Seven times more energy output than input: Power Multiplier Device

[Russell Lee]

www.squidoo.com/pinwheelgenerator   This generator produces at least seven times the energy than it needs to run.
                Thank you, Russell Lee

No, it doesn't.

You're welcome,

The qualified individual would see that when the motor turns the large wheel, turning the drive sprocket, both the bracket and the 500 lbs of weight it holds climbs the main chain bringing a 500lb+ pull to the chain to begin energy generation. As the motor is pulling the weight up the chain toward the top it is drawing it's energy from the running generator, and a small amount from the battery.  When the weight reaches the top the motor stops and the weight/bracket slowely descends, pulling the chain to generate the 'free' energy into the battery.  This is excess energy being produced by the system, it is not needed to be used for the machine's functioning.  When the weight arrives at the bottom, the motor turns on again a moves the weight/bracket back up to the top.  If it takes 30 seconds to bring the weight to the top, and 3 minutes to descend to the bottom, the mechanism has produced almost 6 times the energy it used to operate.  The faster to the top, and the slower to the bottom, the more excess 'free to use' energy is produced.

Time to rise & fall has nothing to do with it except for determining POWER [rate of doing WORK].

WORK in both instances is Force x Distance/Displacement which is the same for both rise & fall since the mass doesn't change nor the distance traveled.

This assumes NO ordinary system losses to frictions etc which would bring it automatically to sub-unity.

N.B.1. the Work-Energy Equivalence Principle is a doctrine of physics - it says that since Work units are the same as Energy units they are equivalent & interchangeable - therefore Work [fxd] is done to lift a mass & it is given energy of position [PE] which can be released as kinetic energy [KE] to do Work.

N.B.2. Energy is Capability or Capacity to do Work.

N.B.3. example: a hanging weight driven clock is given energy of position by raising the mass - the mass looses height over time - the KE of the mass does not translate into a one for one relationship with PE lost as height decreases - the 'missing' energy is the KE of the clock parts in motion, friction losses to heat, sound, windage etc - the main loss is to 'internal' energy [PE & KE] of the atoms of the system & can be reviewed by researching the history of thermodynamics.

This mass is raised quickly & falls very slowly but it is not OU.
