Sorry Grimer, can't agre on that one. A rotating wheel has totally different characteristics to a seesaw. The moment of inertia is different for starters. Definitely repulsion, if you're aiming to use downstroke acceleration, gyroscopics would throw your mag/weight outwards anyway (though later into...

A self sustaining device producing no meanigful surplus (usable) energy is a toy. There a quite a lot of designs out there that, were their inventors to modify them accordingly, would produce substantially more mechanical output than input required to start them, albeit with a limited run time. Any ...

re: What would you do if you discovered a PM machine?

OK, if I get this right, you have to make a deathray at the same time as the viable and cost-effective PM energy producing machine. Then you go underground in a cave, you phone whoever relevant and say that as a demo you are going to wipe some place off the face of the earth, and if anybody plays ga...

re: The GraMag Motor

That is exactly the point I make above, excepting the increasing "pull" of the magnet as it approaches the steel bar which you quite rightly point out (but you miss the posibility of the "sliding weight" being a mag/soft steel combo, or even a mag/lead. That does most definitely ...

Just my two cents but I think you're going too fast. Build a proto with just a few (maybe only 1) of these centrifugal/magnetic/spring and/or elastic actuated movable weights, see how it performs. Understand it. Get the "why" of overperformance (haha) or underperformance. Time enough later...

@ Grimer : perfectly correct, though with a wooden rim you still have steel spokes. I suggest a smaller diameter normal wheel (cheapo kidy 24 inch or smaller mtb) with a wooden ouer circle of plyboard, cut in half and glued/screwn with brass fixtures onto the rim. say 6 to 8 inches height. Or whatev...

re: The GraMag Motor

Looks interesting, though you'll have to build it to find out :) Regarding the bike wheel, a point to bear in mind is that you have some beautiful bearings, but the spokes and often the eylets in the rim are steel, eg susceptible to influence from magnets. Which is where a modified bicycle wheel com...

re: P+M = PM

Agreed Alex, except that a telescopic properly built to accomodate variables will allow the amount of weight and the distance of travel to be easily adjusted. It contains a spring if necessary, it's angle to the wheel can be adjusted, it can even be set to move within an arc "x" degrees pe...

Thanx AB and Path_Finder, I'll check those links. Agreed, if it's only self perpetuating on a hairline, it's nothng but a toy. I'll not clutter the forum with suggestive stuf not backed by clear video and data, this "wheel in a fork" is just something every "inventor" or builder ...

Hi Path_finder : irrespective of statues, setting up your own business in a field like (I hate this term) "Free Energy" is likely to be impossible without some very, very powerful backers and protection. Just my opinion. As to your signature which I recognize as the French "pourquoi f...

Once proven, the Nobel prize for science. I believe is $10,000,000 OverUnity.com has a prize for it. I think it is around $15,000 I am going to get mine in patent pending first, before I expose it for any prize.

What reward ?

Let's imagine that somebody comes up with a device, be it a wheel or else, which to keep things simple uses mechanical principles to exploit gravity or/and magnetic force(s) , not a drawing, a sketch or a "it'll work I just need more magnets and ceramic bearings" gizmo... but a real device...
