Dear Path_Finder,

We seem to be stuck with finding a suitable 'speed Doubler' mechanism, for our gravity wheel concept testing.

I am continuing to search for an altenative mechanism which could be a bit simpler to build.

Below is my new ' Speed Doubler ' design.
It shows a larger (drum) wheel (in black ink) and smaller wheel of half its diameter, (in red ink),on separate hubs but on same axle.

A second smaller cylindrical wheel (in black ink) rests on the inside rim of the smaller red wheel and hangs on eight swinging levers connected to the drum wheel inner side.

When the drum wheel turns, the smaller black wheel will turn at the same speed, causing the red wheel to turn at twice the speed, because the length of the inner diameter of the smaller black wheel is twice the length of the diameter of the inner rim of the smaller red wheel.

What do you make of this new ' Speed Doubler ' design?

Dear raj,
A suspended ring must be held in place after an half turn.
This is the reason why TWO of such as ring are needed, one helping the other. This structure is well known: this is the 'vesica pisces' with a roller in the middle.
Hereafter a particular application of this principle using some polygonal cogs replacing the circles.

Raj,..Here is a link may be useful ....excuse my intrusion,i like your design which is very promising but i think gears and a shaft ..bearing mounted through a the hub is the way to go.

Hello Rasselasss.

Thanks a lot for the link and your kind encouragement.

Everybody are welcomed to join in discussion on this forum, and even more welcomed to join us on this thread.

Me and Path_Finder have been continuing our search and discussion on our joint effort to find a way to test the gravity wheel concept . I wish more of us would help because, as Alan Bauldree has said to me once,' The Wheel Is Bigger than US all '.

Greetings to all forum members!

I have the pleasure to say my gravity wheel concept testing attempt is still ongoing.

I have even more pleasure to say that my search for a ' Speed Doubler ', to go with my gravity wheel design, is now complete.

I have just designed, built and tested my speed doubler system.

I am posting here, a series of pictures to show how I build my new speed doubler system.
See pictures below:

Now, ready for testing.

As I have said, several times before, I am no engineer, no skills in precision building, have no proper machines, and neither required materials.
So my sincere apology for my poor workmanship.

This is precisely why you should use simulation software, Raj. Think of the time it would have saved you.

[raj]

Thanks dradford, for your kind suggestion.
Simulation software will be much time consuming, for me, to learn.
And too expensive for my OAP purse.

Anyway, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and NOT in the recipe.

I am trying to post, below, a video of my new ' Speed Doubler ' system. I hope it comes on alright?
