I agree with the greendoor's assumptions.
The gravity seems to be a flux of very small particles giving a pressure on every kernel of our body, the summation of all these elementary pressures being our own weight. We cannot today see them because we need a radiation much more smaller for their detection, but they are here and we can only observe the result of their activity. So far the gravitic acceleration is always present, but the motion depends of the application of the resultant force. If we are siting on a chair, the resultant force acting on our body will be locked by the chair, and the chair locked by the floor.
In an earlier topic (
http://www.besslerwheel.com/forum/viewt ... 3152#53152) I explained the three methods for obtaining a gravitic engine.
1. In an uniform gravitic field and using some fixed mass weights, by changing with a clever way the position of the weights. But this is not sufficient because the energy gained during the down travel will be loosen during the lift up back travel.
So the
travel path modification must be combined with an another complementary action
This secondary action can be another gravitic or buoyancy mechanism, Maxwell daemon, magnetic force, etc.
I gave an example (legs_j1bis.gif picture) of this twin action in another topic
(
http://www.besslerwheel.com/forum/viewt ... c&start=30).
Although Bessler seems to have found a prime-over based on this principe (and setup within two different designs),
nevertheless they were several others examples in the past using the same one (buzzsaw, Asa jackson, etc.)
2. In an uniform gravitic field and using
variable weights, there is possible to build a wheel where the left side is light when the right side is heavy, giving an permanent unbalance (even if the variation of the weight is very small).
This is the principe of the 1905 Tesla patent. Some russian experiments confirm this idea.
All researchers on this subject (like Mr Greg Smith) were obsessed by the full levitation, instead to apply it first at the unbalanced wheel.
Also the reason why Mr Wurtz, Mr Kunstler, etc. were not successful is the fact to be only in 2D instead in 3D.
The flowerbowl brings an elegant solution for the building of such as rotating COG objects, therefore with a variable weight.
3. Using a non uniform gravitic field and constant masses:
This is the most difficult way today. IMO this was the principe used by the Vimanas and the mythic 'Flying carpet'.
The creation of a 'gravitic hole' under a platform (or carpet) seems to be difficult.
We have no way to verify the truth about the Grebennikov platform, but I'm still continuing my studies on the 'gravitic lens' (like the Fresnel lens for the light).Any field reduction obtained with such as 'gravity lens' can be used for an unbalanced wheel.
The Virl of the Nazis, based on the Schauberger works on the vortex, could be (if true) an application of this third point.
We can only regret that so few budgets are provided for the studies on the 'gravitic engine'.
A falling apple allowed the mankind to make a big forward step.
We are dispensing a lot of money for some sophisticated accelerators and meanwhile we forget to investigate into very cheap and basic experiments (like mentioned in my signature).
I cannot imagine why nobody though on this before, including myself? It is so simple!...
