Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[hansvonlieven]

Neat AquariuZ,

Have a look at this one. Here we separate the centrifugal force from the force imparted by the drop. Notice how the wheel keeps spinning while the released centrifugal force propels the ball up a ramp.

Question is: Are the two forces added together more than the potential energy from the drop? You be the judge.

Has anyone contacted Sjack directly yet?

In the current embodiments of the Abeling patent the weights encounter a force near the bottom of their fall through the right side of the wheel (in a clockwise turning wheel example like in the patent).  The force is due to the ramps that start to bring the weight closer to the axle.  When this ramp force is pushing straight up, the 90 degree reaction force could be straight to the left, aiding with the wheel's rotation.  As the weight rises up the ramp towards the 9 o'clock position the ramp is exerting a force on the weight that is to the right.  The 90 degree reaction force is now straight up, assisting in raising the weight:  Effectively lightly lifting the weight.  After this point, CF should push the weight back out to the rim in the sling shot trajectory.  I have not thought that through.  I'm not sure where the real force vectors acting on the weights are in this area.

My question is with regard to the above is: After the weight develops it potential energy prior to the 6:00 position, isn't most (if not all) of that potential energy alledgedly transferred to the wheel in the form of kinetic energy? Also, as the weights travel in toward the center from 6:00 to 9:00 they lose acceleration. With regard to both of these points, how is it that there is any energy left to create any forward momentum beyond the 9:00 point, let alone any centrifugal acceleration?

You boys are deluded. Enjoy the drinks cause the show aint free.

LOL

This has more thrills in it than Indiana Jones

Look out for the wheel! Watch the ramp! Noo.

....just......cant......yes

Cherrymans gears BTW enjoy the show

OK back to the egg...

Geweldig!
