The prototype motor parts have come in and in its final stages of completion. We are optimistic that by using Cf as an energy (force) and input that force back into the system, we will be able to solve the problem we all face.

Hi Cameron
Sounds good.
Is this project going to become open source or commercial venture?
Cheers
Sean.
This is the first I've heard of a Centrifugal force motor/device.... do you have any other information you can provide, such as photos, drawings, links to other forums discussing the device?
once we have proof of concept, we will patent all parts that are integral to the machine and issue licenses to manufacture, distribute and retail.

as far as pics, i am hoping to make a video showing input of @ 1500 watts total and able to turn a 5-10 hp generator at full speed with load.
the theroetiacal numbers are much higher ( around 250 hp with 650 lbs of tq at @ 1000 rpm using @2000 watts) once in production, but these numbers and proof should be enough to proceed.

As centrifugal force has been mentioned, here is an idea I knocked up in Working Model awhile ago. Basically it's a sliding balanced arm that has the balance point offset as the two masses have different weights. The idea being that once spun up, the unequal CF and gravity will result in an unbalanced wheel at some 'sweet-spot' as it spins down, causing it to spin forever - at least in my head, mother-nature probably has other ideas! :D
Probably tried a thousand times and found not to work...

"Final stages"
"Optimistic"
"We will be able to solve. . ."
"Once we have proof of concept"
Hey, best of luck to you, but you gotta realize that those phrases have been uttered a thousand times in this arena.
we had one motor running at 5% over, one of the motor shafts bent and good times went bad. last 5-6 months were spent trying to find a dual ended electric motor, very difficult, so we had to redesign the motor and solve the issue.
should have first run in the next 2-4 weeks.

that Cf idea is cool, but the Cf that you are trying to use is going to work against you and balance its own equation.
