Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

@eisenficker2000,

Thanks for sharing. The idea seems very similar to that of @Cherryman. Wonder how close it is to Abeling's. Have you shown it to him?

Just another interpretation..from a Dutch engineer..Yep roots in the north, I know ter Apel.

Hi! And welcome, thanks for sharing and please jion the discussion

I tried modelling this, but results were negative so far.

Trying to figure out the weights, shape and interconnectivity at the moment.

@AquariuZ,

Would be interesting to model @eisenficker2000's idea in WM2D exactly as he proposes it with the groove etc. and then maybe play with the pattern of the groove as well as with the rest of the elements (weight of spheres, material and so on).

I already posted that model earlier, but here it is again... PS: I did play with moving the barriers all around (because I saw the barriers on the video) and as of yet no self running, but at best a balanced wheel.

Also, to eisenficker2000: WHAT IF THE WEIGHTS ARE CONNECTED VIA A BAR PAIRING THEM IN 2 X 2
