Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[AquariuZ]

Test 5

I have overlaid the barriers as I understand it from the video footage. Please check the screen shots I posted...

the red spheres represent the side view of the dumbbells. The green dot represents the extended axle which touches the barriers, the weights itself do not touch the barriers.

Now the KAD arms are a bit off and too short, but hopefully you will be able to see the path.

A) WEIGHT AXLE ENCOUNTERS LOWER BARRIER AT AROUND SIX O CLOCK FROM THE INSIDE
B) WEIGHT MOVES UP ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE LOWER BARRIER
C) WEIGHT PASSES LOWER BARRIER AND STAYS ALMOST MOTIONLESS FOR A MOMENT
D) THE WEIGHT MOVES RIGHT CAUSED BY THE MOMENTUM OF THE WHEEL
E) THE WEIGHT AXLE ENCOUNTERS THE UPPER BARRIER FROM THE OUTSIDE
F) WEIGHT MOVES UP ALONG THE UPPER BARRIER BY MOMENTUM
G) WEIGHT FINDS ITSELF IN THE SOCKET AGAIN AT 12:30, EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS AT 17:30

I hope you can now see what I mean...

AGAIN: SEVEN WEIGHTS ON THE LEFT - NINE ON THE RIGHT. HERE IS YOUR "D".

Hmm intresting..

I haven't got time now..  So i give you guys some files to play with...  There are still some barriers left.

Maybe a stupid question, but should we consider the rotation of the earth?  Because a water whirl always wants to go in the same direction, maybe this can influence this as well...  (Not in the software, but IRL )  It might be of any influence to put it in a certain compass direction line-up.

Anyway here are the files.

Aquariuz, i was thinking of the dumbells again.. I think the principle is the same, he uses the dumbbells middle bar to lift and st ear them, i do this with the open rails...  Same effect different approach in my opinion.

The lift is on the OUTSIDE, this is the trick. Please check previous. No construction inside the two layers. I hope to finish a correctly scaled model today, preferably without a motor.

I did try something similar, i made the ramp a closed path, so it stears the upcoming weights as well in the inside as the outside.. but that didn't work....

I do however see something in you're drawing.. that if you can skip an arm due to the shorter path then you would have indeed more weights on the long side then on the short side...  That needs some more investigation..

I'm looking forward to see you're model!
