New gravity wheel demo video

[alfilmx]

Hi All,
here is a new video of a new wheel:

Looks very interesting.

I wonder how it will exactly work ?

Many thanks.

It won't.  Notice in the video every time the wheel slows down, there is a splice and the wheel is spinning again at full speed.  I believe this happened at least 4 times during that video.  It was a nice set-up and obviously the guy spent a lot of time thinking and building this machine but, from where I sit, it will not work.

Also, I do not like the video manipulations which appear to make it look better than it really is.

This is so similar do what im trying to do it ain't funny,
think of it as 1 big wheel with 2 pendulums attached (or more).
My guess, its using the pendulums outward swing from the center axle (only when the main wheel is at a certain position), causing there to be more weight on that side of the wheel, Now if the pendulum can be latched or held for a certain degrees of rotation when the weight on the left side of the wheel has swung outward, the weight has now been transfered from the pendulums shaft to the outer edge of the wheel ( which is further out than the pendulum axle), thus creating more leverage, while the opposite pendulums weight is not transfered outward as its not latched to the wheel so its weight is further in the wheel (on the pendulums shaft).

  As the vid states its a work in progress, and probably why there seems to be a motor on 1 of the pendulum wheels, 
as a test or demonstration of the principle behind the idea of using a pendulum to rotate the wheel, not sure if there a catch/latch, or if its the motor powering on and off at the correct moment that causes the pendulum to swing out and  be held for a short time.
Can get the same effect using wm2d, place 2 pendulums evenly on a wheel and place motors on the pendulums pivot, if you can get the motors to power on and off in the correct position the wheel rotates.

  I need to pull my finger out now, as he's probably worked out the mechanics of doing this without using a motor.
I'm not happy , as this idea is the most promising of the hundreds of concepts I've drawn.

Welcome to the forum. The size is impressive, but what you are doing is just a hanging weight flywheel for the weight transfer to the point of the pivot which makes it balanced.

The video seem to be having the same problem but your position holding of the weights do allow an impressive takeoff, but will flywheel after that.

Booth of you will need to find a control method to make the weights overbalance. I have seen the same effect in several of my past wheel designs before I added the extra equipment to attempt to control.

Good Luck
