Big try at gravity wheel

[Grimer]

Below you see a host of optimum moisture content curves.


If we join up the maxima then we have a curve of optimum moisture contents analogous to the Brachi. If we move to the right we de-optimise. If we move to the left we de-optimise.


So we can see the Brachi as curve of optimum velocity. Move away on either side and we de-optimise.


Fastest average speed - or its inverse - shortest journey time.

Hi,
   oh where is Al when you need him?
Grimer said to a question I asked "of course you can", I would have loved a comment from Al
like "no you can't"

Minnie asked,

What I wanted to know was if you could build on the increase in height by reversing
the cycle.

Grimer replied:

Of course you could but it would be rather a fiddly process.


Below is a diagram I posted on BesslerWheel.com last October.


One would need a series of pendulums ready at each arrival station ready to take the bob up against the gravity gradient. It would be hopelessly impractical for generating energy though, obviously.

Of course you can't.... because there is no increase in height in the first place.

(Momentum is conserved, after all.)

Grimer has expressed several ideas that go against conservation principles.  His diagram indicating that one could supposed daisy chain a series of half-circular / half-cycloid pendula to get higher and higher apogees both contradicts his earlier diagram and violates:  gravitational fields as conservative, momentum as conservative, and energy as conservative.  It is all fine and well that Grimer has these extraordinary ideas.  I don't see how anyone can take them seriously when he refuses to state or even confirm any statement of a hypothesis, offer any evidence, or even stay on subject.  His ladder diagram here, violates conservation of energy even if the "ersatz gravity" energy he claims could be shown to exist.  According to this diagram, he can extract that energy and keep it, while it regenerates itself for free.

Hi,
   Grimer,think about this. If you get negative horizontal shift your pivot point will end
in outer space or if you keep shortening the pendulum going the other way you'll
dissappear down your own pivot.
