My Bessler Quest

[guruji]

Hi Protech once I posted an offset shaft but don't know if it works. When put in practise it's a different story. 
Thanks to share.

Hi all,

the attached does NOT show a working gravity wheel, but maybe the mechanism is interesting to some of you. I am trying to develop it further.

The blue cogwheel can not turn freely but is mounted using a ratchet or freewheel clutch.

You will need phantasy and/or the software "Working Model 2D" also known as "wm2d" to see the interaction of the parts.

The software is available as a torrent.
I have attached the zipped .wm2d model file.

The depicted mechanism will raise its center of gravity (during the first phase of the movement).

While doing so, the relative position of the three driving weights will change. Then those three weights will automatically reset to their original relative positions - not to the original absolute (start) position, unfortunately.
wm2d-file is attached.

I tried for a long time to make everything revolve around a common axis.
I gave up on that but came across a principle which should help us to build a gravity powered motor.

I saw the following:
Some weights (black weights in attached image and video) need to be raised AGAINST the direction of rotation of the main assembly.
Please compare the two simulated assemblies in the video:

Both parts of the video show the same mechanism and same weights, the only difference being that freewheel clutches are used in part 2.
These "ratchets" block the swing of the three pendulums.
Consequently the pendulums with the black weights act as "propellers".

The propulsion effect shown in the video is very weak.

In order to increase the propulsive force, heavier black weights need to be raised without need for more energy.

How this can be done?
Well, technically the black weights in the simulated mechanism are LIFTED BY LEVERS.
The teachings of "classical mechanics" say, that when weights are ROLLED UP A RAMP, they can be transported to greater height, with the same amount of force.

Note: there is no copyright regarding the video or the mechanical principle.
Whoever likes the video may feel free to download it using keepvid.com or a similar service and/or upload it to their own channels.

I have not read this entire thread, but it looks like the last few pictures are interesting.

The concept of a gravity wheel seems a bit impossible to me except it's one of those things you just can't leave alone.
Having said that, I believe I found the answer to a working wheel!

I don't mean one that has nearly balanced operation, but one that would produce real horsepower.
There is a combination of two systems that allow for a real working Bessler Wheel, if he indeed had one.
Here is the link where I try to describe this system. Once you understand it's operation, you will see how easy it is!

Ok, so it can't work due to gearing, but the concept is something to ponder in a different direction!
