Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

Those teeth in figure 6 must engage with the weight like a rack to give them rotation,

This is classic Carnot. The rotating weights are analogous to temperature motion of the atoms, The weights on the downside are analogous the the pressure motion. The rising section is the adiabatic exchange equivalent and the descending section is the isothermal equivalent. The driving force is the gravitational potential drop between top and bottom.

Above is the rotating power cycle. Think of it as a two stroke and traditional Carnot as a 4 stroke engine,

True, but remember it is not the weights that touch that jagged edge, it is an oval shaped joining bar (in this case)

I read you're posts with much intrest, but understanding is not always easy.

What does the above tells about the design.. can you somehow translate it in things i can use in a drwaing?

I'll do my best.

Mmmm ....Well you need teeth on the axle cos this is going to give it the highest spin; These teeth engage in the rack, the toothed curve thingees. The axle needs to be as small a diameter as possible where it engages with the rack to give maximum spin. I suppose ideally it would be a conical cog engaging in a slanted rack - a bit like the DAF infinitely variable gear box - cos one has to build up rotational speed.

What happens to the rotating weight when it slams into the going down bit I wouldn't like to say,

When you with calculation state something, isn't then possible to export that into a curve as a DXF file?  If that is possible then we have the perfect angles..
