Hi !
A similarity with a trebuchet (a "particular" lever...) solution has a lot of advantages:
-simplicity
-a single variable arm
-an apparent "greater fall" (from 0* to 180*,than from 180* to ~ 360*),so twice as much equivalent for a certain height.
After a full turning motion (0* to ~360*),all we need is a brief-time "self" for the variable arm(short arm into long arm).
If so...we have an incessant motion,due to gravity and inertia.

.....playing unbalance , at :

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bkFwjkUoPPQ (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bkFwjkUoPPQ) ...but you know : no free fall , no "free" power...
An idea is something existing in the mind.
A test is an achievement in the real world ("outside the mind" ...).
The difference is our relation with the reality...

.....is an one-way street to understanding , but a two-way street to develop any mechanical design/device.
If you break up any "wheel design" , into two halves (related to the vertical line of the fulcrum ) , you will discover al-ways a " lever equivalence "...this "phantom" can be the "key" for evolving to a possible "self" motion , if we maintain a continuous gravity unbalance ( torque difference on the same side of the fulcrum ) , in your own manner.
As usually , whatever we cannot understand...we cannot possess.
