1939 Gravity Power - multiply power by 1200%

[rice]

Just thinking out loud here....  Everyone is excited about this machine and the reason is because we could potentially take a strip off a bar on a laithe with a 1/8 horse motor.  And this must be overunity!  This is the only reason that we are excited about the video right? 

Has anyone tried to peel a strip off of a mild bar with a 1/8 horse motor? 

With a sharp tool,  the right gearing, and the right bar,  a 1/8 horse motor will do the job long enough to make this film.......   No?

Update,

Elliptical mechanism in operation without lever connected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn_gI1Ae6d8

Elliptical mechanism failed to operate correctly with lever connected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4wvNRO4_MU

This mechanism needs too much precision for experiments.

I'm also starting to think 2 gravity units 180 degrees out of phase may be required to balance out the motor (prime mover) input.
Also we don't understand how the primary input mechanism is made, so we're working in the dark.
I'm now starting to think the input mechanism is connected to the lever shaft rotation. You can see when Mr. Skinner turns the lever by hand and the input pulley turns. I've noticed this for a while but it didn't connect till now.

Hi gotoluc,
In this picture detail (focus), I do not know the exact name for it! Its mission might help smooth shaft lever movement in any direction. . . In the middle of the box you do not see clearly similar details! . .

I agree that the video is garbage and this had the smell of familiarity.

We are in the dark totally, like you say, you are already hinting.

Gotoluc I recommend you look more into the teachings of Dimitriev..

Let him, satisfy your curiosity.

And for those video lovers, he made alot of videos.

Hi Luc,

I treated this like a major breakdown at a local factory, where I have been sought out many times by engineers when the S**t hits the fan, even at 1am. Well here it is, and the most likely the method used by Skinner.  The simplest, cheapest and the most elegant, a design solution an engineer in 1939 would have used. The exact materials and parts William possibly used, I still have on the drawing board.

Regards Arto

If you look closely the device turns a large belt that turns a large shaft attached to the ceiling which has other belts attached to drill press, cut off saw and lathe.  The losses on all these belts would be greater than 1/8 HP. Notice he uses a string to couple the 1/8 hp electric motor to the first pulley. To me this would indicate that he is not even using all the motors available torque.
