The Patterson Gravity Powered Engine

[skippy1974]

I have developed a set of principles that can be used to develop a Gravity Powered Wheel.

I would appreciate it if as many people as possible could view a PPT presentation I have posted at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/free_energy/files/PattersonGPE/

I have received a lot of criticizm and a little bit of constructive criticizm, but I have not yet been presented with a good reason that the principles are "junk science".

I do not have the ability or the resources to build the machine I have designed using the principles, but I have tested each part individually and every test points to a viable working machine.

Thank You in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

KAP,

What makes the weights roll sideways? It looks like the sub-arms tilt? But what makes them tilt up and lift the weights? And how do you keeps the sub-arms horizontal but then tilt them to roll the ball?

I have software I can use to simulate a virtual wheel of your design, if you can provide details of how the mechanism would work.

I've analysed hundreds of posible wheels. Many were very similar to yours. To find the average torque on a wheel you add together the horizontol X coordinates (zero being the wheel center) of the weights at each angular rotation of the wheel. Assuming the sub-arms are always horizontal and assuming the weights somehow get moved sideways along the sub-arms the torque on one side will equal the torque on the other side.

It's a forum where gravity wheels are duscussed and analysed.

Within the next week, (I will try to do it today, but I have a crazy work schedule and may not be able to do it until later this week) I will post a detailed written description of the machine I have in mind.  Since I have no artistic ability, I can't provide a drawing.  The written description has been copyrighted, but not any drawings.

Thank You,
KAP

Hi KAP,

The folks in free_energy have given you some very constructive criticism. Please
listen to them. This web site that someone posted
http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/unwork.htm
has enough information for you to learn why your design won't work. Please visit
the web site above; it will be a good resource for you.

Take care.

I appreciate your input.  The web site you directed me to is one that I studied extensively, I even sent a msg to the author of the web site asking him to personally review my design.

In all the informaiton contained in the site, he does not address using a combination of rotaional force and redirecting force (it is easier to puch a car than to pick it up) to create the desired effect.  I have a feeling based on everything I have been reading, what I need to start looking for is suggestions on the cheapest way to build the parts needed for me to do it mayself.  Maybe after a few years getting a part here and anotherone there I can build a complete model and either prove that I need to leave inventing to the professionals or become wealthy beyond my furthest imagination.

Any way you look at it, I will still seek to find someone that sees something and either cinvices me that I am wrong (it hasn't happened yet) or is willing to help me build one.

Thanks all,

KAP
