Beam gravity engine...

[iacob alex]

....can be a manner of thinking about a possible gravity powered engine , starting with a Middle Ages (~1705) machine , at :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_engine

All we need to do is simply , to rethink the "working push" : the steam into the gravity unbalance (torque difference).

As a matter of fact , we replace the constant beam with a variable (leverage) one.

If this design is not deserving , but we maintain this idea...can we imagine a workable drawing ?
Anyway , the charm is a possible simplicity...

.....has a design on net : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upp-Xr5JAg0
....and a real replication: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9YLkoJz7rM
.....working / rotating for a while , due to a starting push.
They play a beam / lever with two equal masses /equal arms ( a centered body ) and a pendulum (an eccentered body ).
If we play two masses / eccenters ( pendulums ) only , on the beam , it does seem that , due to a continuous gravity unbalance on the same side of the lever's fulcrum ...it's a "different" game...

Not bad idea together with flywheel..
Here I found something like beam power multiplier. Not sure how it supposed to work.

Here is a wheel that I play with from time to time, that uses the same approach but in a different manner, that I posted over a year ago.

.....if we replace the steam power concept from :

...with the gravity unbalance ( Class 2,3 oscillatory leverage ) of two beams , at :

Hi Alex,

draw in the force of Gravity vectors and you will see the force Jam you have on this device.

[iacob alex]

.....not difficult to test , has a short spare parts listing :
-two beams
-a byke's pedal crank
-two fulcrums (one for beams, one for byke's crank)
So , can we play a possible self running Class 1,2,3 compound oscillatory leverage ?
The main idea is to maintain a continuous unbalance ( torque difference ) , on the same side of the byke's pedal crank fulcrum.

.....has as a starting observation , your "feeling" , if you move the finger along the beam ( lever ) , at :

The variable reaction of the sliding support and a Class 1 lever can help you to imagine and play a ( continuous...) gravity unbalance ?

.....if you make a connection with a lab-demo (Loaded beam-moving scales...or variable support point ) , at :
www.physics.uci.edu/~demos/images/Demos/1j10.30.gif
Effectively we can test a possible continuous unbalanced leverage ( two beams with a variable support point +Class 1 equal arms lever ).
The certitude of science is one thing we can't get without repeatable proofs...

…..can be simplified , if we take a look ( and think about…) , at :

That a good concept where the mass closes to the right pivot point exerts less forces of the rotating axle.

Finding the correct configuration is the hardest part of the implementation.
