The Road to Perpetual Motion

Hi Hans,

I like the way you are examining this design in detail. Very nice.

This looks like it is going to be a complex build.Thanks for sharing your ideas.

You are probably dreaming about it in your sleep.

G'day Hans....
If you want a hand with a build let me know.
Cheers mate

G'day all,

In order of sequence, no favouritism here 

@ Hydrocontrol,

The lever arm and the counterweight is a poor engineering solution. I said so in my paper. I only used it as it illustrates the forces at work. At the moment I am working on a much more elegant way to accommodate the design's requirements. The slot arrangements are tentative. It was easy to draw and shows the concept, that's all. I will give your ideas some thought.

@ResinRat2,

Btw. Who is ResinRat1    The wife I hope 

G'day Dave.

Yes mate you are right I am eating, sleeping, drinking, dreaming, and #@%%$^& this project. In a way I am no different to you, get stuck into it, tell the world at the risk of getting egg on your face and push to get this *##$&^#@ sorted out.

It is good to hear from you, thanks for your comments.

@scotty,

G'day mate,

I am honoured to have you on board if you wish Scotty. The quality of your work is exemplary and speaks for itself. I will get in touch via E-mail and we can discuss how we can make this thing real.

@ Nabo00o

You are correct in saying that the separation of the systems makes additional energy available, but this energy must be reversed and fed back into the system. Good boy, you seem to be grasping what I am trying to say.

Hans von Lieven

Exactly! You need to reverse the direction in which the outer wheel turn's before it is transferred to the inner wheel, this can be done by twisting a rubber band, so that it pulls in the opposite direction.
The other problem I see is that you only want the inner wheel to steadly turn and even accelerate, but without the outer wheel to follow the same pattern. This can be done by using a simple bicycle-chain setup which only transferres power in one dircetion and moves freely in the other.
This way the outer wheel can do its stop- and pull action while the inner wheel continiusly turns and collects more and more power.
What'd you think? Is this achievable?

G'day Nabo00o,

A bicycle wheel employs simply a ratchet drive, If you look closely at the drawing you can see a ratchet drive incorporated in the design.
