Fernando`s Force multiplier

Hi All,

Here is the first run of my replication, no load, slow speed...

@Ron:

Is it correct, you will connect a dynamo (generator) to the second yellow wheel ? And then one hopes that the generator produces more power than was used to drive the electric motor (connected to the first yellow wheel) ?

This is probably a pretty dumb question. I just want to be sure that I understand the whole concept correctly.

Any way, I am impressed by the size of the machine and the craftsmanship!

Greetings, Conrad

@TK and Ron: Another question concerning the (alleged) functioning of this device.

The device should have a greater output in case one puts some weights on the bars connecting the yellow wheels?

It's an interesting system. If the con rod throws are the same on both wheels, the torques and the rotation rates should be the same. But if the throws are different.... say the output wheel (the one that's not belt-driven) has a shorter crank throw. The rotation rates will still be the same, 1-for-1 ... but what happens to the torques?

I dunno, I've just started thinking about this system, and I've confused myself already. Let me have another cup of coffee and see what percolates.

ETA: Are the short crankthrows the same length (radius, arm, whatever you want to call it) on both wheels? If they are the same, then a 1-1 pulley arrangement might be a good comparison test. If they are different, this makes the action different than a belt-and-pulley arrangement, because even though the speeds are different the wheels will still make 1-1 rotations, whereas with a belt and different sized pulleys they won't.

I think something will break in case the "the short crankthrows" have a different length, because the axles of the two yellow wheels are fixed.
