
Referring now to the invention in more detail, in Fig. 2 there is shown one embodiment of a complete minimum commercial configuration 112 comprising; a power source 100, a powered ram
