Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[AquariuZ]

I wonder if there aren´t even better materials to reduce friction

What about TEFLON for instance

Needs to be durable too.

Here's a link to a pdf version of Dutchy's translation (6.2 MB):

And here's a link to the original Word version of his translation (1.6 MB):

There should be no limit to the number of downloads for either of these.

ETA:  PLEASE NOTE:  Attached directly to this post is a smaller, text-only version of the translation.  If you've already downloaded the patent, you already have the diagrams.

So the path of the weights is almost exactly as figured out in here.
Barriers or guiders in smooth flowing curves pushing weight towards axle at six o clock and moves it into place at one o clock. All very tight

Initial reaction: cannot work due to friction

BUT

The claim is

Abeling has considerably reduced and hence overcome friction by the following

For the guides and sockets he uses an interrupted teeth like surface, like the outside of a gear or cogwheel to reduce friction. Please check Fig 6. on 6/7 to see the teeth like surface.

And guess what will further reduce friction: using GLASS as a material for the guides.

I believe this is the main "extra" he uses to make this work.
...

So it was really a glass afterall ... (not the fibreglass) 


You cannot make a "working gravity wheel" just by reducing the frictional losses.
I thought everybody knew that?


Looking forward to hear what other goods are hidden in this patent application text....

Someone with OCR capabilities please upload the text, if not I have to type every letter by hand!!

If you can translate PDF to Text please send or upload the text (only)

See Tink´s post, the patent is online now....

Hi Guys,

First post here, I must say I find this tread very interesting and I really hope this wheel of Sjack's is for real.

As I dont know dutch and want to read the patent of Sjack's ASAP Im glad to contibute a text version (a bit rough) for easy translation.

Cheers

Keep up the good work!

Yes, teflon would be one of such modern materials, much better than glass in terms of low friction.
Or simply a polished steel contact surfaces and a good grease on all of those rails, guides, joints... (which works quite nicely...)

Maybe contactless magnetic levitation?

But... What would make his wheel spinnin' ?
