Weightless Weight

[Alexioco]

Alex...sorry to hear your having problems with getting the file/pic/vid  posted

if you don't mind I be interested in those figures I mentioned about earlier

when I did my tests I just pulled on the load string.  When you have a balance the load weight will not matter.

I'm sorry for over reacting, I am just getting upset about that everyone is using my design and telling me it doesnt work  all I can say is I have it here unless im mistaken in some way but to me it seems to be working...

Alex,

I've just did some quick build testing.
Let me hear if you got the same results:

a) the lever balance in horizontal position
b) when you push the weight-hanging side a few degree down,
    it overbalance to that (hanging) side, and then falling all the
    way down to the bottom by it self
c) push the mounting side down (where the string are mounted)
    and it will hold its position anywhere in that quarter of a 'circle-path'
    form horizontal to vertical (buttom).
d) to release a position (according to c) you need to put a weight
    on the mounting side that is heavier than the existing hanging weight

Sorry Alex, but I can only go by what you have given me. Perhaps you could make an exact drawing what you are experimenting with and we can have another go. Maybe a photo of your device.

Hey Ruggero...I see some thought went into the last one ...you definatly like circles

but i went over the first one you posted.  You said increasing the angle and adding weight to the top end would get this going.

I did some math to show what its going to take.

Any body that has one of these working please post your build as per drawing
