Gravity motor concept design

[solardark]

hi all. I have a concept design that I have been trying to fault for almost a year now. the system seems capable of producing a consistent unidirectional torque. I was hoping someone here may be interested in investigating the design. i have attached pictures of the system showing the way the end product would look. feel free to input figures in the drawing as you see fit.

note: the flat side of the supports is the chord the of inner circle. the sector angle of that chord is 90 degrees at the center. pic 6 shows that clearly. Also a four armed system (pic 6) would result in a minimum torque value of  zero at the position shown. the six arm system keeps torque consistently above zero.

I really hope someone with good workshop experience can try this out and let us all know if it's workable.

Hi Solardark
Thats a nice idea, but plese descride ones , how the
weight on the right side climbes up ,after passing the Push station.?
I can see no spring or counterweight or cam or else.

good luck

its very similar to ones ive seen before

the problem is that the torque generated is equal to the amount of energy it takes to move the weight closer to the wheel

and in actuality it would be less due to friction

the spring has to have an elasticity ratio equivalent to the weight of the roller, again a little extra for friction

this means the torque of the weight will have to overcome the force of the spring

even if you could get the roller as close to the wheel as possible you would still not be able to get enough torque to compress the spring

if you get a weaker spring, it would not be able to push the roller back out

There's nothing new in this idea, it's been discussed extensively in this forum. On the other hand, it doesn't mean a thing that it is shown in the museum of the unworkable devices. The fact that the machine in that museum doesn't work only shows that those in the museum weren't able to make a working machine, not that a working OU machine based on this priciple cannot be made.
