hi,

I am only too happy to help or advise or give input.

what is your goal?

Is it an energy device or a means of converting energy from say wave action to electricity?

I would say my goal is not as well defined as it should be. A while back I noticed how well a baby swing moved weight and consumed very little energy. It seemed to me that there should be some way to covert this to power generation. After seeing Milkovic’s device I felt encouraged to make a working model of my idea.
 
Improving efficiency of what I have I suppose.

My limited education leaves me ill equipped to make valid arguments in this forum so I’m stuck with trial and error and any advice I receive. There are “to me” obvious problems without deductive capacity or a fat enough wallet to solve.

I can see from the tests that if I lessen the load, I get more travel of the lever and less cycles from the pendulum. So that tells me if I decrease friction, I will increase the power needed to drive the pendulum.  If I increase the load I loose distance. If I increase the gear ratios, gear lash and friction are greater.   
I accept your offer
Thanks
Dave

Hi 1quasar1,

I think you are right to find the pendulum a thought provoking device.

It does have a beautiful simplicity to it.

In weighing it is used as a near frictionless balance with a knife sitting in a v-groove.

As a means of transport it could be interesting if instead of a cable chair system we had pendulums that simply transfer loads a bit like Tarzan swinging in the jungle.

If the friction losses are very low then perhaps a number of such pendulums could convey cargo down a gentle slope with no power needed.

Since lots of communities need to transport from highlands to the coast for export there could be something worthwhile in a zero power consumption pendulum conveyor. It would also be a fantastic tourist drawcard.

What do you think?

Thinking hurts my head Phil, but that felt like a 2x4 hit me. ??? Looks like more trial and error.
I will try and post a video tomorrow showing some of the effects I've observed.
Thanks
Dave

I'II look forward to seeing that Dave.
