Gravity "wheel" concept...

[iacob alex]

     ....can open an interesting question.

         If the gravity free fall ,has some similarities with a strong incoming wave to the beach,we can have an equivalent design ,for a possible PM: the wave power plant (captor+ oscillating "column").

         If the gravity free fall is exactly as a water cascade ( a continuous fluid flow with an ever increasing velocity) ,then what can be an efficient,adequate design to collect the gravity/ via cascade/ power,so to aplly this to a possible PM ( "closed" solid state "flow" )?!

            All the best! / Alex

   .....can open the next questions:

         -how can be a "wheel",or something like this,that "charges" adequately the free fall of a high water cascade?!

         -if we have it,can this be a suggestion for a possible PM?!

                 All the best! / Alex

a Gravity to mechanical function doesn't need to be a wheel, see the Mercury Fountain on You-tube

Mercury has a higher capillary gap and is thermal pressure sensitive so that such a fountain can work on a perpetual basis so long as the Mercury remains in its liquid state, the hotter the day the faster the Mercury flows.

this fundamental action can be used to make a Liquid fall forever or at least a very long time, so long as the Mercury is safely respected it is pretty safe.

Mercury will drive a wheel with more torque than Water in a water wheel generator type system.

follow these guide lines if you want to be successful in making a Gravity assisted device to produce electricity.

the thermal pressure helps the Mercury push itself out of the Capillary tube so that it breaks free from its surface capillary bond, it will continually flow until its elasticity becomes to solid.

these functions work, we should stick with what works.

Gravity is a carrier of kinetic energy, it doesn't contain any real energy other than what is stored, these two extra functions can be used to put additional energy back into Gravity for mechanical use.

convert; Capillary & Thermal Pressure to mechanical Gravitational Kinetic energy.(recycling itself in the process).

it would work something like this.

Mercury liquid metal is 13 times denser than water. It's a lot of fun to
think about how to substitute mercury for water in a buoyancy machines.
The forces though would really build up, though, to potentially
dangerous levels. Since mercury vaporises at room temperature
it really is a forgiveless experimental medium.
