Suppose you have a wheel with good unity characteristic. The amount of work percycle will be energy per cycle - resistance per cycle, which is less than unity. The free energy added to this wheel will then be 1/2*F^2*t^2/m where F is the centrifugal force, t=time, m is mass of the object in motion (the wheel in this case). Of course rotating wheel will have inertia characteristic replacing the mass in the equation. The concept is simple. Static force generate energy. The force on rotating object is centrifugal. This energy will depends on the velcity of the wheel and the inertia. However, velocity increase will cause air resistance increase, so there is only certain range of optinum speed to the wheel and specific amount of free energy added per cycle. You must put resistance energy back and what ever left from the free energy is yours, so the free energy is free energy value from equation - resistance. Whatever left you have to put back to turn the wheel. The only failure possibility is the form of energy generate by the static force is unknown. I don't believe it's heat. It's an invisible form, could be static work. However, if you do not add the energy back to the wheel, it'll just generate a big chunk (larger than your initial input) then stop.
I've ran into some error when calculating the energy, can anyone give me a hand on this?
I want to calculate the power or energy dissipation rate of a static force. However, my method seems to have something wrong. I assume the force F for a time period t, the impuse is then mv after the time period. Then I use the velocity to plug in the kinetic energy formula 1/2 mv^2 to attain the total energy I gain during the time interval. However, if I assume the mass of 2m, the velocity in impuse drop to 1/2. Plug it into the kinetic energy equation and it becomes 1/4 mv^2 . Why??? This doesn't seems right. If I push an object with a force F for time t, it doesn't matter what mass I push, the energy should come out the same. Something is inconsistance about energy momentum. Thx if you can help.
to atomicX :
In regards to the air being a friction and thus loosing power/force through drag coefficient..... To over come such anomoly one would have to tap into a vacuum - invisible or not.. I think Telsa had something about it.
Just thinking outside the wheel! Maybe the wheel isn't a wheel. If you're looking to create force from static then you'd need to "release" a vacuum from nothing. You know like dark matter : )
I know harbin take this concept and made a centrifugal unit that achieve overunity. Can I have a check for this? I'm a poor guy ;D In exhange, I'll tell you how it works so one can make even a more efficient, simple machine.
