Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[Cherryman]

OK, here is the next one.

This time i used an enclosed rod to make the process more under control.

Notice that the ball going up the ramp is actually going faster then the rod, so it will not bother the movement of the wheel, and will hit the wheel again after 1200 hour with an accelerated force.

It's not perfect yet, but i do think there could be some possibilities, i have tried al kinds of different shapes.

At one time i pushed in a rotation force of 4 and i got a return of 4.004    (Without wind drag)   Unfortunatly i cannot save the WM2D files, but i'm still learning.

@sushimoto, very well put:

but you can tell them that a Nuclear-Reactor is in fact a giant Waterboiler to drive a steam engine.
That CAN NOT BE the best possible answer of well educated engineers and academics
for  the energy demands of the world. ....

This is great!  Maybe the barrier in the Abeling wheel is indeed curved, but then again the path of the weights would no longer fit the "D" pattern.

I can try and recreate this in wm2d, I would first make a few arms more and see what happens if you take the motor out

You have exactly visualized my thoughts on stretching the spiral in your previous video, keep up the good work

Well i'm not visualizing you'rs or Sjacks idear.  This is work i dit past month.  I have a few more setups, but because I cannot save the WM2D files i have to create everything again from startover.

But i'm glad you like it.
