Big try at gravity wheel

[camelherder49]

I just have to ask!!

If this invention works, what is the fuel that it uses
to continually rotate??

Weights. It's a gravity engine, so they have to feed it with weights.

What I actually meant by that question was that when
someone mentioned gravity being a fuel source the
topic went ballistic.  Weight by itself will power nothing.
Whatever causes the weight to move would have to be
the fuel.

Of course you have to lift the weights first. But that's just a minor detail. You can also buy pre-lifted weights, but not in the basement.

TK,

I bet a dollar that you are impressed with the size of that thing. :-)

GL.

I am impressed, all right, by the size and the evident cost. One of those bearing-arm assemblies is undoubtedly worth more than my automobile.

But my automobile starts right up when I turn the key, and runs for as long as it has gasoline in the tank.


If I had a working prototype of this device I'd certainly make a YouTube video of it running. Wouldn't you?  "But the smaller ones only turned a few turns, and the bigger ones turned a few more turns, and by making a graph we can see that if we make a _really_ big one, it will keep on turning and turning and turning".... so forget about the YT vid of a running small prototype, let's just go ahead and build the big one, since the theory, and the data from the smaller ones, indicate that when it's over a certain size it will start running on its own.


Notice how confident the builders themselves are? There is no apparent provision for a brake or RPM limiter. Of course maybe those parts haven't been installed yet.
