A machine to convert gravity to mechanical energy # 2

[utilitarian]

2 + 2 = 4, the question is where do the 2’s come from? I say you can get them from gravity.

1. The free falling tanks in the continuous column are not attached to the track.
The free falling tanks in the continuous column are attached to each other.

2. The tanks are abruptly stopped at the bottom, when the tanks are abruptly stopped the 65 lb weight keeps going.

3. The external water pressure at the top would be sufficient to push the piston back into the tank.

You machine will work.  Is that what you want to hear?  OK, now you have heard it.  Good luck with building it.

Brian, if the free-falling tanks aren't attached to the track, how do you get any "gravity" power from them?

The tanks expand at the bottom, after they expand they are lighter than the liquid they displace and float up doing work. Gravity forces the tanks up.

How fast do you expect them to fall, since they are just barely heavier than the water they displace?

I don’t know how fast the tanks will fall, when the tanks fall in a continuous column there is all most no drag with the water.

When the tanks stop abruptly at the bottom, the whole column must stop too, since the tanks are attached to each other.

At the bottom the tanks are quickly pushed over to the stop by the transfer solenoid.
The tanks need to be removed from the bottom as quickly as they fall.

I just wanted to thank you Brian,

I have read this entire thing, and the thing about the bubble tube, and your website.

I learned a few things.

1. Patents should not have dimensions on them.
2. Hurricanes are not something to play with.
3. The failure to listen to criticism that is designed to help you is embarrassing.
4. Defending a position after that position is proved to be false is embarrassing.
5. The only thing worse than being proved wrong is being proved wrong hundreds of years ago.


Why don't you just build the machine yourself?

Again, thanks for teaching me a few things.

Truth,
The truth is no one has explained why either the hurricane machine or GRAVITY MACHINE # 2 won’t work.
Every day my confidence in both machines increases.

Dear Brian,

How tall is a hurricane?  How tall could a machine/ship be built? How many MILES across is the eye of a hurricane?

Did you see the Katrina photos of the OIL TANKER that was BLOWN up on a FREEWAY far from the beach?

I would title that contraption the "Hand of God" if I were you.

Now, more seriously, MANY others have explained the problems with your momentum theory much better than I ever could.

For the moment let us assume that part did work, and the machine turned and moved very fast to achieve momentum, and was strong enough to withstand the fatigue of that sudden stop constantly working on your frame, and you found a way to arrange and build all of those connecting tubes and locking devices. All of that is a stretch, but here we go. How often is this thing going to need repairs? My estimation is that the duty cycle would be very low due to mechanical failures requiring removal from the liquid to effect repairs. How often would parts need to be replaced due to wear and tear?

Now for the REAL test: Will your machine be more cost effective than hydrocarbons?

If ALL of these reasons don't help you understand the reasons that the device is unworkable I do have a suggestion for the next thing you should invent or improve. Please do work on those construction hats the men use for safety from falling objects. I am sure that you will do great because of your apparent personal expertise on the subject.

Seriously, letting you continue to believe this will work would be the most unkind thing that could happen to you on this forum.
