Gravity Motor Patent 7/10/08

Well, good, I suppose. There are other reasons besides the scaling one, more fundamental ones, that don't require an engineering analysis, as I have tried to show.
For what it's worth,  I videoed the test procedure I spoke of earlier, and had some interesting results. Perhaps it is moot now: after all we are seeing an event that is extremely rare in these parts: a free energy invention repudiated by the inventor.
And so soon, too. I expected it to go for at least a couple more weeks.
Well, anyway, here's the video. It's about 16 minutes long, 4 separate configurations tested, 14 trials total. The silly thing almost runs. Almost. He hee heeee....
(And by the way, not shown in the video but tried later: JK's idea of using a ferromagnetic wire in place of latches, or pins as in the first embodiment, looks like it will work. Not as free energy, just in place of latches. I'll try to illustrate tomorrow.)
(if anybody is still interested...)

Yes - still interested.

Tx for the vid.  Nice build.

I would like to see a vid with the wire/pins in place of the latches and the results.
From the original design - it seemed the mags should stay at the top of the tube, rather than settle to the middle where the latches were. (and/or the latches should be at the top rather than middle) ?
The pins/wire should accomplish this.

What are you using for a bearing?  It seems kind of tight...

Interesting to see the 1:00 and 7:00 stators gave better run times than no mags.

Odd how quickly mondrasek gave up after (apparently) spending $3,000 on a patent application....

Doesn't the saying go : "if at first you don't succeed - try again!"

@ TK

would love to see you finish the wheel with the latches.

I think you could use the mondresek (its mon-dray-sek) latches if you carefully slotted into your channels and attached a small block to the front or back of the wheel to hold the pivot pin. Then the block would act as the stop as well, EDIT: that wont work the latches wont work right that way. They must be on the side of the channel so they reset properly.

But im sure you can figure it out.

I was thinking of a latchless system just now by using a reverse "z" channel. would work with your stators at 7 and 1 I think. The magnet would have to fall into a side notch though at bottom and top and not get jammed up though.

Hi Tinsel,

In the video you need to show that with the magnets between 1 and 5 all the way out and the magnets between 7 and 12 all the way in whether or not the wheel will rotate from the imbalance

Your video as it stands appears to show a Machine that will run until the parts break (pm?) but just isn't far enough out of balance. You can dispel this thought by showing whether or not a magnet all the way in at 9 with a magnet all the way out at 3 will rotate the wheel.

By the way very nice work putting together that wheel I really enjoyed watching the video.
