Reversing an assumption...

[iacob alex]

.....I have in mind , the equilibrium (balance point) ,of the Earth-Moon barycenter , at :

This natural perpetuum mobile model ,as a starting simple image ( fulcrum,lever,two masses ) ,with a mobile barycenter ,is a well balanced leverage.


The opposite  situation ,can be a continuous unbalanced leverage...this is the status we are looking for our topic.

  Hi Gianna !


Ok ! ... ,you say that  the Earth-Moon system can't   be a  perpetuum mobile explicit example.


Then , what is your starting image ,something to consider ?

The result of this "Earth-Moon barycenter" are the tides.

The change in gravity because of the "moving barycenter" is almost too small to be measured, but the sum effect on the water in the oceans are the tides.

To harvest this "force" one can build a tidal power station (a dam closing off a bay) or wind turbine like propellers which stand in the water where the tidal currents flow very strongly. See http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/technology/hydro/tidal-power/ for more ideas.

An interesting effect are the springs and neaps when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a line. In this cases the "earth moon system" is drawn a little bit closer to the sun or moves a little bit away from the sun.

Just my comments to put the "Earth-Moon barycenter" into perspective.

Very old discussion about "real OU":

There are some power sources which are "endless" from a human point of view. E.g. the sun, the tides, the heat in the earth core, the winds and the constant change of the barometric pressure, just to name some.

In theory sun and earth will end, but we should not worry about that for another billion years. To harness these "endless energies" would be OU for practical reasons.

It is rather unlikely to find pure OU (which would be energy from nothing in contrast to conversion of an existing energy into a useful form).

We should concentrate on using the "endless energies provided by sun and earth". This is very realistic and many good ways of using these energies have been "invented" (solar panels, wind turbines, water turbines, geothermic power stations in Iceland and so on).

But we concentrate on oil, gas and coal. Why is that?

   Hi !
My intention was to expose a very short (from 0:30 to 0:38) sequence from an explanatory movie ,at :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGBANgbRkws
This is related to a variable leverage , as a basic idea of a possible gravity motor.
Sometime ago , I submitted for the public domain (now... "archived")  a lot of designs regarding  this topic , at:
