Mayday! Mayday!!!

You will notice, in the 'Speed Doubler ' system video above, that both the drum wheel ( long arm in video) and the inner wheel (short arm in video) can act as prime movers, alternately and bi-directional.

Dear Path_Finder,
what do you think of this, my new speed doubler system?

Hello friends,
My gravity wheel design presented above, seems to be on hold, for the time being, for lack of concept testing build facilities. I hope to carry out the concept testing build at the first building facilities I get.

In the meantime, I can't help drawing more of my gravity wheel designs.

Below, is a drawing of a new gravity wheel concept, I came up this week, supposedly an improvement on my previous concepts.

What we have here, is a drum wheel, as usual, with four pairs of longer, rigid, pivoting arms on the rim, inside the drum wheel, with double hooks, that can hold a weight in between.
Each pair of this identical, diamatrically opposite longer, rigid pivoting arms is in a separate vertical, adjoining compartment of the drum wheel.

There are four identical shorter (half the length of the longer) rigid arms with hooks, one in each vertical compartment, pivoting freely on the transverse of a heavy swing, pivoting on the broken central axle of the drum wheel.

There are four identical weights resting between the double hooks of the longer rigid arms.

If and when the drum wheel rotates clockwise, the longer rigid arm with a weight between the double hooks, will get caught by the shorter rigid arm's hook at the 6 o'clock position and should the drum wheel continue to rotate clockwise, the weight, between the double hooks of the longer rigid arm and the hook of the shorter rigid arm, will be lifted towards the centre of the drum wheel, only to be forced to change place on to the double hooks of the longer rigid arm at the 12 o'clock position, restting the weights positions, every 45 degrees rotation.

Does my new gravity wheel concept makes any sense?

Dear forum friends.

This is the drawing I presented to you lately, in my other thread.

[raj]

The idea in the above drawing is to use the weight of a swinging wheel to lift another swinging WEIGHT from a lower point to a higher point withing the system.

Now look at this drawing.
A wheel swinging inside another wheel, in such an arrangement that both wheels rotate at the same speed.

[raj]

Now this is my gravity wheel concept which I am working on, for the past 8 months, with full collaboration from my forum friend, Path_Finder.

[raj]

Look what happens when I make this gravity wheel design change, by swinging the gravity wheel by its weights, inside anothe wheel.

[raj]

And here is the completed Swinging Gravity Wheel design.

As I see this, it looks to be an improvement on my original gravity wheel design, in as much it does not need any Speed Doubler mechanism.

The inside two wheels, on same axle, but separate hubs, swing separately.
The larger inside wheel rotates at the same speed of the outside drum wheel.
The smaller inside wheel rotates, at twice the speed, hanging/ resting on the swinging lower weights, as they are pulled up/lifted by the rotating drum wheel, because of the descending side net torque provided by the changing positions of the WEIGHTS, every 45 degrees turn of the drum wheel.

Please comment?

Too intricate system of strings and weights???

[path_finder]

Dear raj,
Remember the only way to obtain the above animation is a rotation speed of the smallest wheel equal to the double of the speed of the greatest one.
Any other value will drive to a keeling position.

[raj]

Dear Path_Finder,
If you follow my explanations and drawings, you will agree with me, that the internal larger wheel rotates at the same speed of the largest outer drum wheel.

The smallest inner wheel will rotate only as and when the lowest weights are pulled up/lifted up by the strings connected to the upper rim of the drum wheel, as the strings pass the 12 o'clock position every 45 degrees turn of the drum wheel and larger inner wheel, forcing the inner smallest wheel to make a 90 degrees turn, each time, in the same direction, thereby achieving the speed doubling requirement of the gravity wheel design.

I hope you can see it.

Hi friends!

I just noticed I've gone greener.

Green energy advocate I am.

Thank you, very much, whoever you are, for giving one more green dot.

I hope I truly deserve it.

Hi forum Friends.

I, NOW, believe that my gravity wheel concept, as per simulation by Path_Finder below, will STILL WORK, without the need of a SPEED DOUBLER mechanism.

The gravity wheel design itself, will assure the small inner wheel moving at twice the speed of the larger/drum wheel, as the weights will move around in their elliptical path inside the drum wheel.

I am on a long visit in UK, and therefore finding it hard to post easily for the time being.

This is my drawing posted in here back on 24 March 2012, that was the basis of Path_Finder's simulation.

This drawing was based on the need of the smaller inner wheel rotating at twice the speed of the larger drum wheel, which proved quite difficult to achieve on actual prototype building attempt.

Raj,
I wish you a nice trip to UK.
In the while, I'm afraid that you are going to get one more competition on this kind of wheel devices.
( I mean, wheels inspired on those well known 'walking machines'.)
Best!
