4 PISTON MOTOR THAT JUST MIGHT WORK. YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE...

I should have ordered more gears.

The six piston device uses less gears.

The animations of 2/4/6 piston motors are very nice
And its an old but interesting idea. Worth trying.

My knee jerk response after watching the animations is that it will halt quickly somewhere with pistons at mid way. There is nothing in it which will encourage pistons to go on after they find an equilibrium.

I also saw this attempt by yourself (perhaps) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jFT1Ze6igI

It would be better if you can simply rotate the plexiglass wheel using a small motor just at the right speed. This will eliminate a lot of mechanical stuff and losses.
If the energy out of the output wheel is more than the energy consumed by the motor, you have something.

The whole thing together is a flywheel, that should keep it going.
The shielding prevent the system to slow down and possibly return direction as it would without it.
Whether pistons in this kind of a setup are the most efficient energy transfer, I am less sure.

Tommey Reed's rotary piston patent pending concept and double ratchet system comes to mind.
His recent UO circuit ideas didn't work, perhaps he'd offer his piston insight towards achieving OU in relation to rotating or swinging magnetical shields.
Just might work, and work really well.

Hello all,

I did not stop working on my other ideas, but engines is what I do know......
My patented rotary engine is a great design and my patent pending ratchet engine is also very good.
The ratchet engine offers total efficiency up to 95%  with 5% of machanical lose.
I am working on many projects, but the ratchet engine is one of the simple one to build, it offers any pressure being forced on any size piston to convert it in to rotational energy.
In other words, if 120 psi is being forced on to a 1" x1" area the total output of the shaft will be 10ft/lb, not in/lb.
I will bring up that video to show the torque and power output soon.

I'm still looking into some mistakes I made on the pulse motor, as you all have seen all the videos was remove because of my mistakes....
