Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

OK.

Either I don't understand what you're saying here, or your "wagon case" is simply wrong...
Cheers!

Correct. You don't understand what I am saying. You don't understand how much energy can be stored in spinning gyros (flywheels) and you don't understand the principles of servo-mechanics. I suggest you get yourself an education in these matters.

@Grimer,

At first I thought it must be an extension of the work of that New Zealander, Bruce de Palma.

What work of Bruce de Palma do you have in mind? I visited Bruce couple of times in Santa Barbara and he showed me some very interesting experiments, including the homopolar generator but no gravity driven machine. Maybe you mean his experiments w/ falling objects? Speaking of the Faraday generator, after visiting de Palma I spoke with prof. Kincheloe at Stanford university who showed me in his office data with telltale signs for Lentz’ law violation. Unfortunately, Bruce had been uncooperative and prof. Kincheloe wasn’t able to complete his independent studies of the motor. He told me he was trying to build one himself so that he can further study this violation (as you probably know a Colorado religious sect helped Bruce financially to build two of these one of which he kept). Unfortunately, after prof. Kincheloe retired in Oregon I could never get in touch with him despite my many attempts to do so.

@AquariuZ,

f you really want to get involved why not pay Sjack a visit instead of the professor.

I wrote him an e-mail to that effect but never got an answer. I sent a pm to @broli123 who posted the video on youtube. Never got an answer either. Also, as far as I understand from his website his investors are reluctant to have the details about the machine revealed. So, what good will it do to just meet with the guy and talk. This reminds me of a meeting I had at Oxford university at the center for quantum computing where I expected to see experiments but we ended up just discussing the theoretical background (very clever, by the way, if one believes that Hilbert space is indeed endowed with the physical meaning ascribed to it).

@Philip Hardcastle,

Phyics is physics, sometimes slightly wrong ...

Not slightly wrong. In the case of what prof. Bergshoeff is doing it is very, very wrong; completely wrong. Einstein’s theory of relativity and anything connected with it (string theories, cosmology etc.) should be abandoned in its entirety, without a trace.

@Philip Hardcastle,

I don't want to get into details now but it can be shown that there can be cases when energy produced need not come from a pre-existing energy reservoir. Colloquially speaking one may say that's "energy created from nothing". Of course, it isn't from nothing because the energy in question appears due to the opportunity created (through a proper construction of the machine) for conservative forces to induce displacement. Thus, while the "transformation" part of CoE can never be violated, there are instances whereby the "conservation" aspect of CoE can be violated.
