Jhula principle - increase speed by applying brakes.

Here is the next one, the Mini Version...

Enjoy !

Looks really neat !
Maybe the spring still needs a bit of different spring coefficient,
so the pendulum will really accelerate !

[hartiberlin]

hi all,
well, I made a model to see the machine doing some work carrying a weight over distance.

Now here is this thing on a waggon and it moves the waggon !

[hartiberlin]

By the way, what is a good and natural setting for the air resistance ?
It was set inside the program, but maybe it is too low ?

I can already get a simular design withouta spring to accelerate to selfdestruction,
if I set the air resistance to Low speed and
at:
0.300 kg/ms

What is a good value for it that correspondens to a normal realworld setup ?

Here, play with it with the attached files.

Is the spring necessary? Or is it just another type of clutching mechanism (to bring the pendulum back)?

I know where to purchase some one-way clutching bearings, but I need confirmation that the physics aren't flawed in this software. Is there friction being calculated within the pivot points?

Anyone know of any other simulation software out there?

As the author of 'newenergymachine' replied on the other thread, springs and air cylinder are used in his machine for damping only... Though, I personally think they may be required for more than that.

But if hartiberlin's model is OK (could you post an AVI please?) without springs, then springs may not be required - and this is what 'newenergymachine' author wrote (without dampers his machine runs into selfdestruction).

As far as WM2D is concerned, I do not think $3000 software can carry invalid physics model. I would sue them if it were.
