Gravity Generator
« on: January 27, 2010, 04:21:34 PM »
I have an idea for a very simple gravity powered wheel that I think should spin on it's own indefinitely. 

Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/28959370@N02/4308626375/ for a very brief description, but please comment here and not on that page.

FYI - The outside track does not move, it is stationary.  Any energy harnessed would be from the moving armature.

The weights would slide effortlessly around the track on ball bearings or something.

The spokes or arms would be one-piece rods and the only mechanical action would be the rods sliding through the armature as the weight shifts from left to right.

czimborb,,,,build a model,,keep those gray cells
working,your concept has been explored many,many times.But :Who Knows,,,intuition is a strange bedfellow,
works of inventing can lead to, OTHER ,ideas.If.what if.or,maybe,,could I ?,why not?

LOL what a weird post.I guess I am trying to tell you
to just keep on,keeping on.
This has NOTHING to do with your gravity wheel,
I am not qualified to make a judgment on your drawing.
This is a (slow-traffic-on-the-forum)have a good Sunday,day of rest or day of work day,post.

OK Joe...  -  whatever.

Anyway, I may or may not have the time to assemble the device.  I have also been running simulations of it in my mind and have discovered a few unanticipated problems.  There is more energy needed to push the top weight beyond the pivot point to the top of it's arch than what I had first thought...

Even so, I'm hoping the spokes leading to the leveraged weights are long enough to make up the difference.
