Re: Transfer weight design

Calloway - The drawing below illustrates my understanding of the physics behind your apparatus when using a flat spring. Does this represent your principle correctly? Interestingly, it suggests a one-way bearing may not be needed. The angle with the horizontal that the "pendulum" lever set...

Re: Transfer weight design

Calloway - Thanks for your reply. You are most welcome to use the drawings. I am not looking over your shoulder, only intently trying to understand and visualize what you are selflessly sharing with everyone. It is easy to see why the "pendulum" will hold its initial position in your desig...

Re: Transfer weight design

Calloway - Sincere thanks for continuing to post your results on this forum and to make videos available. Open sourcing your concept is exemplary. It appears as if the device in the video link you shared a few posts back may be self-running. Is that the case and you are now optimizing with subsequen...

Re: Transfer weight design

While I rarely post on any OU forum, I follow the field closely and have been involved in allocating research grants in the area for a number of years, though only recently in gravity powered devices. Please forgive my intrusion but I feel it is important to interject here. IMHO this design deserves...

Re: Why doesn't this work?

My apology for starting a new thread on this. Undoubtedly this idea is not new to the members of this forum since many here have devoted a large part of your lives to studying gravity wheels. I searched the forum to the best of my ability without success before making this post. I would like help un...
