DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD TILL I AM FINISHED OK>>> IF YOU WANT TO SAY SOME THING PLEASE START A NEW THREAD....AND YOU BETTER COPY ALL I SAY... going once......

iT'S GOING TO BE A RIDE

Ok where do we start.... I know as a kid .... now I think everybody in the world has spun a string with a weight on the end.... remember.

You would make a twirling motion to get it started then you would just move it back and forth and it would still spin, You would feel a tug at end of each movement on the shift back and forth, ?

centrifugal force correct ? But it keep spinning .........now we are going to apply that part in conjunction with gravity

Ah! gravity the force that wants whatever is not already backed up to a solid and wants to get there ... to the center of the earth

Ah! now we take a pendulum  natures perfect way to have weight climb.....
from a gravity drop point ....But we all know that it diminishes on each swing RIGHT....they all say friction is the problem very few say centrifugal force ,,, remember that tug at the end of the string shift ?

Motion had to add this ,as you can see in the dia it needs to be there too.. but!

OK so here is a list of materials you are going to need..

a base 2x4 will do maybe 12 inches long
a riser to attach a pendulum too
a pendulum
a weight attached to the pendulum
a way of limiting the movement of the base ( see dia )
a couple rollers for under the base


NOW LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM CAN YOU COME UP WITH THESE ITEMS

NOT FINISHED YET JUST GET READY  1 DAY

DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD TILL I AM FINISHED OK

AH FK IT .. now you have 3 things to work with

centrifugal force
gravity
motion 


ok so lets add leverage to the equation  ah we all know based on a fulcrum point the weight offset....  if we have a lever at 1 inch to the fulcrum and a lever length of 20 inches ...it just might lift a beer bottle lol......

NOW add TIMING ...to the equation  ( oh very important )


NOT FINISHED YET,,,,, JUST GET READY AND DO NOT POST YET>>>>>

OK so you have many  items

centrifugal force
gravity
motion
leverage
timing

UNLESS YOU ARE BRIAN DEAD YOU CAN NOT USE THIS...........




Finished enough with the spoon


Post away

Hi Bill,

Stepping into deep water, as coils are my specialty, and not gravity, motion machines, but by timing, is that controlled by the height in which the pendelum starts?  Thanks!

Cheers,

Bruce

How heavy does the weight on the pendulum have to be in relation to the whole structure?
Same weight?  Heavier or lighter?
