Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

@Dusty
I feel the excitement, when you take the next step, we'll see a working perpetuum mobile, which will turn into a hightly woodshredder unless it's rpm's are controlled :-)

LOL! I think we would all like to have that as a problem!

Indeed. But look how simple it is. The weight rolling up the first ramp is only pressing down the Earth. That part of the equasion (a good chuck) is gone.

That new wheel is HUGE!

@Dusty:
Sure you've already addressed it in your design, but you may want to make the transition of the weight from the wheel onto the first ramp as fluent as possible.
For this you'll want to decide on the out diameter of your weights as will be rolling up that ramp.
For the ramp curvature to make it a smooth transition, I thing a circel part is too abrubt. Maybe consider turning down the radius to it's main one only when the weight is like a foot or more on the thing already. Build up the weight transfer and direction change, rather than it hitting the radius abrubtly.

The upper ramps and wheel slots, I'm sure you'll design it for high-rpm, the weight taking a clean path around it. The will be different from still demonstrations, obviously.

Think safety and stiffness, if you're looking for this thing to make even just a few rotations. With 8 (heavier?) weights, it's going to accelerate.

Please let this be a real free energy device, that makes the complicate magnet motors and other complicated contraptions obsolete for the purpose of powering our houses or charging our e-cars.
Hope this is not one of those monthly disappointments I find on this forum, that start out on a high and then just die. Even if the MIB seize this patent, we (the people) will be able to make this thing, and develope upon it.

I see it's time for a little update.  I've been working on building the six foot wheels.  I've added a couple attachments just to see the size of the new wheels.  I have a bunch of work to do in cutting the slots and cutting up the frame and making it larger.  I'm working on it every day as time allows.

Hi Dusty,

Where did you get the six foot wheels? I can only find the usual 4X8 plywood.

Thanks, Larry

@ dusty, your insane on the membrane, I like it

You can buy 3 sheets of 4 by 8 plywood,  cut them all to 4 by 6 ft.,  cut one of them into two pcs. of 2 by 6 ft., glue and screw them together ( overlap seems of course ), cut out your circle.  This will give you one disc.  If you buy plywood that is sanded on one side, glue the rough sides together.   Lots of glue applied with a paint roller works well. Work fast.
If you buy 3/8 plywood your finished work will be 3/4. I like to change directions of the top layer. Hope this helps.
