Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

According the patent this is how it works ?!

So, @eisenficker2000's http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=7150.msg170514#msg170514 was the closest so far. In your rendition the weights (balls) are in couples, however, as was explained in Abeling's webpage. I wonder what would make this work and not @AquariuZ' or @Cherryman's?

[AquariuZ]

My main point was - if the authority, the "commercial...."  (I don't exactly remember the official name of that Netherlands authority) would confirm that they really gave him a permission to build "weight/gravity" power plants all over the Netherland, that would be something else entirely....

I filed an official information request at the VROM site about a week ago. All RFI´s towards the dutch government are handled by an entity called "Postbus 51" or P.O. Box 51. They claim to usually respond within 48 hours. In this case I think they may have some trouble finding the information. Sjack Abeling confirmed to me over the phone they had an agreement with the Ministery of Economic affairs to build at least a prototype factory which may use the current infrastructure managed by the government. This does not sound all to alien to me.

He will not have permission to build plants all over the netherlands just yet, I must assume the trial project must be assessed before VROM gives the go ahead for a full scale production environment in the netherlands and maybe even outside.

Interesting still.

G'day all,

For those of you that are playing around with that inner ramp idea here is probably the most interesting version. It was designed in 1835 in England by Dixon Vallance. Instead of a ramp it features a belt.

More food for thought... Thanks for that, the more ideas the better...

In this case friction will be a major factor as up till now with the other models.

Currently looking if a weight can be launched by scissoring it betwen a barrier and its holder. Looks like it will...!

This is the same idea with a different control mechanism.Of course it doesn't work.
