Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[AquariuZ]

Found it. No shifting stands, the wheel is as is.

Protruding weight gets stopped by the barrier at 6 o clock and starts moving away from the side of the wheel until it meets the end of the curved barrier. Weight then moves past the barrier and remains balanced at around nine o clock. Past nine o clock it starts moving right towards the center but meets a second barrier, this time from the outside. This is the "kidney" barrier". It then continues to move as the wheel rotates  along the edge of the "kidney" in a diagonal line towards one o clock until it reaches the end of the second barrier and falls into place into its socket again at which point the weight is at around the 12:30 position and the cycle continues.

No kinetics.

I have been following this thread and have become more and more intrigued, especially when you start discussing the transfer of energy and momentum between different sized masses.

It reminded me of a paper I wrote when working as a Principal Scientific Officer in the Department of the Environment, UK.

The eight pages which you might find relevant to your analysis are as follows:

I have them as .jpegs because the symbols are quite complicated and are from a non-standard font.

Let me say that most people would regard attempting a Gravity Wheel, a classic perpetual motion machine, as absolutely crazy or a total scam.

Obviously I don't, for the reasons set out in the above pages.

Good luck. You seem to be getting your heads around the problem.

TNX Grimer, but i'm afraid that goes above my head 

@ AquariuZ.  Does the weight stop at 0900 or just moves on?

Because what you describe looks a bit like this?

Now i really go to bed, but my latest test seams promissing..  And I'm curious about Aquariuz path.

Goodnight all.. The story continues.......

Don't worry about it.

It's not the maths that the difficulty. It's the conceptual change involved.

I'll try and get my head round what you chaps are doing and explain the implications in terms you should understand.
