1939 Gravity Power - multiply power by 1200%

[turbogt16v]

I have just notice that the top rood(lever) the only one that is balanced is moving in circles and not just linear left to right.
Don't know if you already notice that ,if you see video 36 to 38 sec ,you will see shadow of the bar like its twisting.

indeed ..the top plate with the smaller weight attached rotates around a central shaft,

The central shaft slides left and right...the centrifugal force developed by the smaller weight ensures that the shaft is pushed into each end of travel.

not been here for 5 years good job my password still works

i have started building a small model to undertand what is going on..I am more of a hands on person and that is the best way for me to learn and understand this mechinism.

I have a thought experiment..Imagine a child with effiel tower balanced on its peak, upside down. any input energy to move it off center is equal to the energy to return it to equilibrium..

Now while the device is chasing a continually moving center of gravity , how do we move the center of gravity without expelling the same amount of energy that is gained?

I believe that the secret lies in the centrifugal forces of the second weight. As it spins round and around, its centrifugal force is used to push the main shaft or axis back and forth in its slot..it is that "Extra Energy" that moves the axis, which allows a change in the position of the center of gravity..when you study the orbit of the smaller weight it is clear that it is creating a force vector in the direction of the slot, that vector reverses every 180 degrees..

the energy required by simply moving the center of gravity would cancel as per standard laws..but very little of the input energy is knocking the shaft off center , it is mostly centrifugal force doing the knocking..

I wonder if there are any springs on the sliding mechanism. since the centrifugal force could both compress springs and shift centers of gravity


my build to date

You certainly said a mouthful, and it's clear that you're on the right track.  At the rate you're going, it won't be long before you realize what Skinner was talking about when he stated that "improvements can be made".  You'll have the whole thing turned over on it's side before it's over.

Which won't be such a bad idea when the time comes....


Happy Trails,

progress...ok i was only testing out my swash plate so don't go saying i got it wrong...lol need to power it up and then prony brake the output when the weght and its off center bearing thingy are added

The top is turning in a true circle as far as I'm concern, so wouldn't small bends in opposite ways to each end of the shaft allow the top to swing and base to stay true?

Hi Luc,


Couldn't resist a small demo myself... no output shaft but a bearing on the tilt plate to show that
there is no input from the shaft. Now I realise that W S's model has the weights fixed to the shaft
but this is more to keep all eight sections in sync, right?
