This video of turkey and the video of Chas Campbell indicates to me that the Lead out theory is real,

The machine works by barely noticeable lobe on the yellow reflector, wich causes pulley squeeze and pulling, read my analysis back in this thread.

Thus creating pulses of tangantial force.

Very interesting webby1

Looking forward to more tests

Thanks for sharing

Still watching with great interest, thanks Webby for continuing to post your efforts.     Time limits prevent me from building at the moment but I'm still squeezing in some schooling on gyroscopes and I recently scored a sweet set of teflon gears that will serve well in a complete quad-unit Skinner build - eventually.

I think your speculation about the unit producing an excess torque is probably correct.  Hazarding a wild guess, I suspect the machine separates inertial and gravitational mass behaviors and the difference results in that extra torque.

One thing that concerns me about my current gyroscopic perspective is the very low speeds that Skinner probably used (we can't assume the machine was actually at operational speed in the Pathe film, but it seems likely).  Gyro behavior is almost nil at low speeds of rotation so that might be a fatal flaw in a gyro theory of Skinner's device.  I'm counting on the mechanics being sensitive to very small forces and from what I've seen in my own and other people's models, that does seem to be the case.

I agree with your observation about the shift in position of the weights during operation. (if I'm reading you right).  While at rest the upper weight falls to the lowest point, directly below the gimbaled driving rod.  At full speed the upper weight is flying in a position approaching 180 degrees opposite of the resting point, and of course as it travels to that point the lower weight goes with it.  Once that transition is over, the device settles into its operating groove but still with some interesting oscillations in speed and position - interesting as clues to operation but undesirable in a working unit since they represent wasted power.

I'm not sure if it was this thread or the other at EF, but somewhere David Quirey noted that his double unit ran at reduced power input compared to his single unit model.  That makes me think that due to the masses being 90 deg out of phase with each other, Skinner's quad embodiment might be necessary to cancel enough oscillations to permit a level of efficiency where OU becomes apparent.

I started a build 3 days ago. I got 25lbs rotating at 60 rpms using 12v and .15amps. My problems is when I connect to a 12"  pulley on the main shaft going to a 2" pulley on a motor/generator it dies. The motor/ gen is 36v 500 watts. This motor is  hard to turn by hand so that's got to be it.

Hi, this is my attempt at a simple style Skinner device. I had poor results. When I added any load the tilt plate stalled.
I look forward to other attempted results.
