Re: Grease power
In this drawing the red levers work together to shift the blue lever. The lines have a spring on them that is 1/4th the power to lift up the weight so the bottom red lever and the bottom left red lever hang a total of 0.35 distance combined from their axles. I mean to say each of those levers is 0.175 distance from their axles. That's because it should be lifted the top weight from a 45 degree angle which is 0.7 distance from its axle. I could be off on my visualization but I think that's right. If so then after the red weight falls flat there on the top right it would be a wheel 1 distance lever overbalance on the wheel which will turn into 0.35 distance counter torque before another red lever drops.

Re: Grease power
I explored how weights could shift if they were on a conveyor belt. I used the shape that I think was in Bessler's 5 billion dollar diary that I think I bought when I was a kid which is the circle with two boxes around it. I found that if these weights shift and all of the weights are the same weight that the wheel will be balanced when shifted. But I know that the weight can be heavier that is being lifted because it's being lifted at a 45 degree angle. So I made the weights being lifted heavier and I calculated it to be overbalanced when shifted. I think it's promising, you guys should study it! With both wheels working together it might work better too. So I consider this a design that would utilize both wheels that I drew. In which the top and bottom shift weights and the far left and right shift weights. I didn't draw this but the weights could shift on the top left and bottom right and bottom right and top left but I'm not sure how that would turn out yet. Surely if it is shifting into an overbalanced position at the top left bottom left and top right bottom right too it would be continuously overbalanced.

Bonjour Preoccupied,
A quoi sert le cercle?
Vous devriez dessinner la course de chaque poids sur les carrés indépendement de l'ensemble: le carré avec ses deux poids et les limites de déplacement de ceci, le losange idem.
Y a t'il possibilité de passage des poids du carré au losange?
Utilisez des couleurs differentes si possible pour les différentes figures pour êtres plus explicite.
Vous avez peut être vu quelque chose que je n'arrive pas à distinguer!
Hello Preoccupied,
What is the circle for?
You should draw the stroke of each weight on the squares independently of the set: the square with its two weights and the displacement limits of this, the diamond ditto.
Is there a possibility of changing the weights from square to diamond?
Use different colors if possible for the different figures to be more explicit.
You may have seen something I can’t distinguish!

Re: Grease power
In the diary I think the circle was just to fit the squares evenly, or to help draw the squares. But I didn't always think this, of course I had all of those ramp ideas earlier.
The two weights fall straight down and pull the diagonal weights up at a 45 degree angle. Then on the opposite side of the wheel it does it again because its orientation is completely flipped. Any position on the wheel can do this so there can be 4 wheels like this in one direction like a CCW Wheel. The two wheels I drew after the weights shift, it is balanced if the weights have all the same weight amount. But if the lifted weights are heavier it will be overbalanced. So what might need to be done is partially turn one of these wheels and place it between the reload point of the other wheel so that they can take turns reaching their reload point for optimal performance. But there is also the positions I haven't drawn yet, if those have the same overbalance effect if the lifted weights are heavier then a lot of weights could be overbalanced between the different reload positions in their turns. I haven't drawn or measured the top left and bottom right or the top right and bottom left weights shifting yet.
Anything specific that I missed?

Re: Grease power
The green numbers are if the weights being lifted weigh 1.2.

Re: Grease power
I think the efficiency increases if there is smaller boxes further apart from each other because it gives more time for the weights to shift. My concern with efficiency is that the weights might not shift all of the way with a slight bit of motion and if it were to work okay it would need some space to shift the weights quickly enough into position. I'm kicking the bucket down the road for this design in that I don't have good enough geometry or trig in my mind to measure all of the distances when I turn the wheel into different positions and I can't calculate it in motion either. What I can say that I've found is that after the weights shift if the lifted weights are heavier because they can be lifted on a 45 degree angle that it is overbalanced after the shift happens. But I don't know if it is impeded a lot before the shifting happens that stops the wheel from working, but I think conservation of energy would try to do that.
There might be more combinations for pushing weights along conveyors like this. But laid out here in my recent posts is the concept that when weights are paired up along a square that they can move weights on another square 45 degrees apart from each other and if the lifted weight is heavier it will make a wheel overbalanced after the weights shift. But if all of the weights were the same amount it would shift and be balanced. One of the clues from Bessler that this wheel does not do is line up weights one against the other. So maybe if the square rotated also some of the weights would be right next to each other. If the falling weights or driving weights also rotate their box in 45 degrees it would line up two of the weights and this would add to the overbalance. If it can rotate back in time to lift the weights again that would be an added overbalance. Perhaps if it does this it won't shift exactly on opposite sides of the wheel. This would be a new drawing if I make this drawing.

