Here is the real problem and I see it ........ when the weight is falling, it actually disappears from the wheel. The weight has to be felt or seen by the wheel. I am using a cross piece that runs from one side of the wheel to the other with washers on each end that can easily be adjusted. by sliding it 6 inches, the wheel will rotate in the intended direction and would lend itself to a continuous rotation if moved at the proper time.Gravitteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904100340384577146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-74865602995714296672017-10-13T09:11:30.959+01:002017-10-13T09:11:30.959+01:00I applaud your efforts, however, If we accept MT a...I applaud your efforts, however, If we accept MT as Bessler's text book, you will see that he investigates this kind of wheels in the first 50-60 designs. He, then, moves on to the other design ideas. I think Bessler is trying to state that this type of designs are impossible. <br /><br />yellowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-7269249939619660202017-10-13T06:46:21.903+01:002017-10-13T06:46:21.903+01:00Nicely put Mr V.

I think that when the fallen weight is lifted, it doesn't necessarily have to be lifted the full amount in one go. Any lift would confer a small mechanical advantage and that would lead to a small amount of rotation and the rest of the lift might be easier from that point.<br /><br />You are thinking along the same lines as myself with regard to the half step forward, and for me I suspect the falling lever might have two jobs to do, i.e. it might have to initiate a the second action, in order to induce the half step forward.<br /><br />JC<br />John Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274781515636883957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-26879173384288701402017-10-13T03:54:36.616+01:002017-10-13T03:54:36.616+01:00Good thoughts..... the combination of the two type...Good thoughts..... the combination of the two types of movement can assist each other if the timing is right. I just finished setting up a similar setup today, that has taken over a month to build. Just working with one mechanism in a 3 spoke setup. I believe that the interaction of all of the levers with the toys page is very involved. I have tried to use the reverse torque of some of the mechanism to help move the wheel, but...... I will work with the angles and levers a little more tomorrow and then complete the 3 mechanisms, but it seems apparent to me that the inter action of the mechanisms is extremely important. There is a wonderful acceleration when the timing is right, but not enough to keep it going.... but it's oh so close. So, overall I agree with your ideas and still believe that there is a little trick that has to be implemented to achieve the continuous rotation. I am using multiple rubber bands for now as my springs, but it will be easy to change that little item later.... We must succeed, life on the planet is depending on us. Maybe John has found that one clue that has evaded everyone for so long.

I have ...John, interesting and thanks for sharing.<br /><br />I have in the last year considered precisely this kind of system, however the angle i was investigating was with regards to the distribution of angular vs linear momentum from a GPE interaction - basic premise being to convert an output GPE directly to RKE and thus angular momentum via overbalance, and then re-lift vertically, without directly applying counter-torque.<br /><br />The input and output energies at this stage are equal, however the point of interest to me was that if the falling of the weight adds angular momentum, but the raising does not subtract it, then although the input and output GPE's are equal, there's been a reactionless rise in angular momentum.<br /><br />Basic exploit would reduce to temporarily delaying the counter-torque corresponding to an angular acceleration from a GPE interaction, in order to get a half-step ahead and initiate a second reactionless angular acceleration on top of the first, before any counter-torque from the first is applied. Interleaving inputs and outputs from a pair of such angular to linear interactions with offset phases would form a kind of two-stage reactionless acceleration, gaining KE by leapfrogging up the 1/2mV^2 escalator with borrowed unbalanced momentum, type stuff.<br /><br />This was inspired by the Toys page - i interpreted items A & B, in relation to the alignments of the toys C & D to the cams on B, as indicating a torque sequence; specifically an angular and linear pair of interactions, each in 180° pairs, but with a 90° offset between angular and linear strokes. Note how the upper toy C aligns to the nearest notch on B, whereas D points to a gap between those notches on B. The asymmetric angle atop B denotes a net torque asymmetry, and the chain A symbolises the torque sequence - note here how the notches on A align to those on B; there's two vertical links crossing from left-to-right (say, the clockwise direction), followed by one link crossing back from right-to-left (anticlockwise).. and so on down the chain / torque sequence.<br /><br />Alternatively it could mean a sequence of accelerations / momentum changes.. regardless, same encoding scheme. The asymmetry of the forked angle atop B corresponds to the preponderance of left-to-right, clockwise components of motion, be that net torque, momentum or energy.<br /><br />Obviously, i didn't get anywhere with it, yet... But the point about all the N3 guff is that it produces momentum and energy, from nowhere, to order. At least, mathematically. Whereas i can't see how to coax any cooperation at all from just gravity - yet!<br /><br />Still, i only presumed to delay the negative torque temporarily - presumably though there must be some negative torque at some point corresponding to the lift?<br /><br />The really burning question i have about your suggestions is, you've acknowledged first that weights must get lower in order to perform work, yet then go on to proffer them as a source of input energy to re-lift other weights... so, counter-balancing, then? Normally such weights likewise need to get lower in order to raise their counterparts, so the implication is that you've found a way of doing this, robbing Peter to pay Paul, without having to drop the counter-weight, or else, re-lift it? Some kind of mad gravitational Ponzi scheme? <br /><br />In terms of GPE alone i can't fathom what advantage you may have found. Any whispers of a momentum asymmetry would have me on tenterhooks, together with no small amount of frustration at my own current failings to that end, but a GPE asymmetry?
