Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[Cherryman]

Seems we keep getting stuck with balance,...

Here a slow one (With motorwarning  )

@Grimer
Thanks for your explanations!
Although i can't agree with everything you said, i still like your views on inertial mechanics....Hey, Mr. Laithwaite's work... We talked about it once...

Btw, high order derivatives (like the rate of change of acceleration) are just a mathematical description of a physical motion (not an energy source).

It would be interesting what kind of real values for a "rate of change of acceleration" would you be getting, for instance, when calculating an integral of a closed path of a weight in a "gravity wheel"....
I'd say this 3rd derivative would be very small, but still a negative number after completing a full circle.

I keep looking and reading, but after so many builds, I think I will wait on a video or other proof. Simply put, ramps have always been tried and so far no proof of one working. If Sjack has it patented, why not show the working wheel?

Indeed!


Btw,  Ramps and rolling balls are a recipe for... Ah, never mind.
Let's say they're just not the most optimal combination for a successful gravity wheel.

Anyway, you can check your concepts easily.
True gravity/overbalanced wheel would start from a standstill all by it's own.


@AquariuZ
I was surprised when I read that Henkel answered your e-mail. "Glue attachments challenges"? Why not! And they say it's a serious project...
(quantity of the glue needed?)

I hope you'll get an answer from that other institution, too. (Dutch authority which supposedly gave a permission to build the Abeling Gravity plants)...

I have a different idea as to how this wheel works, so here is a video as to how I think it works:

Over this weekend I'm going to build a unit and see if my theory is correct.

Good thinking about the different slots!

I'm not sure what you mean about the "Skateboard" so looking forward to your built!

This one works with one bar also...  (With motor ) So maybe the Skateboard wil do the trick!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSaKQEn0Wwc&feature=channel_page

Good Luck!

@Cherryman,

Can you remove the motor altogether replacing it by a pin and make sure that there's noting anywhere in the program acting as a motor? I'm talking about your KAD9 as well as KAD10.
