1939 Gravity Power - multiply power by 1200%

Hi Ron, that is exactly what is needed.
Luc, Looking forward to your build.
Craig, I like your work ,but that is only half the build, add the lever action to your connection points in the transition plate, then everything changes.
The lever does rotate , but is that because ...it is being driven,...or is just a result of centrifugal force?
Is the only input directed towards moving the levers' back and forth, or also rotating along with back and forth??
The lower shafts have truss kits on them , the same as , grain handeling systems down spouts, they act as a stiffener.
An offset center on the input shaft to the transition plate will create the elptical orbit , that is the key .
Just what I've seen so far...but I'm usually wrong

hi shylo..... i think there are various way of doing this , in my third video i use a linear motion, since i thought it was linear....that might not be how Mr Skinner did it but there was no direct drive, and the input was decoupled from the output. Unlike Mr Skinnner i was tilting the table at 0 degrees and 180 degrees instead of tilting the table for all 360 degrees ...

in the last video number 4 i directly drive the shaft with a belt drive....ok this is wrong in that there should not be a rotary transmission right down to the coupler with offset weight. Tis the tilting that would get this to spin normally ,....but many of the effects are displayed even when powered like this.... since the large weight is still decoupled from the system...I see no need to replicate the fancy trousers of the inventor but i do see a need to try all te configurations along the way.. The model is doing all that spinning on around a watt of input its an old tape deck motor.

I will have the gimbals made tomorrow with a bit of luck and will try and get a sony walkman motor to drive it..but this machine is getting too tall

Adapted the test rig slightly

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

Hi Craigy,

this tests prototype is looking better

Thanks for sharing

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)


Ron

Could be Ron... but if that's the case then the shaft could just be bent.
