12 times more output than input, dual mechanical oscillation system !

I don't really follow you, Norman. I'll have another look later.

In the meanwhile, could we not arrange a ratchet so that when the weight is raised, it does not fall again.

We would need to take into account that this will alter the geometry of the system, of course.

Paul, that is what I would do next and did try once awhile back but it failed then. I'm more
hopeful now. The trick is not to waste too much on the way down so it will require the
opposite of a ratchet up. You don't want to waste power on the whole turn of the  wheel.
So a ratchet that pulls the wheel from 10 oclock till noon and then lets the wheel/pendulum
freewheel till it goes around to 10 oclock again when it needs a boost.
I'm thinking about how to do that cause its snowing and I'm inside till it stops.

You can use "one-way" bearings that are readily obtained from your local hobby shop that sells RC helicopter parts

Its good to see you throwing in your sixpennyworth, TK. Like a tablespoon of rum in the fruit salad.

Good to know about the bearing. Is there such a thing as a "one-way" shaft - for linear movement?

My simple experiments demonstrated 2 principle discoveries.
1. with the lifted weight on the left and the rotating unbalanced wheel on the right
  a clockwise rotation will lift more weight on the left.
2. with the same arrangement above a weight on a string falling 1 inch will turn
the wheel further when started at noon than at 10 oclock. And if that weight
is sufficient it will rotate the wheel 2 or 3 times.

I used the crude setup in this photo. I don't build complex expensive stuff till I can
see the basic principle in simple construction. Here the material is cheap and rapid prototype.
For an axle I prefer a bicycle wheel spoke - strong and straight. And being small it has
little friction. I also prefer weights/washers for measureing work instead of meters that
can be off calibration.

The prop on the left holds the wheel until I get the drop distance of the 3 washers
on the right adjusted to the height I want to test. The stop below the 3 washers on the right
limit the distance dropped and thus the work in. The seesaw in the back was used
to see principle 1 above.

So I encourage you go get in the game and see some of this for yourself.

Next I will do the seesaw and see what the dropping weight can lift and then
I will know if there is OU.

The problem is to realise the energy inherent in the raising of the weight; I think we need to get back to the simplicity of the water pump
