Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[Cherryman]

Here is a smaller version, you well have to redo the constraints.

Just to help some to understand the potential of the centrifugal sling force involved, please look at http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=2326.msg153063#msg153063.

It shows a centrifugal sling capture testbed and performance data based on Bob Kostoff design. Since there are two connected weights, the forces would be less than in Abeling design, because each weight is being counterbalanced by the centrifugal pull force of the other based on distance from the center.

Abeling's design has the advantage of multiple weights slinging outward in the same vertical plane. It may not be as efficient at the capture of the CF sling force due to Abeling's use of a directional change to impact the bottom right of the hockeystick in the rotational direction to increase the acceleration. But the multiple weights should give it the advantage. Abeling's design is also much simpler than Bob's pneumatics, cam, and lever approach.

Just wondering, can any of you WM2D programmers recreate the results of a actual CF sling capture physical testbed result? If any specification is missing, I would be glad to respond.

It would be interesting to know if WM2D can predict CF sling capture force.

Hi Larry,

I think your first challenge is to convince anyone here that there is any centrifugal force related to this design. At least that's been my experience .

Over on Bessler Wheel there are some very good WM2D users, and it seems like many working wheels in WM2D, but not in real life. Most of them use it to work out ideas, not as proof.

@AB Hammer,

and it seems like many working wheels in WM2D

Can you give us an example of a working gravity wheel in WM2D?
