I also don't know. Will have to learn.

@Walter Singletary,
Are you still out there? You're machine was working in your second to last post. Any pics, drawings, help would be appreciated.

Regards, Larry

Larry,
If you figure out the latch and lever mechanism, let me know. I've got a small model completed up to that point.

Sure, and I hope that anyone else watching will do the same. I've seen many failed gravity machines, but I think this one has a good chance because of the capture and reuse of the centrifugal force. The work by Veljko http://www.veljkomilkovic.com/OscilacijeEng.html shows there is available power from centrifugal force created by gravity and Bob seems to have found out how to apply it more directly.

I have attached all of Bob's comments that I could find on this thread to help with the build.

Thanks for compiling his comments!  Yes I think this device has potential!  Also some of the magnet gravity wheels look like they could work!

Here's my take on how this potentially works.

Here's my take on how this potentially works.

I've included a heavy gate latch pic that may work for heavy compression springs, may require two if jamming. Even a regular door lock with a handle could work depending on the spring strength. The handle could be hit with a stop to release.

Not sure if you're trying to recreate Bob's machine. But he used the huge centrifugal slamming force created as the weight is slung from the mid position to the edge. The spring and latch is used to save that energy to help with the hardest part of the reset(first couple of inches) at 4:00. First with a cam then a lever. But please ignore my comment, if you're just trying a new design.
