Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[Omnibus]

Hans,

Do you have any of Constantinesco's patents. Would be interesting to take a look.

Oké, i tried a new path..  Gears

Just a concept, full of mistakes  ... I have to sweeten it still a little

I see that I am in good company is proposing a gravitational wind that is blowing steadily downwards. None other than that canonised scientific saint, Newton himself. 

"Remarkably, Newton himself does not seem to have ruled out the possibility of a perpetual motion machine. It is a little known fact that in his early notebooks under the heading "Quaestiones"[sic] Newton speculates that gravity (heaviness) is caused by the descent of a subtle matter which strikes all bodies and carries them down. "Whither ye rays of gravity may bee stopped by reflecting or refracting ye, if so a perpetual motion may bee made one of these two ways." Adjacent to these words, Newton added two sketches of perpetual motion powered by the "flux of the gravitational stream".

Helmholtz, the guy who came up with the conservation of energy laws did not think that perpetual was impossible either, see below quote, which has been excised by science from his paper "Ueber die Erhaltung der Kraft" (On the conservation of force)

One wonders why.

A slightly improved version,


It's just to show the concept..   


The trick is that you gear the wheel so that there are always more balls (Weight)  going down then there are going up.  So tho accomplish that, the path up must either be shorter or faster, prefarably both!!

And this one with no polygons, works ok but in the real world?

There is a problem with WM2D with the ridgid joints,
So always only use pin joints,
Just use 2 pin joints, if you need to fix 2 things together.