Re: Grease power
Because a descending weight loses torque, I now prefer this variation of my design today. What this is doing is the right boxes that are dropping weights have a spring pulling with them and on the left the weights are falling against the spring. So it's a little less than 4x weights being lifted but it is a practical more amount of weight being able to be shifted because now all 8 weights participate in lifting the two weights being lifted straight up. So on the right there is four weights plus four springs pulling down and on the left there is four weights pulling the spring apart. This should shift more smoothly because the springs and the weight ascending will assist lifting the 4x weights. And actually now that I think about it I might be able to if the wheel is in motion be able to lift greater than 4x weights because the ascending side is driving the weights up. A calculation I can't make precisely right now but I can presume perhaps I can get a little over 4x if the spring is fast and the ascending weights fall harder into their positions because the wheel is moving. This might be what he meant by the weights gain force form their own swinging, because the swinging 4x weights that keep the wheel overbalance gain a little force allowing them to possibly be heavier than 4x. Thank you to the discussion in MT51 comment enquiry ? topic in which they were talking about this dynamic basically.

Re: Grease power
I remeasured my previous drawings and found them to be balanced after the weights shift. In this drawing I lift some weights on the ascending side in light green color. Lifting the green weights in the middle of the ascension on the right side of the wheel saves the counterbalance they would have on the bottom and bottom right if it had fully dropped on the left side of the wheel. And that is precisely where the overbalance comes from in this picture.

Re: Grease power
I've pondered today on if the boxes would work better if they rolled along a track. If the box rolls towards the rim of the wheel it will slow down, BUT does that also mean that is has more torque on its weights to lift something? I think it does because it will slow down and be pushed against by the wheel moving at the same time. So more weight can be pushed upwards if the driving force is the box rolling towards the rim to produce lifting power. At the same time on the opposite side of the wheel which will have less or no lifting power it will pull towards the center of the wheel. So the bottom half would be full of weights near the center and the top half will be full of weights near the rim and the balance doesn't change until the two box sets roll near the horizontal plane that lets them to move. How about that? How much force do I gain from rolling the boxes towards the rim to lift another weights straight up? An interesting set of mechanical devices would need to be invented to have a rolling gear on a track also drive up a weight into position. It could also cause something to smack something else on the wheel. I Mean as it rolls it will roll harder and faster because it slows down angularly and builds up force as the wheel pushes into it so it will roll harder and harder and could smack something on the wheel with its force.

Re: Grease power
Not any of you showed interest in this design type last time I posted it.
I have in this drawing the weights swinging between two points. There are two weights in each location and one set of weights around the wheel just do the lifting and the other move out of balance. The top left weight that does the lifting falls as the wheel ascends for it. It pushes the weight out on the top right by pulley. This is out of some of my first interpretations of how Bessler might have done his wheel and yes it was based on the swastika shape. But Bessler didn't draw a swastika in his diary he drew the two squares and a circle in the center but the circle might have just been there to help draw the other square diamond shaped square. When I was a kid I drew the squares looking for the solution and I drew lines all over the place looking for clues and found a device that can amplify power with extra gears but this is not likely Bessler's idea but my idea that I found on my own. More likely is that this design is Bessler's wheel and that it's an overbalanced wheel that Bessler found. If you take the concept that he says weights are swinging and you take that in the diary that I had that the squares were important, the weights in this drawing I made are swinging and the ascending side is driving the side being lifted and it makes more sense that if this works that it would be the design Bessler likely had.
I don't know what I'm doing. I haven't reeducated myself properly since my last concussion in 2009 in which I think someone fed me gasoline. And I was assaulted between 2004-2009 by people close to me. I just haven't been on top of getting better really. This is more of a preoccupation. I'm curious. I know that I had interest in this when I was a little kid and I was VERY SMART then. All I'm doing is embarrassing myself by trying at something I am not very good at. And I'm okay with that right now.

