Predictions for 2016

[AB Hammer]

One of my prediction for 2016 is.

What could have been what Bessler did for the prime mover will be divulged and understood making several wheels work/run that could not work before the prime mover was built into each device. At least the unidirectional version.

Hi Alan,

Agreed, but are they the same?

[AB Hammer]

Hi Trevor Lyn

Well I can't say for positive but at this point it is not as important as long as it runs. I also believe the bidirectional version as well after what I figured out today. It suck being sick but it give a lot of thought time.

PS I added you to my forum if you don't mind.

Hmm...can't speak for 2016, BUT...I do believe that, in the year 3000, social networking sites YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, will merge to form one super time-wasting site called...YouTwitFace. :D

Edit: Of course, one could hope that in 2016 everyone will receive a free bloom box...? :D

Tiger, did you make that up?

[Silvertiger]

Lol I'm not that original. We have Conan O'Brien to thank for that one, from his segment "In the Year 3000." Yeah, they just make up random stuff that pertains to stuff we see right now. For example: In the year 3000, sagging britches will evolve into the need of toting them around in a Radio Flyer while they walk around in their briefs. :)

Oh MAN!! I didn't need that vision this morning, Silvertiger. LOL

Portable Device Harvests Energy from Chaotic Motion

Engineers have long pursued the idea that the energy of chaotic motion — everything from walking to ocean tides — could be harnessed for electrical generation. But few devices have proven up to the task; that is, sufficiently practical and scalable to provide enough useful, usable power. Now, a UK-company has invented what it believes is a simple, portable device that can realistically convert many of the almost limitless sources of continuous motion energy into electricity. They claim their device can translate various kinds of bi-directional motion around an axis into a rotational motion that can drive a generator, producing anywhere from a few watts to hundreds of kilowatts of power.

This vid gives a better perspective of the size of the test unit and how the chaotic movement is created in the first instance, to then be harnessed into rotational energy of a flywheel.

I can't comment on the mechanics but it appears similar to a differential ?!

Isn't this just a more complicated version of a kinetic (self-winding) watch: https://youtu.be/Z1L5D70Dphc?t=102

[eccentrically1]

Since their version has more degrees of freedom of motion to transfer, it is possibly more efficient than a self winding watch.

[AB Hammer]

In 4 more years the self winding watch will celebrate it's 100 year anniversary.

As for the Device Harvests Energy from Chaotic Motion. I applaud them for their efforts.

Nice find Ralph

Alan, the year's about over. How's it looking on your end? IMNSHO, 1/2 of your prediction came true. On my end the "divulging" part ain't happening. I predict 2017 is going to be the year either this puzzle is solved or I throw in the towel.

Hi Walter

One test positive acceleration and others the show positive on paper. I think I will wait till after inauguration of Trump settles down so political news won't drown some real news, and I'm sure I'll some other wheels built by then.

AB Hammer...get your 2017 predictions ready!

(I am about 50% complete on my test model...hope to finish it 1st quarter 2017)
