Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

And of course we mustn't forget that chap (one_christian_warrior) with the wheelchair who
provided experimental evidence of energy gain.

It's an interesting co-incidence that ocw and Sjacks device both have an air gap in the cycle
and involve the transit of rotating masses.
In the case of the generator/motor combination we understand what kinetic strains are involved.
In the case of mooie energy we don't.

Offset-gyro microscope magnifying Kinetic Energy Micro Strain (KEMS)

Had Laithwaite sped up his ball and stick KEMS microscope to the point where
a balancing weight was no longer needed, he would have observed the following:
The top weights bend towards the tower.
The bottom weights bend away from the tower.
This bending arises from the back spin giving a differential travel speed to
the top and bottom line of weights, cf. the effect of back spin on a cricket ball.


Thus the top weights rotate around the tower at a lower speed than the bottom weights.
This induces a couple, or moment to use the structural engineering term more
familiar to me, acting on the gyro.
This couple is the pair of centrifugal and centripetal forces holding up the
gyro as it orbits the tower.


What about centrifugal force? Surely this should pull the gyro away from
the tower since the end of its axle is simply resting on a shallow depression on
the top of the tower.


The answer to this conundrum came to me as I was pulling my shopping basket up the
hill from Sainsbury's.


Looking down from the top of the gyro the it will be seen that the top line of weights
is convex towards the the tower whereas the bottom line is concave.
Thus there are two centres of curvature for the path of the weights on either side of
the gyro orbit.
Far from being no centrifugal force there are two.
These act in opposite directions and virtually cancel each other out.

I now understand how Professor Laithwaite was able to lift those heavy gyros.
He was generating EG energy and utilising the rotary reaction of the earth.
Funnily enough I had appreciated the linear reaction of the earth way, way
back  (and met violent opposition for that suggestion) - but I found it again
with the half wave rectification experiments of the combined Vimmy wheel
and pendulum.


I then realised (when thinking about how half wave rectification of
horizontal energy) that the carriage could also give rise to
unbalanced radial earth reaction as the carriage was driven up hill.

I had thought of rotary reaction before but hadn't connected it up
with the other two.

One other thing which needs mentioning is the leverage reaction which Eric
was providing. His two hands gave the moment which was balanced
by an opposite moment of the earth. Had he stood on a friction-less turntable
he wouldn't have been able to provide that moment.

You can see that the horizontal moment he applied is analogous to the
vertical moment which holds the offset gyro up so mysteriously -
mysteriously that is until Laithwaite's KEMS microscope is brought into play.
