Beam gravity engine...

[iacob alex]

.....is on the line or can be a manner of (re)thinking about a possible gravity powered engine , if we take into consideration an old Middle Ages (~1705) machine , at :     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_engine
All we need to do is simply , to replace the "wprking push" : the steam with the gravity unbalance (torque difference).
As a matter of fact , we can rethink the constant beam as a variable (leverage) one.

Greetings, I am working on a similar project on a small scale. I plan to use a PMA to charge a cap and have a cam on the drive shaft trigger a discharge to a pair of electromagnets for a positive feedback to the system. I still have fabricate the beam and the unbalance flywheel. I can fabricate gears to use for shifting the weights on the flywheel. If you have any ideas that will help, I can fabricate it for testing. Thanks for posting your project.

     Hi !
My domain is to play gravity with a lever ("beam").Take a look at  a net archive :

Maybe...it can help your planned project.

Hi, you have a lot of interesting ideas. Thanks for posting. I completed the gear set to shift the weight on the flywheel. I plan to start with the most basic configuration. One weight will be stationary and the other weight will orbit in a eliptical path. Starting fabrication of the beam. Will post results after fabrication. Thanks again.

Hi, I fabricated a quick frame to identify the problem areas. The biggest problem is I need the electromagnets to trigger at 0 and 180 degrees. The mechanism will only allow for triggering at at 90 and 270 degrees. Is there a mechanical configuration that I can use that will help or allow the trigger location to shift 90 degrees.  The electromagnet are pulsed with power so they are on for only a short time. .
