Self Holding Weight

This is an awesome thread, i'm laughing my ass off right now. Sometimes coming here i feel like i just walked into the back room of NASA and found them picking their nose.

Ahh,
I just see, there is a pixed point, there where the pulley goes over it.
Yes, the forces should be okay then.
It is, as if there is only one thread, which fixes the see saw to the upper rod.

Now, what is interesting.
Let the weight just go like a pendulum and the see-saw will
go up and down,
so you can lift another weight on the other side of the see-saw.

Maybe this could be used for a gravity wheel ?
Hmm...have to ponder about this.

Regards, Stefan.

You need to look at that video one more time and look at the blue tarp in the background. I see a face and it doesn't move with the tarp.

If your laughing now, try this:  If you have any doubts as to whether gravity,  known as a conservative force has potential  extractable energy try the following.

Stand in front of your computer desk which most average approximately 27" high,  place the arch of your left foot on the edge of the desk. Now place the right one there in the same manner.  When your butt hits the floor you will soon realize that gravity has potential.

Stefan,

Don't ponder to long!  That pulley the rope is going through in rigging terms is called a "Snatch Block" it is called that for a reason.
