@ Larry:

Wow!  A lot of force is needed to do that kind of damage.  Good luck with your revisions...don't give up.

Larry-

Hope Ike has not got you down.  We managed to get everyone back to Alexandria okay after all the crap, but we really enjoyed some cajun cooking here in Dallas while they were with us.  Good luck and keep up the good work!  Your last couple of posts have been very EXCITING!

Peace

Hi Sq,

Thanks, I'm still hanging in there. Ike and Gustov both had about the same winds and flooding. One tragedy, I live in a salt water area, but with the salt water intrusion, lots of animals came out of the fresh water marsh to the North, many died on the highway. See Ike 1 pic for the water level.

@All,

I've included pictures of a Cam and actuator arm test bed. I don't have a simulator, so it was the easiest way to work out the mechanics before I add actual mechanics to the unit. The picture are confusing in that they all look like the Cam and actuator arm are rotating. When in actual use the Cam and actuator arm are fixed to the supporting base. Just the unit with weight and lever are rotating around. So if you rotate the pic and keep the Cam and actuator arm at 45 degrees it may make more sense.

It is hard to see but around the cam I have clock positions. The times worked out as follows:

Lift inches      Time
0                   3:15
4                   4:20
13                 5:15
19.5              6:15 (no pic)
21                 7:15

The act arm starts a more aggressive lift after 4", then after the lift phase it continues to hold the unit up at top until just prior to restart at 3:15 again. Holding the unit at top is only necessary at the start, until the CF forces take over at a certain RPM. The levers have a pivot on the end, 2.5" to the roller and 10" past as in one of Bob's statements.

The larger piece of plywood is 20" wide (close to Bob's). The levers will be on the back side of the unit and would be completely hidden at top thru 3:30

The lever pivot holes are 3 5/8 from the cam center and 3/8" to top/bottom of the horizon. The cams base radius is 1 3/4" and has a .80" lift at 45 degrees, after that the act arm takes over.

There are many ways to make a act arm, this is just one possibility. With the previous inclined plane I calculated the lift ratio to be proportional to the CF force. In this case, I can calculate the lift ratio for the cam and act arm, but with two offset different size rotating radius, it is much more complicated to calculate the total. Can anyone with a simulator help?

Regards, Larry

Bob,
If you are still reading this thread, we would appreciate your comments on LarryC's design.
Thanks,

Larry.. looks like you're getting close.. Would Bob be willing to draw detailed plans?  It sure would be nice.  I don't think Bob has his totally self powered as I think he also used an air compressor to help move the weights.  That is fine if you can generate more power than the compressor uses.
