Can this work ?

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Please read carefully !

If one starts with the established observations:  1)Gravity is a conservative field and 2) Your machine has real losses: Then it is game over before you start.  A pendulum no matter how complex has losses that unless compensated by an external energy supply prevent it from reaching the same apogee as where it started. 

As a point of reference:  You can ask 'honest Wayne Travis' how his efforts to establish a cheat on the conservative nature of gravity are going.

Yes Mark .. that is the established view/starting observations, & I am well aware of those ordinary mechanical limitations.

In this case the rotor turns CW thru imbalance [real CG is to the right of vertical] & accelerates from tdc to bdc just as a pendulum would, gaining velocity, momentum & Ke, whilst losing Pe - no surprises there !

At or near bdc the Roberval Balance Gearing System [RBGS] is engaged by way of a clutch so that the T-Bar remains horizontal in orientation & most importantly the system is in weight balance & coasts onwards N.B. the virtual CG has changed to the position of the CoR so has neutral torque effect i.e. no reverse torque effect.

N.B. the sliding Diver mass transitions laterally [the "switch"] at tdc & prepares for the imbalance mode half rotation.

Feel free to sim it for yourself ! At least sim the two modes to see if your observations hold true.

Fletcher, all of the actions that lock / unlock cost energy.  Complicating things by moving the cg around, adding clutches and such: complicates the analysis, increasess loss, and hastens the run down.

a member of crankiwheel.com , how interresting. How are the vermins doing ?

his idea is superior to yours in every level

notice that yours is but a remodel of that.

I believe energy comes from pulse, lead out. theory.

either that or it wasnt overunity, there was no current measurement, loaded for very short time.

Nevertheless, he went farther than you.
