If I take 2 magnets in opposition, insert a metal sheet between them thick enough to attract both magnets, then pull that sheet out, the magnets should repell one another again as the metal sheet leaves the space between them, allowing them to move away from one another. If the magnets are stacked v...

First off, thank you for all the responses. I did title this thread as a machine for consideration. No claims of success can be made on any gravity motor unless there is a working prototype, which there is not in this case. I posted because it seemed like a different approach and I don't have the tr...

Absolutely, that weight will have to be reset with another lift. The power released when that one pound weight falls will not be the same as one pound falling. If the overbalanced weight falls down on the right side, the opposite weight at the other end will be going up, which requires power, which ...

My thinking on this, in terms of a self runner, might well be off. Physisists disagree with the way I see this, for sure. Look at an individual lift, rather than all the lifts required per revolution/cycle. Two pounds will be lifted 1 foot. The one foot lift will create an overbalance of one foot. T...

I just want free energy (in the sense that the operator gets more energy out then the operator puts into it and the amount of energy is constant, not reliant on weather conditions, and more than solar and wind for much less cost of building materials) available to my children and grandchildren. I do...

Another question that occurs to me is about the momentum. If the rod is moving in time with the axel, would the act of lifting it nullify that momentum? If not, wouldn't the top weight that was just reset start its fall with that extra energy transfered up to the top? If the lift were performed simi...

The mechanism I proposed will achieve a fall signifigantly greater than the heigth of the lift. It's the one where a hole is drilled into an axel, linear bearings inserted, then a rod through it; an equal weight on each end of the rod. The heigth of the lift dictates the extent of overbalance. The l...

Thanks for the links. I'm always interested in attempts at free energy. If you can humor me a little more regarding the gravity/buoyancy setup, I'd appreciate it. I'm not looking to break the laws of physics, just to identify any loopholes that can be exploited to advantage, as we all should be doin...

I agree with Jims statement. M, first you have to understand what in fact buoyancy is: Buoyancy is the displacement of water , driven by gravity to make average total mass in the system fall. (Falling weight is not what we want to help us in any cyclic gravity-medium mechanism.) Secondly, try to ca...

I'll warn you right now, if I don't hear a reason this dual operation motor breaks the laws of physics, I'm going to give this simple machine its own topic. (you all trembling at this threat yet?) Honestly, though, what is wrong with this concept? The whole thing relies on the airlock as a means to ...

Been there. Done that. Many have tried. All have failed. Simple laws of physics. It can never work. Search for "David Diamond" patent. http://my.voyager.net/~jrrandall/Jim_Mich.gif Ah, that pesky voice of reason. You're probably right. Still, the challenge of looping static forces is just...

All right, gravity brings weight down, buoyancy lifts weight up. How can these two be brought together in one machine? If we surround a 10 pound weight with enough styrofoam, it will float in water and will still fall down without water. Can you all think of any way to take advantage of that? I mean...

Jim_mich, is that machine in operation yet? It looks brilliant. What is the progress on it? Makes my idea look like a child's toy. Then again, just because it's a good idea doesn't mean any company will implement it. If we wanted to put the ocean to work producing energy, we would use the motion of ...

zog420, your reply doesn't sound negative. You are stating facts, not downing the whole notion. The weights do need to be reset twice per revolution. While the main axel would not spin very fast, the lifter beneath it would be moving very fast. It may not work, I'll admit. However, I saw elements in...

Thanks, pathfinder. (good screen name for this theme) I read that thread. I can't say I understood every drawing perfectly, but I think I got the just of it. I'll take another closer look after I get off work. A rolling cam in the middle might be another mechanical means of shifting the rods in the ...
