Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[hartiberlin]

Hi,
I have tried to get this KAD design working with 4 guidance slots,
but this also does not work.
It seems the lifting of the balls at the left side causes just too much drag at the
ramp-wall.

Here is enclosed the WM2D file:

and attached a picture.

I will upload a movie again to youtube now.

Regards, Stefan.

The Ramp is a rail with very little friction, you maybe you can change the friction level. But also the rotational force and the curvuture should "loosen" the ball from the rod so then the friction should not slow down the wheel..  At least.. that is the basic of what im trying.

So you combie the lifting from the different position and the moving mass and the accelaration from the curve combid.. Shoudl do the trick.

Well,
here is the video:

I guess I must install the newer version now and play
with the ramp materials to get less friction.
It was a real difference between using wood or
steel for the ramp.
In the above movie the balls are steel
and the ramp is wood.

When the ramp is steel too, the steel balls just
jump back and forth on the ramp, so not so good...

Good! Keep them coming, i also post things i know dont't work , but i think that is the essence of this forum" Showing  progress and thinking, and  sharing. .

Hi Cherryman, I am completly with you on that, more brains are better than less

Great video stefan, i always like your work I remember my old wheel designs you put on youtube 

edit: i may be giving you a new one soon to do for me
