New accelerating gravity wheel ! Converted video from www.newenergymachine.com !

Here's my latest concept drawing based on what we know so far. Bob has confirmed that the cam is fixed and works as I thought from 3:30 to around 5:00 then the lever takes over. Larry, you might be able to modify your design in this way.
Best regards,

I see a problem with this drawing.  The 10lb weight should be attached to the prybar.  Also Having a return spring takes some of your mechanical 
advantage away. I'm on the fence as to whether this gravity wheel actually works.  Blame it on my schooling ;O)  I would love to make an appointment to see it working since I don't live very far, but I would have to be invited.

Hi Robert,
Don't judge the actual machine by my drawing. This was just a 'best guess' on how it might work and yes, it probably doesn't work this way.
Did you see Bob Kostoff's video? If not, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lD_65ggChs
Actually, we would be thrilled if you could visit Mr. Kostoff and see it first hand and let us know exactly how it does work.
You can contact him through his website, www.newsourceofenergy.com.
Best regards,
Charlie

Hi Charlie;

Yes saw the videos and read every reply in this forum.  My comments were not entirely based on your drawing.  BTW:  Nice job on the drawing.  I just never saw a 36" lever with a 10lb weight on it in the videos or pictures.  Kinda hard to hide.  How about those pneumatic rams?  There are springs already to provide shock absorbtion.  I hope this is the real thing but I remain skeptical and I think it is healthy to be skeptical.

Cheers,
Robert

So how far are you from Little Britain? Were you serious about going to see his machine? I don't know if he is open to people seeing it but we could ask.
Thanks,
Charlie

I live about 100miles from Bob.  He lives near Lindsay (Little Britain) and I live in Kingston Ontario.  I would be happy to go especially on a weekend if this can be arranged.  I'd be happy to report back and take any vids or photos Bob would be will to let me take.
