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!     

That was quite interesting, if its that easy, then thats quite amazing...

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.

Hi Persume,

This is just what I was thinking following the discussion about Henkel's involvement. Henkel can be involved in the project without endorsing a particular application of the product it supplies.

If I was asked to design a database to handle a capacity at a certain rate, I'd do it and supply it to a customer. I'd certainly be "seriously involved" in the project, but if the customer decides this database is to be used to build a self-aware computing system, I'm not making any comment on whether or not the goal feasible, and I'm not exploiting the customer by taking on the commission. Who am I to say what the customer should or shouldn't spend their money on?

I can supply what's been asked of me, both with a clean conscience and with my critical faculties intact. I'd also be perfectly happy to go public about it. If my database performs according to the specification asked and the customer's satisfied, it's a ringing endorsement of my service, nothing to do with the ambitions of the customer.

This applies to *almost* every consumer / supplier relationship.

Cheers

 AquariuZ in reply to the wrongly placed glass comment, I'd like you to show me any real life engineering situation where weights are being thrown about with enough force to power over a thousand homes, and glass is used as the powers structure.
I'd like you to show me how there is no danger of said glass being chipped, scratched, or in the most obvious case completely destroyed, if not immediately, then over time.

As a second request I'd like you to negate an abvious fact that all of Sjacks Abelings previous patents had to do with media display ( for trade shows etc. ) and then try to tell me that Glas AanHecht doesn't specialize in producing products of a similar nature ( which it does )
"In cooperation with partner Henkel B.V. and Glaswerk Hoogezand B.V., Glas Aanhecht is producing decorative glass. For example: granite glass, Trespa glass, marmoleum glass and other materials. These materials are glued to the back of glass, with the decorative side forward. These products are marketed by sales organizations."

I also wonder if Sjack is or isn't getting coin for every click visitors make to those other sites marketed up on his site. Which might have nothing to do with the above but it is a matter of interest.
