Pushing it!

[LittleHelper]

Synchronyze the two wheels with a pulley, and get a pole to shift everytime the little wheel pushes.

Just an idea, I know there has to low friction all around.

Besides, if you use magnets, its already in the works: http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,4540.960.html

You can use magents but this might be then a better idea...



After a while the wheel even will start to accelerate, this will in turn cause more current to be generated and thus having to give an even smaller current ratio to the electromagnets...not only that but even centrifugal forces will start aiding after a while

Problem with the spring idea is that you now need a force to pull the spring back down and connect with the rod so it can pull the rod up again...

Seeing as though pushing something around requires a lot less work than bringing it to a higher potential I thought of an idea.

Basiclly the video shows the rods beinging pushed at exactly the right moment to disbalance the wheel. The piston IS driven by a motor, but my logic tells me that I can get more power out of the bigger wheel than I need to drive the piston. Two questions arise. Also do note that weels can be used to easy the friction.

1) Do I indeed get more power out of the bigger wheel than I need to drive the small one?
2) At second thought there is no second question. It had to do with the synchronization but that shouldn't be a problem.

Very interesting, somthing may even materialise from this. It looks like a method of controlling a large energy with a smaller energy. Well done mate  .

It may be a good idea to stck permanent magnets on the ends of the sliders, and replace the piston with a timed-pulsed electromagnet so that it can pull the sliders out of balance.
