Big try at gravity wheel

[nfeijo]

People in Porto Alegre, Brazil, are trying to build one big gravity contraption. Check at http://www.rarenergia.com.br/. Most of it is in Portuguese, but there is something in English.

You can say what you want, but these guys are thinking BIG. :-)

SNIP:
"We will build in Porto Alegre, at Av. Patria, 195 - a power generator that started by a
mechanic system, and exclusively powered by the gravity force.
It will be the first equipment with this technology in the world.
We have a small machine for experience and testing in our headquarter at Av. Pedro
Ivo,933. The mechanic system was created under a special conception, to pick up and
take the energy contained in the planet gravity, at any moment and place, without
pollution or heat. Technology was completely developed by our Company and consists
in a continuos movement with some extra energy that can be taken, in a continuous
and perpetual mechanic movement. This equipment is similar to a combustion engine,
where a set of wheights represent the fuel and pistons that activate assemblies connected
to a crankshaft. Another similar equipment will be built in the U.S.A. at the Incobrasa
Industries Ltd plant, a Company of the group, located in Gilman, IL. Both equipment
are demonstration models with capacity to generate 30 KW, and will be ready in the
middle of the next year. The technique allows the building of great power generators.
RAR Energia Ltda."
END SNIP.

Where's the working prototype, in a YouTube video? It can't possibly be real unless there's a YouTube video of it working. And making lots of noise, from the looks of things.

My goodness. It is patented. Hard to believe.
