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

Hi AB,

I just got off the phone with Larry C. It is looking like he may have to go to higher ground.

Maybe this stupid hurricane will head more toward Mexico eventually. Let's keep our fingers crossed....

In the video I sent you, I am wanting you to look at the springs. They tended to make the wheel flywheel neutralizing the slide. They will work against what you are trying to do, but lighter springs will help smooth off the vibration and jarring you are going to have. I will be finishing a newer version of that wheel with a new arrangement,  That is the reason I didn't want it shown. I have 2 others to finish first.

I've looked at your video several times and paused it throughout but I'm still unsure. Are the springs coming from the center and connect to the other pieces that form the top part of the 'Y'?

Thanks,
Charlie

@ Charlie

The springs are attached around the axle and to each end of the sliding weight.

Hi AB,
OK, I understand now what you are getting at.
In Bob Kostoff's design, the springs aren't attached to the weights at all but only act as a cushion to 'catch' the slung weight. If you can find the photo that Larry posted of one of Bob's early designs, you can see it plainly.
Larry showed attachment points for his bungy cords and my Phun simulation showed springs attached similar to yours but in reality, the weight are free to travel back and forth on their own.
My current belief is that the 'prime mover' for the weights is a double ended pneumatic cylinder that stores energy when the weights are forced upward and reuses that energy during the next half cycle.
Regards,
Charlie

You are correct, Bob used springs as shock and a compressor to shift. In his video you will see the air system jerking around from the air pressure as well as other things shaking.

Hi AB,

I know that one version of the Creative Science machine uses a compressor to drive it but Bob claims that there are no air lines or hoses connected to his machine. In response to a comment that he was using his compressor to drive the machine he writes,"Hi Stephan. Just thought I would give you a little message and let you know I am back home again. I still go to therapy but things are comming along.
The compressor in the movie is what I was the machine was driving to do some usefull work. The machine wasn't ballanced and the board that is moveing is used as a shelf or small table. There are no hoses or airlines conected to it."

It remains to be proven out and unless he is simply putting one over on us, it would appear that he is shuttling air pressure from one cylinder to the other and accomplishing the lift. Theoretically, this is possible but will need to proven.

BTW, LarryC hasn't chimed in lately which is a good sign that hopefully he is high and dry and safely out of harm's way.
Regards,
Charlie
