Beam gravity engine...

Hi, added power output gear and more mass to the support arms.


Relationships I have noticed:

1.greater mass on the support arms the smoother it operates

2.counter torque most be applied to the crank as the planet gear mass moves toward the center and released as the mass moves
   away from the center, if timing of the counter torque is off it start to stall

3. will not operate if the support arms RPM is slow


For this device to be useful, it is going to need a controller board. Two inputs, one to read RPM's of the support arms and one to detect the position of the planet gear weight as it starts to move toward the center. Two outputs to control the electromagnets that will drive a pendulum that will be connected to the crank arm. There maybe a purely mechanical solution, but I can not think of it.... Controller board will be a good winter project. Suggestions and corrections welcome.

.....is an attempt to open a topic about the possibility to imagine and test the variable/oscillatory leverage with / of a beam.
Take a look at : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kRW0ASuBrdc
If this design is unworkable...can we imagine and test a workable one?!

Hi, making progress. I still have to install double bob pendulum. Using overrun clutch to drive main flywheel. If you want me to start a new thread please let me know. I think the problem with the design you posted is it will find equilibrium and stop.

   Hi !
This is not my design ;  somebody ( Kojin ?) posted it on youtube.
It does seem to be a not-workable one (a test can be conclusive)
My challenge was: playing around this simple idea , can we imagine a workable design ( and test...) ?!
The common  starting image can be : a self-swinging seesaw , due to an alternate gravity unbalance.

Hi, a short video update identifying problem areas. I am planning to add a second symmetric weight to each planetary gear and increase the gear ratio of each planetary gear so they function more as gyroscopes. Then the device will act more like a standard flywheel with the added benefit of precession. It should also solve the input timing problem with the pendulum.
