Weightless Weight

[Lilhawk]

Ok I tried  that "fix" ....well before I had balance but at an useless angle...and the seesaw at a flat angle felt no resistance( way off balance)

now....I can't find a balance point but ..... I do feel a resistance throught out a decent range in the seesaw

Ok ...well this got me thinking ....one more "fix" to try before I give up on this...

Alexioco,

This is a very interesting lever-design...
What happens if we pull the string around the rim of a circle, instead of straight..

Well, we will have a differens of approx. +/- 10 % to the opposite side !

The big question is: Will we still have balance?

Firstly let me say I have built this...

The seesaw balances even when its straight, you can even make it balance with the righthand side of the seesaw facing down (just slighty though) the weight makes itself light by appling its own weight to balance itself at any point of the lift so a light weight can lift a heavy weight.... This is just one of (32) of my drawn devices which I shall post over a period of time, they all have different ways of working, my latest design seems to be very promising, the weight should be able to lift itself without any help at all...

back to this one though, this design has alot of capablitlies which some are quite funny...

for example, if you had a large seesaw you could scale up a building by standing in a lift (you are the weight instead) and by jumping up, the mechanism would follow you up then when you land, you wont fall back down, you can also play on a seesaw without the need for somone the other side hahaha

What? Why hold?
Which design did you built, Alexioco?

The 'T' as you posted in your opening post or my latest 'Y-Lever Wheel' design proposal?

Anyway...try to SWING the weight...give it at slight push and see what happens! Amazing stuff...

Alex...please post something more than one design picture and saying this works...I like this idea so I tried  it and posted my results and my opinion why your design does not work.  I'm still working on this...trying different versions of your design.
