Hi All,
here is a new video of a new wheel:

Looks very interesting.

I wonder how it will exactly work ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

It might be the hamsters from the kia commercials turning it,there big enough

This seems to be a promising bit  of engineering on the surface. It encompasses many of the principals that have been discussed here and on other forums. What intrigues me most is that the pendulum wheel is seemingly only traveling through half of its natural oscillation, swinging to the 6:00 and then reversing. The outer wheel turns two-revolutions per second + or - for every half oscillation of the pendulum wheel which takes two-seconds per cycle.

This must surely be a refined model of earlier iterations as there are no extraneous holes drilled anywhere i.e. the crank throw has not been adjusted from place to place etc.

The PTO wheel (upper wheel) is seriously geared down and here lies the crux of this demonstration video. Is this PTO wheel driving a permanent magnet motor (a generator) or being driven by a motor?

The last half second of this video shows a direct connection between the second wheel over and the outer flying weight set. I was wondering why it was spinning.

Having recently studied a great deal about the behavior of a pendulum on a crank shaft, I was excited to see one incorporated into a new design.

Freeze framing has left me with some doubt as to whether the pendulum wheel reaches its apex at a point that is relative to the arc of the flying, weighted outer cross bars. If this thing is indeed a runner it would fulfill a great many of Bessler's clues; weights working in pairs, gaining momentum by their swinging, one cross bar barely sufficient to maintain rotation, etc. etc.

If this device is not a runner in its present configuration, I would suggest that varying the ratio of the pendulum arm length, to crank shaft throw might have positive results if a cycle could be consistently achieved where in the pendulum unweighted in the most appropriate place i.e. on the upswing.

All in all a very simple, unique and promising design. My hat is off to Alberto Medina. If this is not a runner, the world and our community of mass-shifting over-balancers would be the better off with a confession to this end rather than stirring up the ant hill with yet another wheel whose input is necessarily greater than its out put. Happy New Year to you all.

I think there are many gravity wheels now today that could work.

The important conditions are : that you have an unbalanced wheel AND that the acceleration of the up-going mass is bigger than the acceleration of gravity....

No way the mass could be lifted against the force of gravity if it has very little acceleration!
So the wheel needs a starting-speed to overcome gravity.

What we could learn from this guy is that it is very clever to bring the wheel up to the correct speed before aspecting some result.
Some disagree ?

I think Abeling mentioned this also.., no ?

Regarding this wheel in the video:

Its like the guy is shifting the direction of the centripetal force with the weight at the little wheel.
Normally in a rotational movement the centripetal force is always directed to the center forcing the mass to make a rotation.

How does he do this? It takes a lot of energy to change the direction of the centripetal force from a rotating mass.

Is the netto-acceleration from the wheel put back into the inner wheel ? I dont now.
