Gravity- Overbalanced- Magnet wheel br0k2e

[br0k2e]

I took at shot at a device that popped in my head. I googled and found that it was near to the concept of the abeling gravity wheel, but does not use a "wheel" concept, instead pistons.

I am a novice at all things construction oriented so here is the device and maybe some one can get it to work. The idea is to have a ramp lined with magnets and magnets on the end of each piston . The idea is that it would force the rod to the other side of the axis , overbalancing the object causing it to rotate.

This is as far as some one built it for me....

Anyone think this has a chance of working???

So I see there has been some views on my topic. Can some one perhaps explain to me if the device was finished why it may or may not work? Thanks!

one side has "x" amount of force pulling in one direction, when the magnet is attracted to the metal

other side has the exact same force going the other way, which balances the system out

the magnets can never escape the system because both sides are balanced

This is a Bhaskara Wheel, known for centuries, with a ramp. One good contemporary variant of this wheel is Sjack Abeling's, discussed at length in this forum. The foum doesn't need to be cluttered further with any more threads with trivial ideas. What the forum needs is to see practical engineering solutions of working devices.

Who are you to say what can and cannot be discussed. This is an open forum where people are free to discuss anything and everything. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Also, I think it would be a pretty boring site if we could only discuss "working devices". Do you actually know of any?
