Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[AquariuZ]

Well i'm not visualizing you'rs or Sjacks idear.  This is work i dit past month.  I have a few more setups, but because I cannot save the WM2D files i have to create everything again from startover.

But i'm glad you like it. 

I like it because I see serious overlaps in the way I think the Abeling Wheel works...

Just thought of this: canyou try and make the barrier straight with a slight curve to the right past the axle and see what happens?

I am just starting a new model. Did you see my previous wm2d model? Thoughts?

Here it is again the first try at the shot-put principle in wm2d: http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=yz59m4y7wqd

I'm sorry but i cannot open WM2D files, because i only have the demo version. So i did not see them, would like to, do you have a movie ?

And i can do something you like, but you have to be more specifick.. a drawing maybe?

Or did you mean something like this?

Yes this is what I mean, try and see what happens without the motor driving the wheel (just pin it). And a straight barrier which curves to the right past the axle.

I do not know how to make a movie from a running wm2d model unfortunatly.

How do you create the arms? Are those polygons? I find it difficult to work with hollows in wm2d

I Created the movies with a free and simple screen capture program:

I use Rhino3D to design the structure and then import it in WM2D.  I have found a workaround for the hollows , i make a tiny opening in the loop so it is a polygon.

Try to make the opening as small as possible and if possible in a place where you will not have contact with the ball so it will not influence the setup.

Here is a picture to show the concept:

I got some requests about sharing the files..

I have no problem with that...  But i don't like it being called Abeling    I haven't heard or seen from him untill yesterday... And just apart from a few vague pictures we don't know anything about that machine.



So as i'm not trying to keep this for myself, i do have some vanity..  So i call it the K.A.D. system!
