My Invention

[johnny874]

  @All,
  This a research forum. Idea's are meant to be discussed.
With inventions, thought might be given to patent rights.
This could prevent legal action for ideas that prove to have value.

  if anyone is interested in building this, let me know.
still am open to donating the patent rights to charity.

It doesn't seem like you are getting much action, does it.

For your information.... at least one of the "trolls" that bother you so much has actually done several builds for people, like yourself, who have had ideas that for some reason or another they were unable to implement in an actual model. And on his own dime too.

The real reason why no one has done your "invention" is that even on the face of it, at first examination, any real builder of gadgets can see that it's not workable, AND your own attitude is so bad that nobody wants to work with you.

So the solution is very simple: suck it up and build it yourself.

Go down to your local high school with a technical shop class. They do still have those I hope. Approach the instructor with the same arguments and drawings you have presented here, and see if you can talk him (or her) into helping YOU build your very simple device precisely and accurately out of good materials with proper tooling.

   TinselKoala,
your very first post in this thread, you contradicted yourself. And most people don't need the headache I've had to put up with. Just like AB Hammer saying he will teach me. I do the work and he gets the credit.
I have put forth a fair amount of effort building. Why you and who ever it is yopu are talking about probably have not spent much time studying math to know which detail to pay attention to.
Also, as far as i know, Stefan doesn't have a problem with someone working openly in his forum. It seems the people who have a problem with that are the experts that have no work of their own to show. In that regard, I don't think I've ever seen you or Bill post your own idea and allow it to be cticized or what ever by everybody else.
this could be another reason why people take down their video's. Like Bill posted, I already know what I am working on will not work.
Why don't you bother somebody else ?

   @All,
Here is a vidoe that shows how lifting a weight closer to a cross beams center changes it's relative mass. Sometimes, being mindful of how trigonometry helps to understand this shows how it can work.
If the distance from the center of the fulcrum to the center of gravity of the weight is the hypoteneuse, then we know that if the weight swings to an angle of 30 degrees, that it will have moved in that direction 1/2 the distance of the hypoteneuse.
Simple. And that is what the idea is based on. The counter weight (opposing force) would be a constant.
The picture shows a 2 1/2 lb. weight which would be for a larger scale build. The larger size would make for an easier build.
And since the weight has a hole in it's center, a 1/4" thick board could be bolted to each side of the weight. If it has a slot in it, thewn this would allow for a dowel going through it's center to be lifted. A much simpler idea than trying to get a ratchet type device to work.
Then when the weight has been lifted, a line could lift the dowel allowing it to swing free. Of course the line would need to be attached to the base or the frame.
Not sure when I'll be able to get around to building it. the reality is that not being able to work around my medical problem has made resolving that and getting back to work the number one priority in my life. Still, at some point will get back to building.

youtube is processing it, taking longer than usual. will repost the link when the video is available to me.
