Pirate,

I think I posted the wrong patent. I found five patents in the name of the inventor and picked up one of them. I am afraid I got the wrong one.

I am sorry.

No problem, I didn't even notice.

Conrad:

I agree about the leverage result being the same.

Groundloop:

OK, that explains it...I understand now, ha ha.

It would be nice if someone can replicate this in Working Model 2D or some kind of physics simulation program.
Things are becoming a little bit more clearer now and it seems like this system doesn't have to be huge in size to work.

Wow! Nice build, does it work?

The patent for power multiplier reminds me of the stone crushers, a toggle joint with an extra arm attached.

"When the mechanism is reaching its toggle position, a small input torque can generate an extremely large output torque, where its mechanical advantage is being infinitely maximal. At such situation, the mechanism is called a toggle mechanism. The toggle mechanisms can be used in the situation when one needs to output large force subject to a short stroke, for example, the stone crushers and mechanical presses, etc."

So in order to make the short output stroke useful to drive the shaft they have to build massive.

I bet you your next welfare check it doesn't work. care to double it? think you can fool mother nature using macro physics? lets triple it. what do you say? I will own your debit card.
