Fletcher's Wheel - Ingenuity verses Entropy

[fletcher]

That's what has to be determined Mark i.e. what clutch mech would be fit for the purpose & what losses could be expected from engaging & disengaging that clutch verses momentum & Ke gained by the wheel POC ?

N.B. all things being equal the greater the drive mass the greater will be the Pe lost in the drive cycle & the greater will be the velocity (rpm) & Ke gained by the wheel [less ordinary system frictional losses] - additionally, increasing the length of the slide rail in the top of the T-Bar increases the drive mass orbit also increasing Pe lost & rpm & Ke gained etc.

So far I believe the losses are manageable & not a show stopper, potentially leaving excess wheel rotational Ke.

Hands on builders with mechanical nous should be able to shed light on what clutch losses might be expected etc.

The system is using roberval action which changes the real position of the weight and has always been the key to ALL mechanical over unity devices.
Roberval action can relocate the effective position of a weight on a wheel without actually moving the weight, by simply engaging or disengaging the roberval action.

Looks like it could work!

my new video is sooooo juicy in regards to that.

roberval.

plz, what is his full name.

did he release papers ?

Looks like no cigar in this configuration.

The Ke that is gained is limited to the Pe that is lost, and must be repaid to return to the start.  All losses prevent a return to the start. The clutch mechanism definitely has loss.  All such schemes come down to and have always failed against a means to cheat gravity's conservative nature.  The Pe difference from maximum to minimum must be shown to be greater than the return due to the path taken.  Ke is just a storage mechanism in the process.
