Re: Grease power

tilting right angle11.png The rim in the center should be two quarter circles parallel to each other in the z axis direction. The gear connecting to the rim in the center would have a reverse gear in the z-axis direction that would touch the offset second quarter circle rim. This solves the mystery...

Re: Grease power

tilting right angle10.png Close up on the gears, it's the very center circle that is the stationary rim that the gears push against. It does not move. The gears are connected to the lever and strapped to another gear that connects to the stationary rim. The red lever needs to be a reverse gear beca...

Re: Grease power

tilting right angle9.png I'd like to apologize for my previous drawing which was flawed inherently. This new drawing here tries to give new logic to something else. Premise of this idea is that I can take the drag on the wheel of the weights off by putting it against a rim of a stationary track in ...

Re: Grease power

tilting right angle6.png There needs to be 3 reversed gears to make the purple weights weightless to shift. The middle reversed gear needs to connect to one of the outer reversed gears. I represented this in the top left of the image. Sam Peppiatt and SHADOW does this give a better explanation of w...

Re: Zeroing in on Bessler's wheel

rollers.png This uses rollers, or the weight isn't rolling inside of the circle- the circle is rolling with the weight attached. Gear teeth are colored. More weights improve this design because there is less change on the row of weights goin to the top left. Maybe more than 4 lifting 1 is necessary...

Re: Grease power

tilting right angle5.png I corrected the flaws in my previous drawing. The purple weights remain weightless around the entire wheel. The purple weights shift because of the pink weights. A light spring assists in moving the pink weights while the pink weights are weightless and their connecting pur...

Re: Grease power

Re: Grease power

I think I fudged explaining how I calculated in my previous description. I mean to say I explained badly then. The conveyor belt is connected to the wheel on the right which moves by weights. The wheel with weights on it has a radius of 400. Minus the friction the spring pushes against the belt arou...

Re: Grease power

spring theory 7.png The triangle position on the belt for the spring is offset to the right 100 pixels and up 400 along the center. This gives a 14 degree cos 14 is 97% efficient or 33.33x reduction on the belt to the wheel. I am gearing the weights to shift 4x the distance the spring moves. So the...

Re: Zeroing in on Bessler's wheel

I also enjoyed this concept. I envision because of it two half circle pendulums that has one offset on one side and the other bottom side. Then a hammer that goes back and forth 45 degrees, real Bessler wheel style. The rollers have two in each position and they are supposed to be so that one is alw...

Re: Grease power

Not any of you showed interest in this design type last time I posted it. boxes2.png I have in this drawing the weights swinging between two points. There are two weights in each location and one set of weights around the wheel just do the lifting and the other move out of balance. The top left weig...

Re: Grease power

I've pondered today on if the boxes would work better if they rolled along a track. If the box rolls towards the rim of the wheel it will slow down, BUT does that also mean that is has more torque on its weights to lift something? I think it does because it will slow down and be pushed against by th...

Re: Grease power

twisting box41.png I remeasured my previous drawings and found them to be balanced after the weights shift. In this drawing I lift some weights on the ascending side in light green color. Lifting the green weights in the middle of the ascension on the right side of the wheel saves the counterbalanc...

Re: Grease power

twisting box38.png Because a descending weight loses torque, I now prefer this variation of my design today. What this is doing is the right boxes that are dropping weights have a spring pulling with them and on the left the weights are falling against the spring. So it's a little less than 4x weig...

Re: MT51 Comments Enquiry ?

Just some thoughts... Any weight falling on the descending side of the wheel will create counter-torque. A weight falling faster then the wheels rotation is not applying its full weight to the wheel. A mass in freefall is weightless, etc. It would therefor be better for weights to fall on the ascen...
