Archer you have a problem [one I wish I had]  you see things in your mind and play with them until they become reality   most people have to struggle with what is profoundly obvious to you    so when you put your thought to word you think it is done     for me this does not work I need pictures [like the ones you've been posting ] [or the ones in your head]     I wan't my heavy weight to fall off the end at 9-1[but i don't know what you mean[ I know what 9-1 is ] just how you got there?

From my viewpoint one of Archer's most important contributions was to draw my attention to the concept of "sliding rods" or "displacable wheel spokes".

If we don't mount permanent magnets at the ends of the rods but mount wheels instead, the rods can be guided by an arch shaped track (indicated in black in the attached diagram) and there will be no electromagnets needed for the shifting.

Nice Gustav!  I agree the sliding rods is an interesting overbalanced scenario as you present.

Are you/others interested in building something along this concept?  I don't have time as I have 4 other projects in the works.  I wish sleep wasn't needed!

What about using skateboard wheels and bearings at the end of the spokes.  And the track would only have to be around 1/2 the wheel as you show.  And the hub/spokes should be smooth metal to reduce friction. (a more complicated setup of rollers at the hub would be better!)  And the end of the shaft could have a large pulley attached via a belt to a small pulley (like 1:4) to turn a generator - like maybe an axial flux design.

Thoughts/comments/ideas on this type of design working?

Maybe you/we should start a thread exploring this idea??

(YOU SHOULD start a topic on this as it appears to warrent further investigation)

Hi All
I don't see what the fuss is I can lift a big weight with a small just by changing the centre of gravity, you have a weight on a seesaw gravity will push that weight down if the centre of gravity or pivit point is in the middle but if you move the centre of gravity or pivit point towards the weight at some point the weight will lift not fall, nothing ground breaking here infact as someone pointed out its called a crane.
I beleave magnetics and gravity are the key to FE but only those two along are the key once you need to add energy in say an electromagnet you loose FE because you can never get that energy back in one spin and to be FE each spin has to get that energy back plus some, once you get the device up to speed you maybe able to get that enery back but then you have something else that comes into action call centrifugel force that you need extra energy to over come so again your pushed back.
Take Care All

Arrogance is and will be the down fall of humanity. For thousands of years, people have been taking a small amount of facts and making it truth and then spreading these half truths till they become laws
Never once have they seen the tunnel that they are creating around the eyes of most of the world and themselves.  Knowledge is not just the understanding of something, but the continued growth of understanding something.  I used to think that is what science was all about, but I have major doubts about what science means in todays world. I really feel arrogance and lust for power have corrupted it almost completely. 
I remember way back in history class when I heard about science at one point saying the earth was flat !   Still despite the knowledge that this is just one of thousands of times in which arrogance has screwed the world, sadly history repeats itself.  This is probably because knowledge is a form of power that some people use to try and control other people and in doing so try to make themselves feel better.
Their corrupted use of knowledge in this way makes them as smart as a pile of SHIT !    A wise old man once said " If anyone tells you they know everything about something then they are a fools." 
I'm not sure about much in this world but if I was immortal I would bet it all on arrogance being the down fall of humanity.  Humble pie is needed for all in order for us to grow.

I write this as a little reminder to all of us here on these forums.  I think its safe to say that all of us here have one great hope in which we all agree , and that is the freedom of independent power for all.

SO..... Zero you really are a bad guy     just have on the sheep suit today??  Chet

WTF??

Ad-hominem.
