Gravity wheel of Mikhail Dmitriyev

@Omnibus .Very interesting post , but could you please state categorically if you think this device is a fraud , or if you think it could work . If you look at all the videos in The article posted in Peswiki news today , you will notice that one version of the device does not have a drive motor . The "flails" that swing the weights are powered by a chain drive from the shaft . This is interesting , because it is obviously an attempt at a looped self runner . If the device is , as claimed about 200% overunity , this could work because a chain drive in good condition can be better than 95% efficient . If that leaves even one watt to spare as output , then we have cracked it . For replicators , there are at least two alternatives to the expensive one way ratchet bearings . One is , cheap ratchet spanners . the other is a bicycle rear hub with freewheel sprocket . If you want to attempt the motor drive version , a car windscreen wiper mech contains a motor with suitable reduction drive gearbox.

I don't know if it's a fraud or not but the whole approach here seems very similar to all these Kapanadze's, Torbay's, Abeling's and what not, trying to wet the appetite of gullible investors or to make others make it (for lack of own funds) and then claim it and so on. If it's a self-runner the guy should go out of his way to help other parties reproduce it. So far I consider it void of any merit as an OU device. The ball is in his court. If we need a "brute force" device with minimal input energy we already have the one by Paul Sprain. That's the best I've seen so far and yet he still needs to not only prove it really is OU but to make it self-sustaining.

Suddenly I smell Bullshit . AS described in my last post , one version has the weights moved by a device chain driven from the shaft . This version obviously failed to work , because if you look at one of his motorised versions , it still has that same sprocket mounted on the main wheel shaft . So why would he dismantle a self sustaining version in order to make a motorised version? That would make as much sense as destroying some diamonds to get carbon to make carbon brushes . He claims that several Russians are powering their homes with it . So why wouldn't one of them bring this technology to Europe and try to make a fortune with it ? Enough Russians find the money to come here to take low paid jobs . If it smells like bullshit it is bullshit . No exceptions . The guy is either deluded , or for reasons beyond me , is lying .

@neptune,
I really like this idea, but like you I am sceptical. For the output claims he has made to sterling, I would have to ask, "where's a video of one that's powering a house?". I think we'll see soon though, because it does look easy to build, and I'm sure someone will replicate soon. On a positive note though, He is open sourcing and seems to not have anything to hide.

@gdez . No one wants to believe this is real more than I do . But wishing does not make it so . Free Energy is not a religion , but is in danger of becoming one . That way lies madness . As always we must wait and see , and wait and wait...
