............... ... Yes that should follow your example as you say , and its simple too , what i was thinking since the experimenter would know the distance by measurement and the weights weight and the height by measurement , then all a person needs to conclude i guess should be a method of reliabl...

As an example of what I'm describing here is an indicative arrangement of half a runner as I see it i.e. the OOB one-way pendulums half .. see attachments .. It is my opinion that the circle of one-way pends were located at a much closer radius than this illustrative pic shows - based on what Wagner...

Well the WD2 SIM doesn’t take in account for rotation of the earth so … It must be inertia energy loss or just a loss due to vector calculation? Hey dax .. real or sim, I try to look thru the lens of root causes and effects .. * Work Done is a scalar quantity. n.b. ( -> shows direction ) .. This is...

@Fletcher well you know the Force and the Distance for WD , so for example the F*D in the previous simpler sim experiments is not an unknown , perhaps you should devise a type of sim to compare to a real world experiment . Hey jb .. we can do better than that - no need for another sim experiment wi...

The "Swinger" Cart with pivoted pendulum attachments wrt. pump and dump cycle .. Leg 1 .. an impulse is applied to the standing cart body and rapidly accelerates it to the left horizontally a distance of 0.471 ( greater than the Control ) meters achieving 1.667 m/s velocity - the cart and ...

The Control Cart with fixed pendulum attachments wrt. pump and dump cycle .. Leg 1 .. an impulse is applied to the cart body ( starting with zero KE and mv ) and rapidly accelerates it to the left horizontally a distance of 0.417 meters achieving 1.667 m/s velocity - the cart and pends gain Translat...

As promised ( completed over the weekend ) .. here is my spreadsheet analysis of the previous Control Cart verses the Swinger Cart sims .. Recap .. Both carts are given a rapid acceleration followed by a rapid deceleration in the form of equal and opposite impulses - i.e. a positive change in moment...

What I'm thinking is what ever force is used on a practical machine it can't be a blunt knocking force but more an abrupt cushioned force like a stiff spring. Graham The Draschwitz one-way was provided with felt coverings to cushion and quieten noises, the Merseburg two-way was "bald" wit...

... There are two things that I like about the action of your sim and one that I think needs changing . I like the idea of the pendulums because it falls in line with a lot of Bessler clues and with nature. I like the idea of the two pendulums working together so that one deals with one half of the...

Thanks guys for your contributions - I hope things will energy-wise become more clear for you/us when I get around to the spreadsheet analysis all in one place - I started it yesterday and hopefully will get it finished and tidied up over the weekend - much more pressing issues to take care of than ...

What would be the advantage over an inclined plane , or are you showcasing some other facet ? Mornin jb .. What you are showing in the bottom drawing is the use of a hanging pendulum and an incline plane ( ramp ) - and suggesting a couple of ideal thought experiments to compare against the swinger ...

** Do you agree that the swinger pends can be lifted and gain PE without applying Law of Levers ? I think no. And try to explain my point below. Based on the sim experiment no levers were applied or fulcrums used to raise PE - the carts gained velocity and lost it again by and equal amount by the p...

The negative work was a new one to me... So, in conclusion, the cart with the swingers travels a further distance in phase 1 than the fixed cart ( yes ) , so more work is done ( yes, compared to the control cart, in leg 1 ) . In deceleration, both carts end up at the same position ( yes ) , so less...

Here is the second leg ( leg 2 ) where the momentum previously given to the carts is taken away again, so they come to a complete stop washing off their momentum and translational KE gains .. ** the second animation is the full start stop legs 1 and 2 .. Comments .. All linear momentum and translati...

Here is the first leg of my free-lifting sim experiment .. I have simplified the sim Output and Metrics as much as I can so most can follow the important ones in the animation and pics .. ............... The experiment explores two identical carts able to move horizontally ( from a standing start ) ...
