1939 Gravity Power - multiply power by 1200%

Luc,


This is my 900th post... watch out, I'm catching up! LOL


I made many of those talking to our good friend Thane.


I do hope my little contribution here is not taken the wrong way but this linear
motion thing has bothered me from the beginning, anyway, no offence everyone.


Take Care

Congratulations on you 900th post Ron.

I think I've figured out why Mr. Skinner has reinforcements rods on the lower shaft. I think he arks the shaft and then welded the reinforcements rods so the shaft stays arked. Maybe the effect of gravity with the arked shaft keeps the weight in a more specific area and also no need for a universal joint at the bottom.

Food for thought

Luc that maybe possible, but also I think it maybe to keep out shaft whip, looking at the center disc!!! there is a lot of weight spining around and any whip just might be counter productive

Hi Mike, yes I agree and have previously written it was used for reinforcement but now think it's also be used for creating an ark.
The ark makes sense as it's quite clear the weight of the bottom shaft will always be falling on the outside throughout its rotation.

Adapted the test rig slightly

the smaller weght whips its larger counterpart into action, very interesting startup and recovery sync effects

Thanks Luc,


Here is my take on the gimbal

I don't think the lower shaft need be arked... maybe a hinged type of joint,
then set and forget? (change the square to round)
