"Since the weight moves the same vertical distance up and down in one revolution of the wheel, the resultant potential energy through one cycle is 0"
Some people repeat it like mantra...
Yes! if it was one weight, or if there was no leverage. But there is 4 or more pairs of weights which work in multi-leverage system. Thanks this weights on falling side are "heavier" than weights on rising side. Or saying in other words; weights on falling side have greater potential energy than weights on rising side.
Two weights on seesaw are no more two weights - they became one.
Only leverage systems can be powered by gravity.
By he way, in the voting here there should be one more question;
"Is the PM device you have invented powered by gravity only?"
interesting...
Powered by a wound up spring?
