My Invention

[AB Hammer]

   @All,
  A cleaner drawing. The one I will build will use a deck with cleats. Somewhat of a homeage
to my having been around ships.
If the release line is attached to the top part of the catch mechnism, then when the line is pulled
taut, it should release the swinging weight. The weight can have the rod to the fulcrum going
through it. This will allow it to slide slightly up it as it pushes the catch mechanism away before
the catch mechanism moves under the swinging weight to catch it on it's return movement. it is this line which will
time the movement or rocking/tilting of the cross beam. The catch mechanism can catch pins that are located on the
sides of the weights. This means that there woulld be 2 catch mechanisms working together, one for each side of the
weight.
The cross beam's motion can be controlled by stops placed on the cross beam which interact with the
main support that the cross beam pivots on.
The pulley for the opposing weight can be attached to the main support at about an angle of 45 degrees.
This will allow the force the line places on the pin or pulley to be in the direction of the support.
The basic size from center pivot of the cross bem to the center of the pin for the swing weight is
12" (inches). The cross beam is centered length wise to maintain it's balance between left and right.

And to modify the agreement I posted, I do not work with private builders
associated with the Arrache build group.
This includes AB Hammer.

To set a story straight. Most of us will not work with James Lindgaard either. But I do wish Jim the best of luck.

PS- Yes Jim, I am still around. I just don't post much due to I don't have the time with all the reconstruction going on.

Well James suggested an approach to closing the loop with the 2SO and it looks promising.  He is just another guy trying to solve the riddle.  I respect that.  I will help anyone that I can, assuming I can afford it and it does not distract too much from my own build.  I have limited experience with all the designs presented so I don't post much.  In fact, I only recently started posting on this forum because of my past experience and belief in the 2SO.  I will share my build in time.  I have no desire to patent.

 that's nice alan.
and maybe the next time you of someone working through cancer, you will leave them alone ?
and you are right, my dad isn't to smart. after all, he did move to America.
I can work off line and if my work doesn't look like it's the only thing I've ever done, that's okay because I will have done other things.
You know what they say, Jack of all trades anc master of none.
I can live with that.

edited to add; without a patent on a perpetual pendulum, only businesses would profit and who knows what else would ensue such as legal battles. but dic find out a willingness to donate patent rights brought about the same old problems.
of course, like alan and his friends say is that bessler's wheel can be patented because no one knows what his wheel was like. integrity ?

James,

I think my evening is open tonight so I really want to move on to the next test.  This would be to move the cord attachment point from the counter weight to a position between the weight and main lever pivot point.  This will increase the down force caused by the counter weight but will also shorten the distance the bob is lifted.  I have no doubt a reset movement will occur, but how much movement is the question.  Sorry I haven't tested all of your suggestions yet.  I have every intention to do so, I just need more time.

I have a stack of memory sticks here with me at work today.  If one of them has my old 2SO vids, I will post.

I should clarify my position on patenting.  I would like to (if for no other reason than to protect my right to sell and profit from the invention), but after reading so much about this, I'm not sure I want the headache of it all.

Of course patenting implies one has found the solution, so I guess we all hope to be put in such a position.
