Skinner 1939 gravity machine centrifugal force tests and hope

[Low-Q]

The Tesla-turbine is driven by high pressure air or water. As a pump, it is quite inefficient. Well, the Tesla-turbine is quite inefficient in both ways as it relies on friction between the discs. There are no actual solid obstacles that is pushed by the flowing meduim.


A centrifugal pump is what you find in vacuum cleaners. A turbine with blades :-)


Anyway, I look forward to your progress on your experiment, Norman. Watch people build things is allways fun

Your information about the Tesla turbine is incorrect.  It does not depend on friction.  It works on the boundary layer effect and in fact is very efficient when used as a pump or as a turbine.  They are being used more and more in industry because of their durability and efficiency.  Here is a link to an article that gives some real data from actual builders of Tesla turbines.

Thanks for the information about the tesla turbine, Carroll.

Ok folks, I'm going to move on to the skinner oval movement. I really want to get a measurement similar to this setup. I'd like to measure the Skinner trick.  I have learned much from this setup. 

So I put out the YELLOW CAUTION FLAG.

You can learn from this like me but I'm not sure its very useful.

I'm still not sure you can lift 2 times in the 360 degree rotation.
The mechanism to do that has too much slop in it to work well.

As I was waking this week I thought Skinner stuff and realized that he might
be using the amusement ride we liked as a kid - the whip. The car
went around an oval and when it got to the turn at the end the car swung out to the side and gave you a dose of centrifical force.....and I was reminded
that iceskaters did the same thing with a line and the skater at the end
went really fast. But he cleverly disconnected  the input from the output.
The only connection was the axle that the output was connected to by a bearing to.

Now I have to reread my Skinner notes and make up a test device.

Unless the mechanism can overtake the slop
