    "goal": "Provide a safer and more efficient water propulsion system and generate electricity using inertial and hydraulic principles.",
    "problem_addressed": "Conventional propellers are hazardous and relatively inefficient; existing generators claim low efficiency and high cost.",
    "concept_summary": "The invention combines a hydraulic motor with reciprocating pistons and an inertial generator that uses eccentrically mounted weights moving on a cardioid trajectory. The motor creates thrust by moving a piston back and forth, producing water jets. The generator claims to produce far more electrical power than the input power by exploiting inertial and gyroscopic effects.",

        "Inventor Bobby Amarasingham successfully tested his AOGFG 12 kW generator in December 2010. This device includes rotating weights and electric drives that produce constant torque. When starting, the drives consume about 500 watts (acceleration) and then only 50 watts, while the generator delivers 12 kilowatts to the useful electrical load.",
        "Rolls-Royce engineers have tested this device and prepared contracts with manufacturers in China.",
        "The Amarasingam generator is quiet and rustles like a conventional air conditioning system.",
        "The principle takes advantage of inertial (gyroscopic) effects resulting from the rotation of eccentrics, so such machines can be much more compact than simple unbalanced wheels."
