New accelerating gravity wheel ! Converted video from www.newenergymachine.com !

Hi Larry,
I remember seeing this earlier design on his website. This one obviously doesn't rotate. I think the article that referred to this picture mentioned that it went back and forth like a see saw.
(edit) This was the sentence I was remembering but I guess it did rotate.....

"The machine ? which only requires a little bit of start-up juice before it creates enough power to sustain itself - works much like a teeter-totter, using a series of sliding weights that, with the help of the earths gravitational pull, force the unit to continue spinning around in a circle."

The latest one from the 2007 video seems to be quite different. I stepped though it second by second and it didn't appear that the weights moved very far at all and seemed to rotate which is why I thought about this new design.
Take another look at the video and see what you think.

In the video, after the  brake release and the other side comes around you can see the large shock that is in the picture. I still think the picture is a front view of the machine in the video. The front view is deceptive as the two flat side plates can be very thin.

Also, think that the weights are just moving later when the machine is at high speed. In fact, the machine would probably need some kind of speed related timing cam and actuator arm changes to work at it's most efficient at different speeds.

Hi Larry,
I made some modifications to my last design and I think I will go with that one. Mainly because I have the material on hand and second, I'm still in the dark with regard to Bob's. If I can get it to work, I'll be back and post my results. If you get Bob's design to work, let me know.
Best,
Charlie

Okay, best of luck on your build.

I noticed something else in the picture. Right below the weight close to the center is a bellow shock (need to blow it up to see it). The air cylinder tubing is run to the center and distributed to the bellow shocks with other tubing. He may not be using springs here because the cylinders energy can be stored and release when needed. This way he only has to have a latch that can handle the end springs in compression. Makes the 'machine will tear itself apart' comment, more understanderable, now that I see he is absorbing the impact of both weights.

Since I do not plan on building a machine that large, I still hope it can work just using springs on both weights.

Regards, Larry

LarryC:

Thanks for posting that picture.  I think I learned a lot when I zoomed in on it.  This is the best
photo of this device I have ever seen.  You can even read the clock in the background. (2:05)

I have been following this topic for a long while now.  After seeing this photo, I believe this guy might have actually done it.  The hydraulic hoses bothered me for a while but now I see they rotate with the device and appear not to lead off to a pump anywhere next to the machine.  Thanks again for the photo.  Much better info than in the video I watched.
