Thanks for the reply. I agree this design would not work in the present form but the inclusion of the Milcovic pendulum element seems to be a move (or a swing?) in the right direct. I am doing some experiments in this area. Will report progress in due course.
Regards, Lloyd.

PL's wheel incorporates the pendulum feature in Milcovic's occillating beam water pump. Has anyone ever attempted to put this design to the test by building a working model?

Hi Trevor. I'm not sure what you mean by a 'slider' but the feed-back would have to be timed to come at exactly the right moment either at the end of the outward swing of the pendulum or at the end of the return swing. Although the manual input only comes at the return (once per evolution)it would b...

You also need to understand how much velocity the bob loses due to pumping the main arm, vs how much work it is actually doing. I wish I fully knew all of that. That would be easy to find experimentally. Just measure the reduction in height the bob reaches when it returns to the starting side. Unfo...

Hi Marcello, Would you go along with this reasoning? Calculations for L Angular Momentum = L; P = linear momentum; m = mass = 1kg; r = radius = 1000mm; V= velocity; s= seconds; g = 9.8 kg.m/s/s; t = 1 second; L = P x r = m x v x r m = mass = 1kg; Next find v. V = g x t = 9.8m/s/s x 1 s = 9.8m/s Thus...

I am trying to calculate the effect of gravity (in terms of angular momentum) acting upon a body of say, 1 kg when it is rotated (against gravity) through 180 degrees from the 6 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position. Let the radius be 1 meter and the time of travel be 1 second. Help, anyone?

You said: "So MP is mostly difficult to make a reaction mechanism to power the pendulum."

Sorry Tarsier, I can't work that out. Would you care to re-phrase ?

eccentrically1 'Over Unity' means getting more out that is put in. It does not mean using what you get out to send back to the input side, although this is the ideal of all OU devices. There have been many alleged OU devices but 'closing the loop' remains illusive. It always seems to involve an 'out...

Hello friends, I know the formulas but I am having trouble relating the period of a pendulum to the velocity at the bottom of the swing. The formula for the period involves calculus which is unfortunately beyond me but there is a handy calculator available, so that is not a problem, and I know the f...

eccentrically1 I am open to conviction but I am not yet convinced. This sounds like the proof for the First Law of Thermodynamics: the First Law is because nobody has ever built a PPM therefore the 1st Law is etc etc etc....Likewise, PK always = KE because nobody has yet proved an exception to the l...

As I am an infrequent visitor this may all be old hat to you regulars, and I could be talking through MY hat. If I am, I am sure you will let me know. In whichever case, I value your opinions. Having said which, these are my thoughts on how Milcovic's pendulum works. As I'm sure you know, Over Unity...

If this has already been discussed and thrashed out I apologise for raising it again, but I have not been able to find mention of it. My question is, if someone patents a wheel that doesn't work, what is the position of an inventor who builds a successful wheel that is substantially the same as the ...

Can anyone tell me where I can find an illustration of a Bessler wheel that turns in one direction only?

Bessler's Weight Problem. I hope one of you experts can help me with something that is puzzling me. Correct me if i'm wrong but somewhere I remember reading that the Bessler Wheel weighed about seven hundred and fifty pounds. Now it must have been heavy, because several witnesses testified to the fo...
