read it again, MY machine has a 2 meter amd 8 meter swing ratio because of the weight relif in the centre as shown in the drawing and noted in the writing, but it also states you can use normal machines, 2 meters fall at the short end and 10 metres at the extended end. 1,2 kgs on the extension and 10kgs on the short end, that is 12 kilos of lift required for 20 kilos of free falling weight leaving you with 8 kilos of energy


not difficult

but that only bring the extended side half way up..

Why do you think that you need to lift the counterweight much higher than Archer's machine does?

If the length of the beam on Archer's machine on the extended end is 5m long why would you have to raise the counterweight 20m (per your calc)?

@Archer

So how do you use the leftover 8kg worth of energy to restart the machine? Or are you not ready to give us that information yet? Now you have me on the edge of my seat....at least give us a clue.

the length of the beam is 5 metres long on the extended end not ten
