1939 Gravity Power - multiply power by 1200%

[centraflow]

Hi Mike,

I'm quite positive there is no bearing in the mid plate for the upper lever. you can see he has a set screw where the lever enters it.  Have a look at the attached video. You can see the lever is turning exactly with the mid plate, so why have a bearing there when one is at the top of the lever and obviously one in the gimbal?
While you're viewing the video, notice the left lever is swinging in and out as much as the front lever is swinging side to side. I my view his strongly suggest the leave motion is circular.

I'm not trying to contradict you, just bringing to your attention what I have been observing for quite some time.

could be Luc, I don't think it will make much difference, I originally had it welded there so try it that way to start with. Maybe the set screw was just holding a brass bush as a bearing is not really needed, as I have said it is not powered as such.


Speak tomorrow, late here


regards

I can't tell from the video , but is it possible that it is not a set screw , but a grease fitting?
The input drive  ,I think is quite obvious, rotating while moving in an orbit.
The lower shaft  has to be able to rotate in the plate, but also moves in an orbital pattern not opposite of the upper but offset by ~ 90 degrees.

Centraflow, your drawing is right on.

I don't know why everything is being underlined.

Luc  Nice build That's some serious weight ,I noticed that with added weight ,for the same input the speed of the output increased.
Did you try different weights?

Yes, I tried different weights and it does change things but did not study it long enough to confirm anything.

I'm presently modifying the lower shaft and incorporating a universal joint to see if it makes a difference. Should have results of that change tomorrow.

Update

the universal joint is installed and it makes a big different. It operates much like we see in the film. However, it's too late at night to test it because of the noise. Plus I have to anchor it to the garage cement floor.

Tomorrow I'll do many tests and post the results.

Stay tuned

Hi gotoluc,
signs of better results of the test on your device.
congratulations
