Great job Howard. Considering doing a build.

@Happyfunball,
Thanks,
A lot of the parts can be found at the local hardware store. You might want to make it smaller. That’s what I would do if I were to build another one. Going up and down that ladder can be a pain. My YOG is configured around a 7:1 ratio on the lever.

Note the array’s arc to the fulcrum is hard to change unless you redo the arc. If you decide later to increase the long side of the lever after you build the arc, you will have to redo the arc’s curve. Because the radius of the lever will end up hitting the ends of the array. I used a long piece of wood attached a router on one end and the other end I had a hole with a bolt thru the fulcrum to guide my cut.

If any body has any questions on building one let me know.

Howard


@Nightlife,
Your repeating the same points that was already addressed. I don’t see the point of repeating myself over and over. Please read again and stop guessing. Your welcome to do your own test.

Remember I do have it right here. What I report are the data I get.

I don’t view anybody that does not take the time to read seriously, Has it even cross your mind that I would have done that weight test first before posting a claim.   Think               


If you still have concerns. Be patience for my next video.

LOL, I had already tested this a couple of years ago and I am telling you that you are not taking into account of the calculations needed. You can not just say the force of the hit is more then the force of the start. You have to calculate the distance in the mix.
Add the distance from the bottom to the exit and divide it by the drop force and then compare your findings to the start force or add the distance from the bottom to the the start and multiply it by the start force and compare that to the drop force. You have yet to show those figures which you must take into consideration. I did these things already and I am telling you that you are not even close to perpetual motion not to mention your false claims of over unity.

Nightlife,
You claim you tested this a couple of years ago? Ok then, lets see it! Where’s your video?  I’m calling you out! I’m telling you can’t get 1.3 pounds from dropping 0.3 pounds from 10 feet. Isn’t the real fact is you’re the one making false claims.

Now you’re arguing about types of measurements. Again Please Read! You’re late. I posted this to Stefan.

Ok Stefan,
Your right.
I should not use the striking force.
I can live with that. I will just have to find a better way to measure.
I now stand down from my latest video claiming Conclusive Proof that I have achieved OU.   

Regards,
Howard G. Yu

Nightlife, blowing your horn trumpet trying to show how smart you are, is not working. It’s clear I measured force and not energy. There for I can’t really say it’s conclusive proof YET. I’m working on different measurements in my next video.

I’m not to proud to admit it.

I dare you to.

If you still have concerns. Be patience for my next video.

Howard, there was no reason for me to have recorded my test because  there was  no gain to record. I will however give this next link to a u shaped array that I posted to prove to another member that I could pass thru a u shaped curve. The array you are about to see is one I have used many times in many different experiments because it is the best one I have been able to create for this type of use. I refer to this array as the nightlife array.

I have since created jigs for making the array. This array has been used to do what you are doing as well as many different ways. The one I am now working on has three arms and four different arrays. I do not record my results unless they are what I hoped for.
I have started one array at 7 o'clock and ending at 1 o'clock. I would start the draw at 10 o'clock and it would pass over 12 and pass thru the gate at  1 o'clock but it would not go far enough around to be picked back up by the draw at 10 o'clock. I did however find that the arm traveled further around when I started the array at 7 o'clock then it did starting it at 10:00. I also found that the arm went further around starting at 12:01 without magnets then it did with the array starting at 10:00 and ending at 1:00.

I doubt you accounted for the weight of the arm which must be factored in.

You don't want to get into a pissing match with me. I am only trying to help you save some time. I am not book smart but common sense is one of my fortes.   

@nightlife

Do you think Howard thinks his arm will enter and exit the array without any additional force? He doesn't. This is magnetism combined with gravity/ momentum. There isn't any doubt that the YOG shows a gain in arm travel, the question is whether it's more than the force required to turn the arm magnet. It seems to me that we see increasing potential energy with which to turn the magnet. Imo it's not overunity for the first few passes but might be afterwards.
