What significance would a gravity powered device have compared to all others?

The build is done . The basic principle seems to work but the devices are not working as planned. I have thought of a way to modify the design without much new material cost. The design seems to require an increase in weight but the devices do not allow for this since they are not functioning properly with the weight that is already being used. Maybe after i think about it a while i will go ahead and let you all in on the basic principle.

 think on this,there are 3 basic types of machines, levers wheels and inclined planes.
all mechanical devices are made of these in various combinations.
gears are wheels and levers, a screw is an inclined plane and a wheel,a hydraulic piston
is just another way to do a lever.
now the kicker, none of these show any sign of being anything other than unity.so how is your
combination going to show OU?changing the weights is not going to help til you can show a gain.

"He can rack his brains and work his fingers to the bones with all sorts of ingenious ideas about adding extra weights here and there. The only result would be that his wheel will get heavier and heavier - it would run longer if it were empty!" - pg 295

I am aware of that quote. It seems to imply that what we are looking for is lightness, since there are weights everywhere . My design includes a method of having weights on only one side of the wheel. I built it poorly so it doesn't function like i had planned .Maybe i can correct it . There is another aspect to it that i hadn't thought of until i saw it trying to work . I am going to incorporate the added feature.
Bessler gave us a lot of clues ,some of which I think i may be solely aware of. If worse comes to worse and i don't succeed then maybe I will disclose the idea and see what others think about it.

 Wow, I was really down in the dumps because my build failed and doubting that Bessler really even did what he said he did. I put a little more thought to it today and i came up with something that lifted me out of my doldrums ! Right now I'm excited and there's nobody awake for me to talk to about the idea . I texted that i have thought of something to my best friend but he is sleeping . I guess i can go to sleep also and perhaps sleep well with my new concept . Keep plugging away at it people is all i can say for now .
