1939 Gravity Power - multiply power by 1200%

[gotoluc]

Not in any order...


That is when I saw the rotary motion, in your video... it was a game changer for sure, thank you!
I was just trying to re-enforce your observation by running the video again for those that had missed
the obvious implications. I can not understand anyone who could dismiss this as mere conjecture.

Luc the offset in the ends of the rods, if that is what they are, are not really critical to the operation of the machine.


I see the 'principle' as being the same. That is,  they both contribute in their own way. It is a matter of size.  The small one runs the big one. Without the small one the big one would need a bigger motor. One can take this to the next level and go to three sections the top two as per the present build the lower one
scaled up with an enormous weight.  So just a top unit might make 1/2 of a horse power... just the lower section run with a 1/2 horse motor might make 2  horse power... (fill in your own numbers.)


That's is why I said the small motor runs the top unit... the top unit runs the bottom unit, makes sense?
They both run on gravity.

Thanks for your view on this Ron.
I asked because I'm getting the feeling the upper is lever action and falling gravity action and the lower looks more like a centrifugal action.

Should have my first replication up in a few days.

Also, thanks for all your kind words in your post above.

Luc, does Arto's sketch answer your question on the turned down 'bent' rod ends?


Ron

Could very well work for the top. See my reply (above) to Arto

Can the motion be emulated by interpolation software and diffenrential feedback drives. The rates are all different for each array , I think of it as a big cnc puzzle ?

Are the beams an intrinsic and necessary part, and can this concept be factorised into something else ?

It  does not fit into many houses , as is, would an 7 foot high be as good as an 9 foot high ?

That ball joint bearing is an interesting idea Artoj!... Mr. Skinner could of incorporated it in his shaft ends and used the reinforcements harness to hold it.
This may explain the pictures I posted in the previous page with the shaft stub out of alignment with the shafts. Also notice the stubs are black, so he could of adapted a car ball joint or tie rod end.

Hi All,
Similar accessory use spherical bearings.

Hi All,
Similar accessory use spherical bearings.

Yes, that's a good bearing for this kind of thing!
