Weight that swings upwards

[Alexioco]

Hello all, I'm back, I wont be here all of the time but I will be around...

Ok here is a design that came to me the other day, its the best one yet...

A weight that swings upwards to the top of the wheel. This mechanism started off strange but has now been simplified and it really does fly upwards, this is how it works

When the weight is near the top of the wheel, there needs to be a release mechnaism (peg) so it can swing out, as it swings out because the wheel is already moving it swings upwards to the very top of the wheel...


As you can see there is string (on the left) a weight and a lever...
The weight when released swings out and up with the help of CF (the wheel does not have to spin fast at all...) I now need to find a way to make the weight fall back in, I could have it with MT 27 so that the current weight above falling in half way down the wheel and MT 27 coming out...

Just an idea...

Edit: Here is when it has two mechanisms added...



(The drawings are not 100% accurate)

and here is the entire thing



Question is, how do you now get weight D to take the position of weight C inorder to continue the motion, once that is found, then we have something to play with...

not to be negative but "D-C" dont gonna happen in a million years, because of centrifugal forces, which i assume are the same forces that you hope gonna lift the weight in the "A-B" step.

MAYBE using magnets, the repulsion effect could lift the weight ("D-C") without brake the wheel.
IF that works.. i think the same magnets would act as the release mechanism.

the only problem i see with the magnets theory is that the weights would lose mmm... weight! ... in the heavy side of the wheel, so!, in the end the lighter side would become heavier.. mmm!

Well if you look at weight A that will fall out, if you turn the wheel clockwise as it falls it, it swings to the top of the wheel then falls back down which it needs to be caught...

I don't yet fully understand the idea but i'll try to get what you're aiming at. If that left brown thing is a string why is it stiff at C and D.

Greetings Alex

I know what you are trying to do, and I am trying to figure out some advice without exposing other work. Now you have to worry about CF. I learned that with some of my floating weights which CF showed me a new problem LOL. OK I think I have it for you, attach the B and C weight together and the A and D. You know work them in pairs.

Good Luck
