After so many hours, still I cannot explain this. The kinetic energy of "rectangle 1" depends only of its mass. I have increased its mass to 1000 kg, and with same powers of the motors, I have now 103 J. Anyone any idea? Either WM is for the trash, of I have just invented the perfect perpe...

I think I have solved this riddle. From a previous, similar application it has kept some initial velocities. I made them all 0, and now I face new problems. The power of motor24 is fluctuating between -0.3 and +0.3 W, of motors 17 and 20 between -9 and +9 W, summaries of all motors are 0 W. But how ...

Can someone explain this? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/CyberDust/wm4-1.jpg Trying to understand WorkingModel, I arranged this construction. It is turning anti-clockwise. All motors are of type “velocity�. Motor17 and motor20 have a value of -60 degrees, motor24 of values +60 degrees. M...

We all know the inverted pendulum, as shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwJ2jzVexaI Now the question is, instead of trying to keep the pendulum erected, let's keep it always running, without ever getting in a balanced state. Computer software and some chips can make all the work, an...

Well, my wheel is not exactly the same as the Andy motor. There is only one joint per pair of weights, and it's gliding on a supporter. I think, instead of joints and slots, I will use disks. The idea is to use software, like the WM2D and with the help of software to guid the weights, so that there ...

The weights (yellow circle, pairs of them) are on a slider, connected with slots to a longer blue rectangular shape. This shape again is fixed on a wheel (greater yellow circle on the background). The weights are lifted by the movement along a slot (blue greater circle). The slider is connected to t...

According to WorkingModel 2D, it looks it works. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/CyberDust/wm21.jpg After a turn clockwise of 30°, we get the position http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/CyberDust/wm22.jpg The only problem seems to be, the slot joint, circled in the first image, must jump...

This is an example. Yesterday it was easier to construct, today I had to make many tries. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/CyberDust/BESSLER1.jpg Both have a weight of 60kg. At the beginning they are oscillating, closing the gap more and more, and finally it gets a push and are spinning for ev...

I have only a demo version of wm2d, so I cannot post any file here. But it is easy to build your own file and see yourself what I saw. I have discovered, this happens only by "none air resistance". But then again, it will be no challenge to let it run in a vacuum. How much energy you'll ge...

Yes, something like that. BTW- I made a try with Working Model, and it became a perpetual motion machine. ;) Another proof, WM is not to be trusted.

I am thinking of a similar device like a pantograph or a Peaucellier-Lipkin linkage. In pantograph the length of a rod can be doubled, the distances etc. but the angles remain all the same. I do not expect to amplify the energy, though it will not harm me at all.

There are many linkages, which double the lever, the torque, even a circular movement to transform it to a straight line. But I cannot find a linkage, that acts on the angle. I need a linkage, that will double the angular speed of a rod or of a rotational movement. Is there none? I can think of a ge...

Working Model is somewhat cheating. I made many models with my idea, and all worked fine. But then, theory says, it should not. I have only a demo version of WM2D, so I can't save it and post here. Calculations with excel shows also that it will work. Surely, I am missing something. Before I venture...

I am also in need for a help http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/CyberDust/BarsPP23.jpg There are two rods with weights, connected together with a gear and the left side is fixed to a wheel. The wheel is turning right-wise. When the right side is in 0°, it strikes another rod, which is outside t...

Your analysis is really marvelous. It's now clear why it won't work. I thank you very much. The original Idea was to have doubled weights on the corners, and by this it was supposed to be self-starting, without any help. In a simple model in wm2d I saw that it will never flip over, and my next idea ...
