Have you degreased the bearings and used a dry lube,, something like graphite?

This can reduce the frictional losses at low speeds a fair amount.

No.  Please keep posting your good suggestions.

The Yuen and Chan Wheel experiments taught me an important lesson.  A concept may look easy and simple on paper.  Turning that concept into reality may require super human effort.

The buying of old bicycle wheels appeared to be a good idea.  In realily, we could not get matching pairs easily.  The Yuen Wheel will exceed buget as we start to experiment with the 4 wheel configuration.

May the Lord guide and bless the Engineers.

When I was scavenging parts to build Franken Bike I found it cheaper to buy an old used bike or two than to buy just the parts I needed.

It looks like you are using a piece of all-thread for your axle,, if so I would not suggest using that since it is not always round.  Also with that, the threads themselves lead to stress cracks and provide for a nice spot for things to bend,, so pulsing the weight will flex the all-thread much more than a solid rod.

I will use either aluminum or copper tape to "shim" an undersized axle up,, if it is really close I will use Super Glue with a little talcum powered mixed in ,, or baking soda,, or anything I can find that is really fine or I will stake the axle where the bearing inner race is going to sit,, staking is taking a center punch and making a bunch of uniform indentations on the axle in the area the race will be,, the dimples in also mean the metal has been pushed up and out making the diameter a little larger.

Good luck with your build!

Thank you for your suggestions.  Tried the 4 wheel configuration.  The shaft was bent slightly.  Number of rotations increased but did not double as expected.  Shall place the wheels close together.  Two inside the frame.

I am going to provide the actual test data for all to examine and make suggestions.

The attached first results here were done on Oct 30, 2014 by Lawrence Tseung and Peter Chan.

The Frame was borrowed from Chan Wheel. A video with the helper Linda was done. It was important to have the videos because results might not always be reproducible.  The reasons include:



1.    The two bearing alignments were judged by eye and feel.  Slight misalignment could produce considerable friction.

2.    The threaded shaft did not fit the bearings exactly.

3.    There was detectable shaking as the wheels were unbalanced.

4.    The weight positions were estimated and were not accurate.

5.    Shifting of shaft was detected.



The best result was with 3 weights on Wheel A at 0, 120, 240 and 3 weights on Wheel B at 60, 180 and 300 degree positions.  The result might have been better if not for the shifting of the shaft.  Careful examination of the video showed possibility of leading out of gravitational energy.  At slow (dying) rotations, the sudden accelerations were clearly visible.

Note the many accelerations when the rotational speed started to slow down.  Such accelerations represented pulsing that would lead out gravitational energy.  The weights should be arranged so that the pulsings reinforce the rotation similar to pushing the swing at the right time.  We still had not mastered the technique yet.  We may reduce the number of weights and experiment more.

If a large wheel were used, such timing can be easier.  The energy lead-out or bring-in will be larger and the weights can be heavier.  This is the reason why Bessler went for large wheels.

The theory and the general direction is correct.  The engineering was still not correct.  The best number of revolutions was only 70 turns with the 4-wheel configuration.  We did not get close to the 150 revolutions when we used the Chan Wheel Frame on Oct 31.  We shall try to tune more.

We shall make our first presentation to investors this afternoon.  Attached is the planned presentation.

The key points we want to get across are:
1.  The Lead-out Energy Theory is not patentable.  It has been out for over 8 years.  However, many products based on it may be patentable (if not already patented).  Our goal is to benefit humanity.  The World will have abundant, easy to access and non-polluting energy.
2.  When we can continuously lead-out or bring-in external energy, the "device" can run forever.  However, that is NOT the impossible perpetual motion machine that violates the Law of Conservation of Energy.  It is the lead-out or bring-in energy machine.
3.  Many looked at the Milkovic 2 stage pendulum for years but did not see.  It clearly brings in gravitational energy during the lifting of the Weight.  The amplitude of pendulum does not decrease.
4.  The Chan Wheel clearly demonstrated Balanced Rotation will not produce the Jumping Effect of Unbalanced Wheels.
5.  The Yuen Wheel is likely to be the long lost Bessler Wheel.
6.  If we can bring-in gravitational energy, we can definitely bring-in magnetic and electromagnetic energy.  This can be confirmed by the horizontal pendulum.
7. Pulse systems are now easy to understand.  They can bring-in electromagnetic energy and self running is not only theoretically possible.  The WITTS youtube video clearly showed that.
8. Bedini, Tong, Ting, Chas Campbell wheels are theoretically sound and they lead-out Electron Cloud Energy.
