Jim;
Also I think you could just take your documents to a lawyer and have them notarized would help.
Tommy;
I like your ideas with the bike wheels.

Tommy K,
I'm intrigued by your claim to have a working gravity powered wheel. You say you would like to better your wheel. I would like to help you improve your device. I leave it up to you as to how much you reveal and where & how. My email address is below if you would like to contact me.

Big brother, getting a document notarized is the same thing. Using a notary is just a more professional way. A notary or lawyer might carry more weight than using a homeless street begger brother-in-law.

Hi Jim,

Thank you.

Everything I've stated gives you the working wheel, short of me building it for you or placing a video of the wheel running on this site.
Please try to understand from what I have already posted.
I am not trying to be a trickster or post in riddles, but I am not sure that this is the place for me to disclose my wheel. Not that I seek fame for my wheel but mainly for the fact that I am trying to share an idea," that works", with those who are not looking to catch a score from anothers work.
Also on your site, I noticed http://my.voyager.net/~jrrandall/CookCoil.htm
which may be the device that Ed Leedskalnins claimed as the ' 'Perpetual Motion Holder' That is interesting.

Tommy K,
I'm going to rephrase in my own words my understanding of the concept of your wheel. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You have a flywheel with sufficient mass to provide momentum. Attached to this flywheel is a pendulum which swings back and forth from 0 degrees (3 o'clock) to 180 degrees (9 o'clock). This pendulum has a one way bearing or freewheel mechanism like in a bike hub that acts as a one-way ratchet that drives the flywheel. Thus the pendulum drives the flywheel in one direction and freewheels or coasts back near the starting point. The pendulum has a latch at 0 degrees (3 o'clock) which needs very little force to actuate. This latch is released then reset by the spinning flywheel.

Also somewhere there is a 'Merkaba' wheel (which is a new term to me, I'll need to research it) that seems to have some hundreds of ball bearing weights that can shift locations by rolling, I assume within or around the triangle shaped paths shown on the 'Merkaba' wheel.

Now here is where I'm a little fuzzy. You began by using a bike as an analogy. Is the flywheel on the same shaft as the pendulum, or is it 'geared' at some ratio to the pendulum like on a bike, with the pedals being the pendulum and the rear wheel being the flywheel? If the flywheel were on the same shaft it would move near the same speed as the pendulum swings. And the next release of the latch would occur just as the pendulum returned to it's starting point?

Now in thinking this through, when the pendulum is released its speed is slower than the flywheel unless the latch gives it a little nudge to start. It accelerates and starts pushing against the flywheel, which will steady its speed to that of the flywheel increasing the flywheel speed a little. Then when the pendulum reaches the bottom and starts up the other side gravity will slow it down until it stops and starts to swing back down. The pendulum tries to swing back to its start point, but it lost some energy to the flywheel and will not swing all the way back to the start point unless it gained some energy from a nudge when it was released?

Now what is unknown is how the flywheel and the pendulum interact with the 'Merkaba' wheel? And if the flywheel turns the same speed as the pendulum swings. And if the latching unlatching adds energy to the pendulums swing?

This is just my understanding from your posts.

Tommy K,
Thanks for the info about Matthew S. Emery copying Edward Leedskalnins' - 'Perpetual Motion Holder'. Maybe I should close the magnetic path on my Cook coils and see what happens?

Actually it would have been Edward Leedskalnin that copied or modified.
A search on Edward Leedskalnins' Coral Castle will help you find more info if you are not familiar with this unique guy.

I'm glad that you understand the working of the wheel. The Merkaba shape is only used by me at the top of my unit to gain extra momentum of centrifugal force it is not a must, but does allow the wheel to be subject to additional friction losses without losses. >< Understand?
The shape of the Merkaba works like that of a fulcrum and keeps the sphere weights that are inserted at right angle of the axes. There are many other attachments to my wheel that may or may not be required.
Another additional restoring force of the pendulum is the coil or "seer" posted in another thread. To where friction creates loss restoring force is added to overcome the loss.

Tommy, can you stop the rotation of the merkaba wheel suddenly and transfer some rotation energy in some useful manner?
I have allways speculated on the 'curved wooden boards, said to be in besslers wheel, and wondered if they were curved to the same dia. as the weights and maybe lined with rubber to 'snatch' the weight to a stop...
just some ramblings

Tommy K,
I have known about Mr. Leedskalnin since early 2001. Edward Leedskalnin wrote his 'Magnetic Current' book in 1945 and is no longer living. Who did Mr Leedskalnin copy from?

I'm sorry. I quickly read and thought you stated that Daniel McFarland Cook took the idea from Ed.

Wheelright,

Once the wheel is engaged there really is no need for a large inertia.
Place a pinball bearing into each triangle of the Merkaba shape. Do you see the action?

When you have a bike upside down start the wheel. Then rock the pedal back and forth to maintain the wheels RPM it takes nearly 0 torque. You could actually blow on the pedal to make it continue.

Does all this fit inside a wheel, as Bessler did, or does it require external parts?

Tommy,
You wrote:The Merkaba shape is only used by me at the top of my unit to gain extra momentum of centrifugal force it is not a must,
so if the Merkaba shape does not do whatever it is that needs doing to produce a torque to keep your wheel running, then what I understand you to mean is your wheel would work without the 'Merkaba'? Yes/No/Maybe?

Yes it will work without it. Although as mentioned I use it for the additional force.

Sorry for the bad computer info everyone, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Well, I guess it's better to be an idiot than a crook.
When you have a bike upside down start the wheel. Then rock the pedal back and forth to maintain the wheels RPM it takes nearly 0 torque. You could actually blow on the pedal to make it continue.
So then does it not matter what angles you start and stop at, it doesn't have to be 3 and 9 o' clock?

Bad computer info? I don't get it. Actually this sounds like one of your replies to one of my post LOL.

No Johnathan, In order to use it as a gravity device 9 and 3 are the preferred angles.
it would be kinda tough to have it swing from 12 to six then stop and reverse back to 12.
