My upload to youtube of my first build fails. I'll work on that.
I am now way past that...
Meanwhile focus on the basics.
I started with Skinner and then got curious about centrifical force
and went here.
You have seen various centrifical forces..
1. water in bucket swung over your head does not fall out.
2. moon, satelites keep their orbit because centrifical
force and speed and gravity are matched.
No. 3 below really got me convinced...
3. rope and 2 weights by wacky scientist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3BSkMj1wLc Centrifugal Force : Dramatic demonstrations in Physics by Prof
Julius Sumner Miller
rope 1 gram lifts 10 gram at 8m 25sec
4. screwdriver or drill rotating a weight goes wacko
with its wobble.... can't take that to the bank....
II. Then I got more curious - how could I measure that to know how much work in/out
5. I made the device above to measure centrifical force and got work in/out 120% -- impressive. Now I'm off an running....
As you can guess the device above is very sensitive to the balance
of the weight dropping to rotate the rotating weight and the weight
being lifted... The faster it spins the more centrifical force and the more
weight lifted....
It really works. The above design has some serious losses in it but I have measured it in two devices and both are OU - more work out than in.
You basically know all you need to know now...
But it needs some enhancements to get more power.
I'm working on them now...Then comes the power out
feedback. That is very difficult because the "make power" and
"apply power" must be two entirely separate systems -
they can't be coupled directly together very tightly like gears/belts.....
I have those plans but not yet built....
My brain bursts come slowly....but they do come...
I have worked at this stuff for about 15 years and have boxes
and boxes of stuff I made and tried.
I do rapid prototype to show the concept then I can
always go on to a Naudin type impecable presentation.
I am so excited I can hardly rest these days. I can't believe this
has been overlooked all these years...We fly airplanes everyday
and use satellites for internet communication but have not harnessed
centrifical force for power.