Re: Grease power
Somehow a spring on a beltline pushes another wheels mechanisms shifting their weights. Mechanically move the springs back to be moved along the conveyor again by some kind of clockwork.

Re: Grease power
I think I fudged explaining how I calculated in my previous description. I mean to say I explained badly then.
The conveyor belt is connected to the wheel on the right which moves by weights. The wheel with weights on it has a radius of 400. Minus the friction the spring pushes against the belt around the circle path, this conveyor belt should get minimal torque from the spring because of its angle. It starts off with 14 degree angle against it and gradually pushes towards 0 degrees. 14(cos)=97% efficient. The remainder 3 is divided from 100 so 100/3=33.33 which is the amount of proportion the force reduced from the spring push into the conveyor that effects the wheel that moves the conveyor on the right. If spring is 10 weight force then 10/33.33=0.3. 0.3 weight force pushes into the wheel with weights on it. Then the radius of the wheel driving the belt is 400. 0.3 times 400=120. The weights overbalanced must then exceed 120 weight force and the friction of ten weight force against the belt.
I had said I made the spring 6 units of force. That gave me 6/33=0.18. That is multiplied by 400, the radius of the driving wheel on the belt. 0.18*400=72. Then I also said there are two springs that need to be compressed because the weights shift 45 degrees turn and the spring 90 turn. 72*2=144. There is about 144 resistance. The spring moves the other mechanism weights leaving one 45 degrees offset CW to the right at a 400 length lever, which is 280 distance from the axle. 280-144= 139 unit weight force overbalanced. Then there is 12 units of force friction against the belt because two weights 2*6=12.
I will add that increasing the distance the weights shift will increase the leverage. If the weights shift 33x distance it will be about 3300 distance levers. The units resistance would be 400 because 1 units force from belt against conveyor to move the wheel with weights on it and the torque would be 1910 then. That's 3300 at 45 degrees or 2310 (the offset weight) and minus the 400 (resistance) to be 1910. And there would be 66 units of force in friction on the belt from both combined spring. This is still a lot of friction but more torque. I don't know if even with very efficient roller bearings if the force of the spring won't just wedge the operation of this wheel to a halt.

Re: Grease power
In the balancing act that the green weights are doing approaching the very top and bottom positions, it's the weight pointed into the axle that is heavy because the weights off to one side are counter balancing each other. So it gets pretty narrow as it approaches the top and bottom positions on the weight pointed towards the axle. I think that a big difference of weight could be used to shift the green weights by the blue weights. I dare say 1 weight could lift 4 weight within reasonable amount of time for the wheel to operate smoothly. There could be any amount of weight difference if it moved into the top and bottom position and waited there for the weights to shift like clockwork. It might be able to roll into such position and work like clockwork but a smooth moving wheel would need an earlier start on the weights shifting so maybe I dare say 4 and 1 weight amounts might move it smoothly. Dare I say it's 4 weights moved by 1 weight amount? Dare I say that because it's Bessler's clue?

Re: Grease power
I corrected the flaws in my previous drawing. The purple weights remain weightless around the entire wheel. The purple weights shift because of the pink weights. A light spring assists in moving the pink weights while the pink weights are weightless and their connecting purple weights are weightless. I think these weights become weightless because they try to lift their opposite right angle set of weights in the opposite direction. The orientation allows for the weights moving in unison to shift in the same direction on the inside of the wheel for the pink weights on the left and right but otherwise the opposite opposing weights counterbalance each other making them weightless and unless I've made a mistake this should work.
