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

@unity2zero:  Do you realize that this thread is about a specific design.  It's not just a think pad for general thoughts.

If you want to bring up something new then why not just start a new thread?

Anyone heard from Bob Kostoff, lately?  I'd really like to start replication.

Larry.. looks like you're getting close.. Would Bob be willing to draw detailed plans?  It sure would be nice.  I don't think Bob has his totally self powered as I think he also used an air compressor to help move the weights.  That is fine if you can generate more power than the compressor uses.

I think you are right. Bob is using external compressed air as an enhancement for his gravity wheel. The vid photos of his wheel clearly shows an air cylinder on each end of the connected weights. If you check his website, this is what he had written:

"This new engine is the product of years of research, frustration and
perseverance. I found that using the perpetual motion approach limits
the amount of usable energy available. An internal combustion engine
can be enhanced and will produce more power by installing a turbo
charger. This unit will use some of the initial power produced by the
engine, but the end result is far greater. The same process is used
in this unit but because it uses Gravity rather than fuel, the enhancement
system is much different."

He is comparing his flywheel to an IC engine and its turbo charger as an enhancer. Likewise he is using compressed air from an external source to "charge" or enhance his gravity wheel. The big question is whether the wheel would give out enough energy to operate the compressor to give energy back to the gravity wheel. At best, this is an energy "tank circuit".

Hi Unity,
Here is Bob's own words about using outside power for his unit:

"Hi Stephan. Just thought I would give you a little message and let you know I am back home again. I still go to therapy but things are comming along.
The compressor in the movie is what I was the machine was driving to do some usefull work. The machine wasn't ballanced and the board that is moveing is used as a shelf or small table.
There are no hoses or airlines conected to it."

He has made other comments elsewhere that there is no external power for the machine.

He has stated the air cylinders are only used to cushion the impact of the shifting weights.

BTW, LarryC and myself have been collaborating on a design that we hope to present here in a week or two assuming we are successful.

Hi Charlie, good luck to you and LarryC.  Hope you are successful, will wait to hear of your results.
