Working gravity wheel ?

[hansvonlieven]

i downloaded "working model" and installed it in demo mode, but in the 2 times that ive opened it, i could only intuitively create some simple shapes and watch them fall when i pressed play.

G'day sean,

Have a look at the anchor tool in Working Model, This allows you to fix in space whatever component needs it.

BTW, your file will nor run in the demo version

OK i thought i quit but really i needed to finish my unsuccesful model...LOL


I thought like so many it was inches away, but. I am overweight by 50% almost 90% of the time and still the 10% thats not overweighted to the prominent side allows the wheel to find a spot of equilibrium. It has caused me to make a major shift in my thinking. I believe that the wheel actually has to work with just one weoght or pair of weights, whatever the builder chooses.

The pulsing is the wheel starting over at TDC and beginning its next revolution. But to build the wheel with the thought that another separate set of weights is helping you lift the rising pair is wrong ..."i believe". i could be very wrong

My tests from here on will consist of just finding a way to get one weight completely around the wheel by itself....

I can draw tons of pictures with theoretical overweighting but it seems from  my humble and inefficient first attemtp that a working picture is not enough. I was bitten by the PM bug only several weeks ago and would like to also know if their is a support group for those trying to quit. I has consumed to much time already. Just kidding.


My coworker jokingly mentioned that the search for perpetual motion may be the only thing that is perpetual about it..  Oh well

my 2 Cents. good luck to all.

Thank you Hans for the input on working model. (I've decided to go through all available tutorials instead of asking any more questions).

Ive made a video to show the gravity wheel design. I tried posting it to youtube, but apparently there is a delay between when you upload the video, and when it appears (if at all?). So instead of waiting for that, I've posted the video to rapidshare, you can find it here:

If this is worth a seperate thread, let me know so we can discuss it. If not, enjoy the amateur video show.

Sorry sean,

I cannot get your avi to work. my machine tells me the file is corrupt.

Well thats frustrating. Perhaps it was the video codec I used?

Any suggestions on how or where i could upload a video file so that it is available for others to watch?

Is an extremely slow turning perpetual motion wheel even worth the effort, if it cannot generate significant working torque?
