Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[AquariuZ]

Hi Guys,

First post here, I must say I find this tread very interesting and I really hope this wheel of Sjack's is for real.

As I dont know dutch and want to read the patent of Sjack's ASAP Im glad to contibute a text version (a bit rough) for easy translation.

Cheers

Keep up the good work!

Thank you

Here is Dutchy's text. Thanks from AquariuZ (  )



This is the essence of the dutch worded Abeling patent. The translation is my interpretation and is mainly focused on the description of the working principal.

This invention converts gravitational energy into kinetic (rotational) energy.
The principal of conversion comes from controlling the falling and lifting forces that are applied to the weights involved. By letting the weights move radially outward during their fall and force them radially inward on their way up (by means of a guiding system) a momentum is created which is available at the central axle. 

It consists of:
-   at least one carrier disc (2) rotating around a horizontal axle (6), having at least one weight (3) attached which can move mainly radially outward  in a predetermined path. It has slots in it as we know from the pictures seen in the video. The slots can be different in shape and number but figure two is a nice starting point. The central axle is fixed to the carrier disc.
-   Two stands (5) which host the guiding means for the weights. See figure 3.
Point A is the center axle. Further there is the oval shaped guide which guides the weights according to the track shown in Figure 4. The stand have bearings for the central axle(7).
-   Weights.
The weights are indeed dumbbell like, which means two (half) weights attached by a connecting rod which protrudes the carrier disc (2)
-   Extra guiding means (4). These consists of rods (15) attached to the edge of the carrier disc (2) and sitting in a ring bearing(16) on the stands. The ring can be seen  in Figure 3. This seems to be optional and is to prevent wobble of the disc.
Note: Figure 1 shows two discs working side by side which is not further mentioned. One half is the basic principle!

Each carrier disc (2) has for each weight a curved radial guiding slot (fig. 2). To promote the impact of the weights spiraling outward each guiding slot has a curve on the end. The curve being in the direction of rotation. In the example shown the slot is even totally curved.
Each weight can be shifted radially in its own curved guiding slot.
The guiding means(4) on the stands (5) consist in this example of rings (13) by which the weights are guided. These rings are also cut in the stand. These rings have a oval sort of shape. Because of the shape of the rings each weights gets propelled when it comes up to its highest point. This creates a lot of energy.
The oval shape is somewhat tilted. This way the weights are forced to start moving inward already before reaching the lowest point.
In figure 4 one can see the pathway which the weights are forced to follow. At weight posion 3_12 (figure 4)the weights starts getting warped outward again.

In figure 4 the pathway for a single way is shown. It should be clear that each weight follows this same pathway. In figures 5A to 5D the pathways of a 4 weight example is shown. Notice how the weights move towards and away from each other.

The improved version that is being tested at this moment has two carrier discs side by side and the weights in between them (see figure 7). The weights are guided by both discs. The guiding slots are shaped like hockey sticks and positioned as shown in Figure 8. The curved end of the “hockeystick” causes the weight to be briefly , but very intensely, warped outward.  Notice that the slots do NOT stretch out radially!

I was talking about the Sjack Abeling device when it comes to the bet.

So, we know it cannot work but, hey, why not make a buck off of it like Sterling does. We're in a really bad shape if reputable companies such as Henkel rationalizes it that way.

Hardly Omnibus, you don't see Henkle advertising the fact they might be supplying something to Abeling. It's no skin off their nose, money is money. Now if Abeling really did have something that worked, and they knew about it, they would make no hesitation in advertising the fact that they would be the supplier to this incredible piece of technology. I seriously doubt it that Henkle knows specifics about the supposed technology at all, other than they are working out a quote for supply costs.

Currently looking if a weight can be launched by scissoring it betwen a barrier and its holder. Looks like it will...!

Thank you Aquariuz for bringing this device to our attention and caring for the site.  I can have more
faith in this invention than a certain recent magnet wheel.

Yes, anyone who has ever tried to cut a round rod with a pair of scissors will have no problem with
understanding the final action that launches the weight to its final outer position. Simplicity its self!
