Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[Omnibus]

@AquariuZ,

OK, Cherryman was kidnapped by the MIB, and no other takers yet, so off I go.

With that kind of involvement by the government, if at all, Holland emerges as a MiB-free country so I'm expecting @Cherryman to appear any moment. By the way, thanks for taking the time to translate the patent. Shouldn't it be patented in the US and other countries as well?

G'day all,

For those of you that are playing around with that inner ramp idea here is probably the most interesting version. It was designed in 1835 in England by Dixon Vallance. Instead of a ramp it features a belt.

Hans von Lieven

What is driving the belt pulleys? I assume that its off of the larger wheel but I don't see it in the picture.

[AquariuZ]

So the path of the weights is almost exactly as figured out in here.
Barriers or guiders in smooth flowing curves pushing weight towards axle at six o clock and moves it into place at one o clock. All very tight

Initial reaction: cannot work due to friction

BUT

The claim is

Abeling has considerably reduced and hence overcome friction by the following

For the guides and sockets he uses an interrupted teeth like surface, like the outside of a gear or cogwheel to reduce friction. Please check Fig 6. on 6/7 to see the teeth like surface.

And guess what will further reduce friction: using GLASS as a material for the guides.

I believe this is the main "extra" he uses to make this work.

Running out of time for now, will translate as much as I can and post.

Looking forward to future analysis and replication

the time to translate the patent. Shouldn't it be patented in the US and other countries as well?

If he has not done it yet, it now cannot be patented anymore because it is public?

In any case it should be public, who cares about a patent. Our best chances are to replicate asap with what we have. Or try at least. About MIB: I do not really believe in them, but I believe in the Evil of Big Corp

Hi all,

I have done some manual translation. The important things are covered in it.
All the pictures are in there aswell.
I left it in Word 2003 format so others (AquariuZ  ) can work on it as well.

I think it might be a good start.

Used rapidshare cause the attachment was to large.....

enjoy!

I just noticed that it can only be downloaded 10 times from rapidshare..... Can someone repost it here as pdf maybe?
