By the looks of it, it might be beneficial for you start learning some new skills. Simulations are a good start....the most bang for your buck IMO.

Good luck with your search and your way forward.

SS. Yes. I think Frog has yet to attain the knowledge required to understand that. Kattia, It usually can. Hydrostatics is just leverage and weight. Most of the time, you don't need complicated pressure math to calculate it. There was another model I liked, but I can't remember the name of it, it wa...

You can't delete it. You can only edit it, and remove the content you don't want. And only if you do it within an allotted time. There should be a pencil icon above your post to edit.

Cheers.

Hi Heidi There are many options. Some people (not me) believe wholeheartedly that patent is the best way. Open source is the best if you want "the secret" out, but not sure if that would financially benefit you. Crowd funding is another way to do it. I have seen fraudsters raise hundreds o...

Hi Coretux.

Welcome to BW. BW can be a useful asset depending on your goals and approach.

Good luck

Regardless of what Frog says, I would class both designs as stock standard gravity wheels. And there is not much more there than any other design in MT. When the pendulum is locked at the top and the flywheel is rotated, potential energy builds up in the opposite direction of the rotation. This ener...

Not too long ago, I butted heads with a fraudster on overunity.com. He had a physical demonstration that looked good if you hadn't delved into hydrostatic pressures. He had a design with some measurements. He had some math to back his claim. He had builds ranging from a table-top model to a grain si...

My wheel -NEVER- get heavier on the manipulated side! Yes it does. And it gets lighter. -You don’t have a flywheel so you don’t got any place to store kinetic energy. I don't see any kinetic energy to store. - you don’t have a spring to straighten the pendulums. I think he does. And the springs don...

Hi Senax, as far as I can tell you can't increase the GPE of the pendulum just by moving from the cycloid to the normal swing When the normal swing is compared with the cycloid swing the cycloid goes slightly higher and gets there faster. ? If it goes higher, it has raised the GPE. But does it actu...

Still a great build Spark. What printer did you use? Also what modelling software and slicer?

I think if Frog wanted it to always be balanced, he should have at least 6 arms, so 12-9 torque would be balanced by the 9-6 opposed torque... The more the better. You can't use the movement of the flip to take energy without creating more counter torque though....

Also, Nice build Spark.

but i get what you see in it (why reset if you can adjust).

You would need to adjust to balance(or near, or even past) for the upswing, then harness the energy of the downswing.

JB, that video is awesome. It "looks" like very little energy is required to adjust a relatively significant weight on the arm. Did he create PM and not even know it? If it takes less energy to move the adjuster than he can get from dropping that weight...

Fletcher, that is a very nice sim. IMO it wasn't required, as your previous analogue of what is happening showed exactly the same.

And I didn’t foresee that this forum wouldn’t understand it - I thought that everyone would understand it since they all have built their own version of a gravity wheel and seen that it doesn’t work. A gravity wheel wouldn’t work - because gravity is a medium for energy. So you got to use kinetic e...
