Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[LarryC]

@All,

In case anyone would like to create a template from points off of Fig 4 of the patent, please see the attachments. A spreadsheet is displayed first with the points scaled off of Fig 4. The two drawing were made using the points. The excel data set is last. Just change the 610 (MM) in blue to whatever radius you wish.

I know Fig 4 is not perfect, but it is as close as you can get to what the inventor proposed. I had to adjust it slightly to get the outer circle within a fortieth of an inch. The guiding stand is a non-symmetrical oval according to Fig 4. Print Fig 4 and trace the oval if you wish to confirm.

Notice the smooth inward change to center in the lower to middle left and the explosive outward change in the upper left on the last column of the spreadsheet.

If only one set of weights were used with this setup then only momentum could get you thru the upper left to receive the needed CW rotational impact at the end of the acceleration phase. It seems that more than one set would be required to add additional leverage and momentum.

Very Nice - Thanks LarryC

Maybe you could expand the template by looking at the "Angle of Attack"...especially from 14.0 to 15.5 it have a dramatic change in angle.

Outstanding!

I love to see the results off Dusty's new model..

I have become a bit sceptic, after fiddling around with my own model.

The picture is from the "equilibrium" position..I doubt if more weights do make a change...

I have an tilted avi, but it practically only shows the wheel returning to its "steady state"

@eisenficker2000,

Good job. Never mind skepticism, if that's engineered correctly it should work (friction is the culprit). Let's get some data to see how the center of mass is positioned vs. the axle -- what are the weights of your parts, diameter of wheel etc.? Emotions are not friends of objective research.

EDIT: Also, place all 8 weights. It isn't to be assumed they play no role.
